In the field of health science, every piece of information may affect everyone's lifestyle and physical health, so I have always adhered to a rigorous and responsible attitude. I will check every knowledge point and every piece of data repeatedly to ensure that the content delivered to you is accurate and useful. Today, let's take a good look at the current super hot milk tea, there are many doorways here!
In the past few years, walking in the streets and alleys, you can see people holding milk tea everywhere. The bubble tea shops are next to each other, exquisitely decorated and eye-catching, and there are often long queues at the door. Whether it is a young student or a busy office worker, they all favor milk tea, and it has naturally become a new generation of "happy water".
On weekend afternoons, the sun shines through the windows in the coffee shop. Xiaoyan, a college student, and her girlfriends sit around a table filled with various flavors of milk tea. Xiaoyan excitedly picked up a cup of bubble tea, watched the pearls in it tumbling in the milk tea, couldn't wait to plug in the straw, took a big sip, the sweet taste instantly spread in her mouth, and she squinted her eyes with satisfaction. "Wow, this milk tea is so delicious! I feel like I can drink several drinks a day. Xiaoyan said to her girlfriends with a smile.
But in the evening, the problem came. Xiaoyan lay on the bed, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep. She looked at the dark ceiling and was full of doubts: "I usually sleep well, what's wrong today?" Her mind was unusually clear, thoughts were flashing through her mind, and her body was getting a little hot. The occasional sound of vehicles driving outside the window was particularly clear in the silent night, which made Xiaoyan even more irritable.
Coincidentally, office worker Cuong also encountered a similar situation. After a busy day, he went shopping with his colleagues after work. When I passed by a bubble tea shop, I was attracted by the enticing aroma, so I bought a cup of fruit tea. When he drank it, Cuong only felt that the taste was refreshing and very thirst-quenching. But when he got home, Cuong felt his heart beating a little fast, and sitting on the sofa, he could clearly feel his heart beating "thump" in his chest. Not only that, but his mood also became a little anxious, and the things he had planned suddenly lost interest, and he was inexplicably a little uneasy in his heart.
Situations like Xiaoyan and Cuong are actually not uncommon in life. Many people don't know that the seemingly delicious milk tea has a "little secret" hidden in it - its caffeine content may be higher than that of coffee! Everyone must be curious, how can there be so much caffeine in milk tea?
We all know that milk tea is made from "milk" and "tea", and tea itself contains caffeine. Caffeine is present as a natural ingredient in tea during the growth process. Different types of tea have different caffeine content. For example, black tea, which undergoes a series of complex production processes such as fermentation, has a relatively high caffeine content; Green tea, on the other hand, retains more of the original ingredients of tea leaves during the production process, and the caffeine content is not low.
Nowadays, in order to pursue efficiency and taste, many bubble tea shops on the market directly use concentrated tea powder to brew milk tea. These concentrated tea powders are processed through a special process in which the caffeine in the tea leaves is highly concentrated. The caffeine content of milk tea brewed with such tea powder is much higher than that of the tea we make at home.
To use a simple analogy, the caffeine in one cup of milk tea is roughly equivalent to 4 cups of coffee. That's not a small amount, and if you think about it, if you drink 0 cups of coffee in one sitting, your body will definitely have a noticeable reaction. And many people often don't realize this problem when they drink milk tea, and they still treat milk tea as an ordinary drink, drinking cup after cup.
However, everyone's tolerance to caffeine is different. Just like some people have a racing heart and insomnia after drinking a cup of coffee, while some people don't feel anything after several cups. This is because each person's body's metabolic function and nervous system sensitivity to caffeine are different. Therefore, if you have insomnia, anxiety, palpitation and other discomforts after drinking milk tea, you have to make some adjustments and drink less milk tea.
In addition to caffeine, the biggest health problem with milk tea is that it is too high in sugar and fat. Generally speaking, there will be 10 to 0 grams of fat in a cup of milk tea, what is this concept? Equivalent to the fat content of several pieces of fatty meat! The sugar content of bubble tea is between 0 and 0 grams, while the World Health Organization recommends that adults should consume no more than 0 grams of added sugars per day, preferably below 0 grams. Drinking a cup of bubble tea, the sugar intake is far exceeded.
Let's take a look at the process of making milk tea. In a bubble tea shop, the clerk expertly picks up a cup and first adds a few spoonfuls of pearls to it, which are soaked in syrup to crystal clear and exude an alluring sheen. Then, the clerk pours a large spoonful of creamer into the cup, then adds the tea soup brewed with concentrated tea powder, then adds different flavors of syrup according to the customer's requirements, and finally pours in some ice cubes, and a delicious cup of milk tea is made. From this production process, it can be seen that it is difficult to think of the sugar and fat content in milk tea.
Many people are completely unaware of these problems when they drink milk tea. While enjoying the delicious taste of milk tea, I unknowingly consumed a lot of caffeine, sugar, and fat. After a long time, the weight began to gain, the clothes that originally fit became tighter and tighter, and some worrying indicators appeared on the physical examination report.
Therefore, when you enjoy the happiness brought by milk tea, you must pay more attention. Pay attention to controlling the amount of milk tea you drink, choose some low-sugar, low-fat milk tea, or make your own milk tea at home, so that you can enjoy the deliciousness and ensure your health.
