Winter brings cold and dry weather, which often causes dry and itchy skin for many people.Drinking tea can help prevent winter itch because tea contains trace elements like manganese that protect the body's skin.Drinking tea can help prevent dryness.

Manganese protects the skin in three ways: firstly, it participates in many enzyme reactions in the body, promoting protein metabolism, and also helps eliminate harmful substances that can damage the skin, thus reducing the negative stimulation to the skin;secondly, it promotes the accumulation of vitamin B6 in the liver, strengthening the skin's anti-inflammatory function;thirdly, it enhances the activity of polysaccharides and glycoside transferase, catalyzing the metabolism of certain vitamins in the body, which all contribute to the normal metabolism of sebum, preventing the skin from drying out.The manganese content in tea is quite high.According to relevant test data, the manganese content per gram of dry tea varies depending on the variety. For example, the West Lake Longjing tea in green tea is 1.40 mg, the Lushan Yunwu tea is 1 mg;

the Anxi Tie Guan Yin tea in green tea is 1 mg;the Mengshan Huangya tea in yellow tea is 0.65 mg;the red tea in red tea is 0.60 mg.The manganese content in the tea also varies depending on the tea.If you drink 1-2 grams of green tea brewed with 100 ml of hot water for 10 minutes, the manganese content in the West Lake Longjing tea is 0.506 mg, the Lushan Yunwu tea is 0.400 mg, the Anxi Tie Guan Yin tea is 0.238 mg, the Mengshan Huangya tea is 0.198 mg, and the red tea is 0.017 mg.If people drink 4-6 grams of green tea brewed daily, they can obtain 1/3 or more of the manganese needed by the body from the tea.This is undoubtedly very beneficial for protecting the skin from dryness and itch.

If people drink 4-6 grams of green tea brewed tea every day, they can obtain 1/3 or more of the manganese needed by the body from the tea.This is undoubtedly very beneficial for protecting the skin from dryness and itching.
