Women can gain multiple health benefits from moderate consumption of white tea. White tea is rich in antioxidants such as catechins and polyphenols, which can combat free radicals, slow down the cellular aging process, help maintain skin elasticity and luster, and have significant anti-aging effects.
White tea is also rich in fluoride and amino acids, which have positive effects on strengthening and whitening teeth. Moreover, white tea has detoxifying properties, helps dilate blood vessels, increases renal blood flow, and promotes the elimination of toxins from the body.
White tea benefits cardiovascular health by lowering blood cholesterol levels, preventing atherosclerosis, and reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. After menopause, women face increased risks of cardiovascular diseases; therefore, moderate consumption of white tea helps protect the heart and maintain cardiovascular health.
However, women should avoid excessive consumption of white tea during lactation, menstruation, and pregnancy to prevent potential adverse effects. Additionally, as white tea has a relatively cold nature, individuals with cold body constitution should consume it cautiously.
