　　in black tea coffee Under the combined action of alkaline and aromatic substances, it increases the blood flow of the kidneys, improves the glomerular filtration rate, expands the renal capillaries, and inhibits the reabsorption of water by the renal tubules, thus promoting an increase in urine output. Drinking black tea can help eliminate lactic acid, uric acid (related to gout), excess salt (related to high blood pressure), harmful substances, etc. in the body, as well as alleviate edema caused by heart disease or nephritis.

At the same time, caffeine controls the temperature center of the hypothalamus and regulates body temperature. It also stimulates the kidneys to promote the excretion of heat and waste and maintain physiological balance in the body.

　　5. Refreshing and fatigue-relieving effect

　　Through medical experiments, it was discovered that the caffeine in black tea excites people by stimulating the cerebral cortex. nerve The central nervous system promotes refreshing and focused thinking, thereby sharpening thinking responses and enhancing memory; it also has an exciting effect on the vascular system and heart, strengthening the heartbeat, thus accelerating blood circulation to facilitate metabolism, and at the same time promoting sweating and diuresis. This two-pronged approach accelerates the excretion of lactic acid (substances that make muscles feel tired) and other waste substances in the body, achieving the effect of eliminating fatigue.
