Because the human body will come into contact with alkylamine antigen when drinking tea at ordinary times, once the disease containing this substance comes, the human body can resist it. American researchers studied the effect of antigen on γ -δ T cells in the immune system.
These cells are considered as the first line of defense against bacterial and viral infections. At the same time, tea also contains a lot of amino acids, which is a strong backing for human body to improve immunity.

There are many components in tea that can eliminate free radicals, such as tea polyphenols, tea polysaccharides, tea proteins and vitamins. Therefore, tea is known as "the drink of the atomic age", and some people claim that "tea can protect you from radiation".
Studies have shown that exogenous components such as catechins, tea polyphenols, flavonoid glycosides and theobromine in tea trees are closely related to their radiation sensitivity and free radical content. Tea contains tea polyphenols, lipopolysaccharide, vitamin C, B vitamins, amino acids and so on, all of which help to prevent radiation damage.

In addition, tea is rich in vitamins A and C, and vitamin A has a good effect on preventing dry eye and cataract. Vitamin C can protect the damage of antioxidant free radicals, which is very helpful for the prevention of cataract. Therefore, drinking tea regularly is good for health and keeps away from eye diseases such as cataracts.
