Today at "Rreze Dielli" we visited the workshop of agronomist Zef Gjeta, who told us about the benefits of different teas, how we can consume them but not only. He also talked about the benefits of honey and essential oils. He says that people have a wrong concept about teas, as people only drink tea when they are sick. But in fact we should consume from 1 to 4 cups of tea a day. "The important thing is that these teas are not all the same, so we say that chamomile has a calming effect and we are agitated, we are sick, we can't sleep, we shouldn't drink 4 chamomile teas a day. We should drink a chamomile tea if we have this agitated state to drink it with dinner, so that it gives an effect and we sleep more comfortably. But don't drink four teas the same, because it has the effect of mass, on the one hand they are good, but they are bad on other sides,'' he says. It is also stated that there are some rules for tea, where for plants such as juniper, hawthorn, wild apple or root such as chicory or other plant, they must be boiled together with water for 10 minutes. "While other teas like sage.... they are teas that should not be boiled, we have to take clean water, boil the water and then pour the tea inside. We leave these leaves for 7-8 minutes and consume them,'' he says. Otherwise, these teas lose their value, so they should not be boiled with water. Olive leaf is one of the teas with the most benefits for our health. Agronomist Zef Gjeta says that olive leaves should be boiled together with water. While adding that it is advisable to drink tea with honey and not with sugar. While showing some combinations of teas that have many benefits in the body. "In fact, it always depends on the seasons, in winter we try teas that are composed of fruits and roots more. While in other seasons it is a combination of flowers and leaves. We're specifically getting a blueberry and corn whisker tea here. They are very good for the urinary tract, for the kidneys when we have sand or initial stones in the kidneys. The blueberry is amazing,'' he says. Agronomist Zef Gjeta also tells about the plants that are best for tea, where the two types of mountain tea occupy the main place. "The two mountain teas in Albania, like all dual things, the mountain tea of the north and the mountain tea of the south. It is actually red oregano and southern mountain tea. Alongside and attached to it is the balsam, the balsam flower is a flower that grows in the same places as oregano. And it has very good effects on the body, anti-inflammatory against tumors and infections. We also have lavender.'' He advises that honey be used in the morning, about one tablespoon is the minimum amount that we should consume in the morning, but it can be consumed during the day, while he says that we can also consume it in cakes but not use it during baking because it loses its value. food. "For example, I have been eating a slice of bread with honey in the morning for 40 years when I want to wake up. But the advice for other people is better advised Dissolved, in a glass of water, in a milk and falls more easily in the stomach and we take this dose. Otherwise, during the day, it's quite good and can be used combined in dessert, always thrown at the end, after it's baked,'' he says.
