Tea & coffee reduces asthmatic breathing

Many people know that tea and coffee contain a substance called caffeine. This caffeine is a type of xanthine compound (Xanthine Derivative). Two other compounds of this xanthine are theophylline and theobromine. Tea contains theophylline and coffee contains theobromine. Caffeine goes into our body and slightly stimulates the adrenal glands that sit on top of the kidneys. They are very quickly excites the cerebral cortex of the central nervous system. As a result, drinking tea and coffee makes the body feel a little stronger, and laziness is removed. This caffeine also slightly stimulates the heart, increasing the contraction and expansion of the heart. Caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine act on all three kidneys, increasing the amount of urine. Each of them relaxes the involuntary muscles of our body. Theophylline and theobromine have effects on the airways and ducts of the lungs. They dilate these ducts and help free air movement in the lungs. For this reason, tea, and coffee can help a little to reduce the narrowing of airways in asthma patients. Drinking tea or coffee temporarily reduces the breathing problems of asthma.
