Remember! Drinking tea 9 "don't drink"

Drinking tea is an indispensable part of modern people's lives, but it doesn't mean one can drink it recklessly. If you don't pay attention to the method, not only will you gain no benefits, but also may have bad effects on your health. Let's see what the customs are in drinking tea!

Overindulgence is not drinking.

Drinking strong tea can lead to an overexcitement of the body's excitability, which can have a negative impact on the cardiovascular and nervous systems. People with heart disease may experience rapid heartbeat, irregular pulse after drinking strong tea, making their condition worse again.

Before Bed Don't Drink

This is especially important for those who are just starting to drink tea. Many people find it difficult to fall asleep after drinking tea, and in extreme cases can affect their mood the next day, so people with nervous exhaustion or insomnia should be particularly careful.

Pre-meal fasting

Drinking small quantities of tea before or during meals is not a problem, but drinking large amounts of tea or using very concentrated tea can interfere with the absorption of many essential elements (such as calcium) and trace elements (such as iron, zinc etc.). Special attention should be paid to not consuming milk products while drinking tea.

The theaflavin and thearubigin in tea will bind to the calcium element in milk, forming an insoluble calcium salt that is excreted from the body, thereby greatly reducing the nutritional value of milk.

After drinking do not drink anymore.

After drinking, ethanol in the wine enters the blood through the digestive tract and is converted to acetaldehyde in the liver. Acetaldehyde is then further metabolized into acetic acid, which is eventually broken down into carbon dioxide and water, excreted from the body.

Consuming tea after drinking alcohol can quickly cause a diuretic effect on the kidneys, allowing acetaldehyde to enter the kidneys prematurely.

Acetaldehyde has a stimulating effect on the kidneys and can affect kidney function, so people who frequently drink tea after drinking alcohol are more likely to suffer from nephritis.

The alcohol in wine is very stimulating to the heart and blood vessels, so when you drink wine, it stimulates your heart. Tea also has a similar effect, so together they make your heart beat faster. Therefore, heart patients should avoid drinking tea after wine.

New tea not drunk.

Fresh tea can stimulate the gastric mucosa, causing gastrointestinal discomfort, and even exacerbate the condition. From a nutritional perspective, not all fresh tea is nutritionally optimal.

New tea refers to the leaves which have been plucked less than a month. These teas contain unhealthy substances like polyphenols, alcohols, and aldehydes as well as unoxidized materials because they were not allowed to sit for some time. If one drinks new tea for an extended period of time, it may cause uncomfortable reactions such as diarrhea or bloating (except green tea).

Do not take medicine with tea water.

Some people, especially tea drinkers, choose to take medicine with tea water, but tea contains tannins that can combine with the drugs and change their properties, hinder absorption and affect efficacy. Therefore, we should use boiled water for taking medicine. This is why there's a saying "tea dissolves medicines".

Yesterday's tea is not drunk.

Yesterday's tea is easily polluted by pathogenic bacteria, and the complex components in the tea water are likely to change, making it a possible cause of gastrointestinal diseases. This was what we were told when young, which seems true after all.

The seasons differ.

Drink flower tea in spring, green tea in summer, green tea in autumn and red tea in winter. Drinking flower tea in spring can dispel the cold evil that accumulates in the human body over the winter and promote the generation of yang energy in the human body.

The green tea has a bitter, cold taste. In the summer season, it is good to drink green tea which can clear heat, dissipate summer heat, detoxify and quench thirst, and strengthen heart. The blue tea is neither cold nor hot. In the autumn season, drinking blue tea can eliminate the residual heat in the body and restore body fluid.

Drinking red tea in winter is most suitable. Red tea has a sweet flavor and is warm in nature, rich in protein, can help with digestion and nourish the body to make people strong.

Drinking tea in moderation.

Although tea contains a variety of vitamins and amino acids, it has some effects on relieving oiliness, enhancing neural excitability and helping digestion and diuresis. However, drinking too much is not good for everyone.

Generally speaking, it is suitable to drink tea one to two times a day and 2-3 grams of tea leaves per time. People with neurasthenia, insomnia, hyperthyroidism, tuberculosis, heart disease, stomach disease, ulcers of the intestines are not suitable for drinking tea. Breastfeeding women and pregnant women and infants are also not advisable to drink tea.
