Improper intake tea may even harm the body.
For many people, the tea in the morning is an essential part of Breakfast and of a certain ritual. I don’t say that tea with sweet at night almost mandatory.
But not many know the culture of drinking this Eastern drink. And improper intake tea may even harm the body. Suggest you continue to learn what not to do with the tea in any case.
Drinking tea on an empty stomach
The use of tea causes suppression of gastric acid secretion and can reduce the overall content of acid and bile in the stomach. Tea can also affect the body’s absorption of protein and other nutrients. Drinking tea on an empty stomach will stimulate the gastric mucosa, ultimately leading to loss of appetite.
Drinking too hot tea
A drink with too high temperature, will irritate and burn the throat, esophagus and stomach lining. Abuse of too hot tea can lead to scarring. Experts note that the temperature of the tea should not exceed 56 degrees.
To drink strong tea
Perezaluzhenie tea is able to increase its content of caffeine, which may further affect our health. Headaches, insomnia, dehydration, digestive problems — all these can be done by caffeine. So try to follow the recommended dosage on the tea kettle, and also to follow brewing.
Too long to brew the tea
If tea is brewed too long, regardless of the temperature of the water it will be too strong, sometimes even bitterly. Experts believe this tea undrinkable, as it destroyed the vitamins, antioxidants and amino acids, and is the result not only not very tasty, but not very wholesome beverage.
To brew the tea too many times
Most of the good leaf tea can be brewed only 3 or 4 times, otherwise we risk to get tasteless and not fragrant drink. Flavored teas at all, you should brew only 1 or 2 times. The exceptions are highly fermented Puer and “sustainable” Oolong tea can be brewed 5-6 times.
Drink large amounts of tea before a meal
Excessive consumption of the tea before eating can not only affect our ability to distinguish tastes, making food tasteless, but also to prevent the digestion of protein in the body. So try next time to pause for 20-30 minutes before eating, and your digestion will thank you.
Drinking tea immediately after a meal
All the same tannins in tea are associated with protein and iron, contained in food, preventing their absorption by the body. In order to avoid these negative consequences, it is recommended to go to the tea not earlier than half an hour after a meal.
To wash down medicine tea
The fact is that contained in tea tannins can cause problems, absorbing any medications, not allowing them to be absorbed by the body. Laminating, tannins form tannin which drugs produce sediment, so it is wise to wash them down with plain water.
To drink yesterday’s tea
If you accidentally left your tea “overnight” in the morning without any hesitation, just pour it. Such tea not only lost all his benefits but also has become a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi that can be very dangerous for our body. So it makes sense to take it a rule to only drink freshly brewed tea.
