According to Life Times, tea contains caffeine, theophylline and theobromine, which can stimulate gastric acid secretion. Ruihua Shi, director of the Department of Gastroenterology, Zhong Da Hospital affiliated to Southeast University, said in an interview with Health Times that gastric acid can stimulate the human body to secrete a variety of enzymes, hormones and neurotransmitters related to digestion, thus contributing to food digestion. So, after drinking tea, you will be hungry faster.

Pay attention to drinking tea

First, it is not advisable to drink tea on an empty stomach before meals. Because drinking tea on an empty stomach before meals will dilute gastric juice and affect its secretion, which is not conducive to food digestion.

Second, it is not advisable to drink tea immediately after meals. If you drink tea immediately after meals, the tea polyphenols contained in tea can easily react with iron and protein in food, thus affecting the absorption of iron and protein by human body. According to Life Times, the most reasonable time for drinking tea should be half an hour after meals.

Third, don't drink tea before going to bed. Caffeine contained in tea has the function of exciting the central nervous system, and drinking tea before going to bed will make it difficult for people to fall asleep; In addition, tea is also a diuretic, coupled with a large amount of water intake when drinking tea, drinking tea before going to bed will also lead to an increase in the number of trips to the toilet at night, thus affecting the quality of sleep.
