Is drinking green tea harmful to the stomach?
Drinking green tea has the effects of relieving summer heat and refreshing the brain. As long as you drink it properly, it will not affect your health. But if you drink green tea on an empty stomach or when you are hungry, it will have a certain impact on your stomach.

Drinking green tea on an empty stomach has an effect on the stomach;

1. Because green tea is unfermented, it retains more natural substances in fresh leaves, among which tea polyphenols and caffeine can retain more than 85% of fresh leaves. The ingredients in green tea do have anti-aging, anti-cancer, anti-cancer, sterilization and anti-inflammatory effects, but drinking on an empty stomach will have adverse effects on the human body.

2. Green tea retains more antioxidants, such as tea polyphenols and caffeine. If you drink green tea on an empty stomach or when you are hungry, some active substances in the tea will combine with protein in the stomach, which will stimulate the stomach, easily hurt the stomach and cause stomach trouble.

3. People with gastric and duodenal ulcers who drink green tea on an empty stomach or drink too strong green tea will stimulate gastrointestinal mucosa due to its anticoagulant effect, and may also cause indigestion or constipation. In severe cases, it may slightly increase the probability of gastric bleeding. In addition, drinking green tea on an empty stomach is more likely to cause symptoms such as hand shaking, excitement and even headache.

4, green tea is known as the "national drink", although drinking green tea on an empty stomach has a certain impact on the human body, but green tea contains health benefits such as clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, preventing cancer and preventing radiation. As long as you drink it reasonably and scientifically, there are still many benefits to drinking green tea in summer.

5. Note: Because the contents of natural substances in green tea, especially caffeine and tea polyphenols, are relatively large, these two substances have relatively great stimulation to the stomach. For people with weak constitution and bad stomach, no matter how good the drink is in summer, cold green tea should not be drunk, and female friends during physiological period and pregnancy should not drink green tea.
