Drinking strong tea often may lead to constipation. Tea polyphenols in tea have a strong astringent taste on gastrointestinal mucosa. Strong tea has a high content of tea polyphenols and a stronger astringency, which will slow down the contraction of the stomach and the peristalsis of the intestine, thus affecting the digestion and absorption of food and easily causing dry stool and even constipation.
In addition, drinking a lot of tea will also cause the loss of various nutrients. Nutrition experts found that modern malnutrition is not eating badly, but losing the balance of nutrition. Among them, tea is one of the factors that cause nutritional imbalance. Because drinking too much tea will increase urine output and cause the loss of important nutrients such as magnesium, potassium and B vitamins.
Drinking strong tea will promote excessive gastric acid secretion. Because alkaloids in tea can reduce the activity of phosphodiesterase, phosphodiesterase can inhibit gastric parietal cells from secreting gastric acid, which makes gastric parietal cells secrete a lot of gastric acid, and it is easy to form gastrointestinal ulcers or make the existing ulcer surface difficult to heal over time.
