Who is not suitable for drinking tea?
Poor blood
Tannic acid in tea can combine with iron to form insoluble final compounds, so that the body can not get enough iron source, so anemia patients should not drink tea.
neurosism
Caffeine in tea can excite the nerve center. Although theanine has a calming effect, the two effects can be offset. But for neurasthenia patients, drinking strong tea, especially in the afternoon and evening, will cause insomnia and aggravate the condition. You can drink tea once in the morning and once in the afternoon during the day. It is better to drink scented tea in the morning, green tea in the afternoon and no tea at night.
Gastrointestinal ulcer
Tea is a stimulator of gastric acid secretion. Drinking tea will increase the secretion of gastric acid, increase the stimulation to the ulcer surface, aggravate the discomfort of the stomach, and easily lead to symptoms such as acid reflux and heartburn. But for mild patients, drinking black tea with sugar and milk is helpful to diminish inflammation and protect gastric mucosa, and is also helpful to ulcer healing. Drinking tea can also block the synthesis of nitroso compounds in the body and prevent precancerous mutation.
coronary heart patient
Caffeine and theophylline in tea are stimulants, which can enhance the heart function. Drinking a lot of strong tea will make your heart beat faster. Under normal circumstances, it is no problem for patients with coronary heart disease to drink light tea. However, if you drink a lot of strong tea, plus external stimuli, it will increase the probability of cardiovascular accidents.
hypertensive
Patients with hypertension should not drink strong tea. If hypertensive patients drink too much strong tea, their blood pressure will rise due to the exciting effect of caffeine, which is not conducive to health. It is suggested to pour out the tea soup first, so as to avoid most of the extracted caffeine.
