Let's take a look at what we need to pay attention to when drinking tea:
Don't drink tea immediately after dinner. People are used to drinking tea during and after meals, thinking that it can eliminate fat and won't get bored. However, when drinking tea during and after meals, tannic acid in tea will solidify protein in food into particles, which is difficult to digest and absorb, and will affect the absorption of various nutrients by human body over time, which will easily lead to indigestion and the lack of certain nutrients.
Tea should be light. Tea contains tannic acid, which can react with iron in food to form new insoluble substances. When people drink a lot of strong tea, the combination of tannic acid and iron will be more active, which will bring obstacles to the absorption of iron. At the same time, tannic acid can also combine with protein in food to produce a large number of tannic acid proteins, which are difficult to digest and absorb, and have a certain impact on digestion and absorption. So it is right to drink tea in moderation.
Don't make tea with boiling water. Everyone is used to making tea with boiling water. In fact, this is also wrong. The best temperature for making tea is about 80 degrees water, which will not destroy the beneficial components such as vitamins in tea, and the content of tannic acid precipitation is also small, which has little effect on iron absorption and nutrient digestion. In addition, the tea soaked in boiling water will also affect the taste and aroma, and the tea color is easy to turn black and opaque. So pour boiling water into the thermos 1~2 hours before making tea.
Don't drink tea before going to bed. Tea contains caffeine, theophylline and theobromine. , has a strong role in exciting the brain. If you drink too much tea before going to bed, it will be difficult to fall asleep and the number of urination will increase. It is easy to affect the quality of sleep and even lead to insomnia.
Don't drink overnight tea. Overnight tea is easy to be polluted by pathogenic organisms because it has been put on hold for too long, and the complex components in tea are also easy to change. Drinking overnight tea can lead to gastrointestinal diseases. When I was a child, I was always taught that "drinking tea every night and having diarrhea" seems to have its own reasons.
Do not take medicine with tea. Some people, especially those who love tea, will choose to send medicine with tea. I don't know that tannins in tea can be combined with drugs to precipitate, which will change the medicinal properties, hinder absorption and affect the efficacy. Therefore, the medicine should be taken with boiled water. This is also a daily "tea antidote". It seems that the old saying makes sense.
Don't use tea to hangover "Drinking strong tea can hangover" seems to be a well-known hangover remedy, but it is actually wrong. Medical research shows that alcohol stimulates the cardiovascular system greatly, and a large amount of liquid entering blood vessels will increase the burden on the heart itself. Strong tea can also excite the heart. Drinking and drinking tea is undoubtedly a double burden to the heart.
Different kinds of tea have different functions, such as anti-oxidation and radiation protection of green tea, slimming of black tea, nourishing stomach and warming body of black tea, refreshing and nourishing qi of scented tea. Different tea leaves have different production methods, different nutrients and different functions, so we can't generalize them. You need to be on call and drink on time.
