1, drinking tea during menstruation is easy to aggravate the loss of iron. Usually, there is a certain amount of iron loss every day. But for women, with the massive loss of blood during menstruation, iron will be lost more than usual. If you drink tea again during this period, it will undoubtedly aggravate the loss of iron. Because tea is rich in tannic acid, it will combine with iron molecules in food to form a precipitate, which will hinder the absorption of iron by intestinal mucosa. The stronger the tea, The lower the body's absorption of iron, therefore, try not to drink tea during menstruation, and pay special attention to eating some foods rich in iron in diet in order to supplement iron.
2. Drinking tea during menstruation is easy to aggravate constipation symptoms. Because of the secretion of luteinizing hormone, some women will be accompanied by constipation during menstruation. Tannic acid contained in tea can slow down intestinal peristalsis, so the stool will stay in the intestine.
3. Drinking tea during menstruation is easy to aggravate menstrual syndrome such as dysmenorrhea, headache, backache, breast swelling pain, mental stress, etc. Due to the change of nerve secretion regulation, women will be accompanied by some symptoms.
