Notes on drinking tea:

1. Do not drink tea immediately after a meal. People are used to drinking tea during and after meals. They think it can eliminate fat and get rid of greasiness.

Such particles are difficult to digest and absorb. Over time, they will affect the body's absorption of various nutrients and easily cause indigestion and the lack of certain nutrients.

2 Drink tea lightly. Tea contains tannic acid, which can react with iron in food to form new substances that are difficult to dissolve. When the human body drinks a large amount of strong tea, the combination of tannic acid and iron will become more active, causing obstacles to the body's absorption of iron. At the same time, tannic acid can also combine with protein in food to form a lumpy, difficult-to-digest The absorbed tannic acid protein also has a certain impact on digestion and absorption. So it’s only right to drink tea in moderation.

3 Don’t use boiling water to make tea. Everyone is accustomed to using boiling water to make tea. In fact, this is wrong. The best temperature for making tea is water of about 80 degrees. This will not destroy the vitamins and other beneficial components in the tea, and the content of tannic acid precipitation is also small, which will not have a great impact on iron absorption and nutrient digestion. In addition, tea soaked in boiling water will also affect the taste and aroma, and the tea color will easily turn black and opaque. Therefore, you should pour boiling water into a thermos bottle and let it sit for 1 to 2 hours before making tea, and drink it as you make it.

6 Do not take medicine with tea. Some people, especially those who love tea, will choose to use tea to take medicine. However, they do not know that the tannins in tea can combine with medicine and precipitate, which will change the properties of the medicine and hinder absorption. , affects the efficacy of the medicine, so you should take the medicine with boiled water.

7 Don’t use tea to relieve hangover. “Drinking strong tea can relieve hangover” seems to be a well-known cure for hangover. In fact, this is wrong. Medical research shows that alcohol is very stimulating to the cardiovascular system. A large amount of liquid entering the blood vessels will increase the burden on the heart. Strong tea also has the effect of exciting the heart. Drinking alcohol and tea together is undoubtedly a double burden on the heart.
