Many people like to drink some tea after a big meal, which is not good for their health. A large amount of tannic acid in tea will combine with protein to produce tannic acid protein, which has astringent effect and weakens intestinal peristalsis, thus prolonging the retention time of food residues in the intestine and leading to dry stool. Therefore, it is best not to drink tea after a full meal.
Tea has two opposite effects.
Tea has both refreshing and nourishing effects. The refreshing function can make the brain awake and flexible, while the nourishing function can inhibit and soothe the nerves. What is the reason why the same tea can cause these two opposite effects?
When the tea leaves have just been soaked for about 3 minutes, most of the caffeine in the tea leaves has dissolved into the tea leaves. At this time, tea has obvious refreshing effect and makes people excited. Later, tannic acid in tea gradually dissolved into tea, which counteracted the effect of caffeine and made people less likely to have obvious physiological excitement.
So the function of tea has two sides. Some people are afraid to drink tea at night for fear of falling asleep. In fact, as long as you pour out the tea that has just been brewed for about 3 minutes, and then continue to brew it with boiling water, the refreshing effect will not be so obvious.
