Pay attention to these 4 points when drinking tea!

1. Don't drink hot tea

Drinking tea with high temperature may burn esophageal mucosa and increase the risk of esophageal and gastric cancer.

Li Shujun, chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology, Beijing Tsinghua Chang Geng Hospital, said in an interview with the Health Times in 2019 that the surface of the esophagus is covered with delicate mucous membranes, and the temperature of food has a great impact on it: 10 ℃ ～ 40 ℃ is the most suitable; 50 ℃ ～ 60 Barely tolerate; above 65 ° C, it can cause burns. Don't think that the temperature is very high at 65 ° C, a hot dumpling can exceed this temperature. ⑤

Qian Duoduo, a director of the Capital Health Nutrition Food Society, reminded the 2019 Health Time News: In the tea, especially green tea, tea polyphenols, caffeine, etc. The stimulation of the stomach is easy to hurt the stomach, and it is more likely to cause "drunk tea" such as panic and dizziness. Especially for people who have poor gastrointestinal function, don't drink green tea. ⑥

3. It is best not to drink strong tea

Chen Hong, deputy chief physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Donghu Hospital in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, said in an interview with the Yangtze River Daily in July 2022 that everything must be done, the same is true for drinking tea, drinking light tea to health, and drinking strong tea will cause health.

The gastrointestinal function of the elderly. Drinking a lot of thick tea for a long time can cause gastric discomfort, cause gastric juice to dilute, reduce the concentration of gastric juice, so that gastric juice cannot digest food normally, thereby causing symptoms such as indigestion, diarrhea, abdominal pain, etc. Essence Deep tea contains caffeine. Drinking strong tea can cause dizziness and headache, aggravate the burden on the heart, cause uncomfortable symptoms such as chest tightness and palpitations, and increase blood pressure. The tannic acid in the tea can not only be combined with iron, but also combine with the protein in the food to generate a non -digestible absorption of tannic acid protein, which leads to constipation. For the elderly with constipation, drinking a strong tea party Make constipation more serious. The combination of tannic acid in tea and iron will make the iron in foods not easily absorbed and discharge in vitro and cause anemia. ⑦

4. Drink tea after no meal

Zhang Xiaoyan, chief physician of the Nutrition Department of Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province, said in the 2017 Health Report, saying that it is not advisable to drink tea immediately after meals. It is better to drink tea after 1 hour after meals. Because tannic acid in tea enters the gastrointestinal tract, it will inhibit the secretion of gastric and intestinal fluid, which can easily cause indigestion. Moreover, tannic acid and protein combine with a convergent tannic acid protein, which weakens intestinal peristalsis and easily leads to dry stool. More importantly, tea will hinder the body's absorption of iron.
