Drink tea in summer, can these "old words" listen?

In summer, many people are used to cooking a pot of tea to fight against the summer. When it comes to drinking tea, there are many "old words". For example, "Tea can drink", "milk and tea can not drink together", "drinking tea can cause anemia", etc. Is there any reason to say? In this issue, Ruan Guangfeng, director of the Science and Technology Communication Department and Associate Research Librarian of the Science and Technology Communication Center of the Science and Technology Information Exchange Center, will come to you one by one.

Can drinking tea hangover?

Wake up with drinking tea may be just a "illusion". Drinking tea after drinking may make people feel more comfortable, but drinking tea does not have special help for hangover. After drinking, alcohol is first metabolized into acetaldehyde in the human body, and further metabolism is acetic acid, and the body is excreted through urine. If you drink too much or alcohol metabolism, acetaldehyde can be accumulated in the body, which will cause drunk symptoms such as headache, dizziness, irritability, and palpitations. Therefore, the key to hangover is to accelerate alcohol metabolism and discharge in vitro. For ordinary people, drinking plenty of water can help alcohol out of the body faster, that is, do not mistake the contribution of drinking water on the tea head. Moreover, drinking tea may not be as drinking water, and the caffeine in tea may have the risk of dehydration, but exacerbate the pain of drunk.

Can milk and tea drink together?

It is said that "milk and tea can drink kidney stones together, because tea contains oxalic acid, which is easy to combine with calcium in milk to generate calcium oxalic acid. Calcium oxalate is not easily absorbed by the human body. If you drink it for a long time, it will cause kidney stones."

Ruan Guangfeng said that if this is the case, I am afraid that the milk tea will stand up to protest. In fact, milk and tea can drink together. On the one hand, when drinking tea everyday, the amount of tea used each time is not large, and there are very few oxalic acid that can be made. Calcium of calcium formation also occurs in the intestine, not in the kidneys.

Will drinking tea cause anemia?

This is actually a rumor. The reason why there is such a statement is that a common reason is that tea contains a large amount of tannins. This substance and iron in the food form an insoluble substance, which will hinder the human body from iron against iron. The absorption leads to iron deficiency anemia. In fact, this is only theoretical reasoning, and there is a big gap with actual life. From the current research, drinking tea will not have a great impact on the absorption of iron in daily diet, and it will not cause human anemia.

Ruan Guangfeng suggested that if consumers are still worried about drinking tea and cause anemia, they can reasonably choose to drink tea. It is best to drink tea 1 hour after meals; balanced diet, pay attention to diversification of food, eat more fruits and vegetables, add some meat, add blood red Sin iron and vitamin C increase the total amount and absorption rate of iron, which can prevent anemia well.
