Tea is the favorite drink of most people. It invigorates you in the morning, warms you up on a cold day, or helps you calm down.

It is important to remember that you definitely shouldn’t overdo it, otherwise you risk encountering health problems.

Excessive consumption of this drink leads to imbalance in the functioning of the stomach and intestines. Discomfort and painful sensations may occur.

Endocrinologist Yulia Vereina told Gazeta.Ru about this.

She also noted that tea helps remove water from the body rather than replenishing it. Therefore, it can worsen your health and there is a risk of dehydration.

In addition, you should not overdo it with the drink in the evening, as it contains caffeine, which can cause insomnia.

Vereina added that you shouldn’t wash down vitamins and tablets with tea.

The thing is that the drink makes them ineffective.
