It turns out that not all foods are compatible with tea.

There are some foods that should not be washed down with the popular drink.

A person who ignores these recommendations may face health problems.

Confectionery

Sweets + candies… This is a classic combination that many gourmets have become accustomed to since childhood.

Despite the popularity of this breakfast/dinner option, you should not drink tea with cookies, sweets and cakes.

The thing is that the drink “washes away” the taste: the sweetness is no longer felt as well.

There is a desire to eat more confectionery products. As a result, the risk of excess weight and a number of ailments increases.

Of course, you can add sugar to your tea to still feel the sweetness. But this approach is also bad: there are too many carbohydrates.

Protein products

Due to the proteins, the absorption of antioxidants contained in tea may be improper.

Therefore, you should not drink cottage cheese with a drink.

Also, you should not drink tea if you have recently eaten eggs or something meaty.

Spicy dishes

Drinking tea after eating something spicy can have a negative effect on your stomach.

In addition, a person is unlikely to be able to fully enjoy the taste of the drink: the aroma may be too weak.

Dairy products

The drink may prevent calcium from being absorbed properly.

Therefore, you should not drink tea after drinking something dairy. Also, you should not add milk to tea.

Foods that are high in iron

Tannins and oxalates found in tea can interfere with iron absorption.

Drinking tea with nuts or beans is not a good idea.
