Many people often drink brewed tea for several days in order to save money. Is it true that it is harmful to health?
Scientists say that it is safe to brew the drink only once, because the second and third times destroy the natural enzymes, amino acids, and beneficial properties.
The first brewing removes up to 70% of the important components from the tea leaves.
The following make the prepared drink potentially harmful: dangerous substances contained in tea leaves are activated and concentrated in the drink.
On the other hand, tea brewed 2 days ago has healing properties. It is used to rinse the mouth to:
• cure bleeding gums;
• prevent caries;
• strengthen tooth enamel.
Redness on the neck and face is wiped with a cotton pad soaked in tea. This soothes the skin. External use of yesterday's tea is completely safe.
