The vast majority of tea lovers, and especially those who don’t mind brewing tea in bags, are making a mistake.
What we are talking about is the habit of squeezing the contents of a tea bag to the bottom after removing it from the cup.
Why you shouldn’t squeeze the contents of a tea bag after brewing, reports the portal “ TUT News ”.
It turns out that this seemingly innocent habit is fraught with health problems.
According to biologists, when you squeeze the remaining tea leaves from the tea bag into your cup, a large amount of tannins contained in the tea leaves enters your body.
Within normal limits, tannins are beneficial to health.
They improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, have a positive effect on blood vessels, and help remove toxins from the body.
But to achieve this effect, you don't need to drink strong tea in large quantities. The minimal content of tannins copes with the task.
And there are a lot of them in a tea bag, and by squeezing it, a person increases the concentration of tannins.
Because of this, the taste of the tea changes, it becomes more bitter.
And because of this habit, the enamel of the teeth turns yellow.
The material from which the bag itself is made cannot be left without harm. It is called a source of micropollution of the body.
