Tea is usually drunk after meals or between main meals.
For many, it is already a tradition - a cup of tea after breakfast, lunch or dinner. It is believed that the drink promotes digestion and is a source of nutrients. But is everything as good as many people think?
Let's find out whether it is possible to drink tea after eating and whether there are any disadvantages to this seemingly innocent habit.
Why not?
Doctors believe that a cup of tea after a meal does not promote good digestion.
The body's absorption of iron is impaired by the tannins contained in tea.
As a result, problems may arise not only with digestion, but also with health in general.
Iron deficiency can cause anemia, muscle problems, chronic fatigue, and headaches.
Children and pregnant women should be especially careful.
How to drink tea correctly
Tea will not cause harm to health if you wait thirty minutes after eating.
During this time, the body will absorb the necessary vitamins and microelements.
In addition, it is recommended to drink green tea or herbal tea after meals.
Green tea contains fewer tannins, and herbal infusions improve digestion and promote better absorption of nutrients.
