Tea has many products that bring health benefits to the drinker. However, it is only really good when we use it correctly. Here, let's discover 5 mistakes to avoid when drinking tea with Hacoocha.
1/ Do not drink tea directly before or after meals
When drinking tea right before or after a meal, your body is less likely to absorb the iron and protein obtained from the meal. The right time to drink tea is at least half an hour to an hour before and after a meal.
2/ Drinking too hot tea
Believe it or not, drinking hot tea can increase your risk of throat cancer. It will not only adversely affect your throat, but also damage and cause inflammation of the stomach lining.
In addition, you should not steep the tea when the water is boiling. Many people think that will help ripen the tea faster, however, this habit causes high acidity in the stomach. The correct way to make tea is to boil a kettle of water, then put it out on the stove and put the tea in the pot.
3/ Don't drink too thick tea
Tea that is too strong is more likely to cause insomnia and upset stomach. Because tea contains a very high amount of tannin, when regularly loaded with large amounts of tannin, it will lead to a lack of vitamin B, causing gastric mucosal contractions, affecting digestive function. Condensed tea also reduces the absorption of iron in food. Therefore, if you accidentally make it too thick, add a little more boiling water to your cup, to dilute the tea.
4/ Don't take medicine with tea
This is one of the worst tea habits you can get. In tea, there are many nutrients, especially tannins, when combined with medicinal substances, a chemical reaction will occur, making the drug less effective and difficult to absorb. At this time your body will not absorb the medicine well, the medicine may react negatively to the tea and the effect of the medicine may disappear.
5/ Don't drink tea when you're hungry
If you drink tea on an empty stomach, it can also cause more cravings, but while your stomach is empty, the astringency in the tea will enter the lungs and cool the stomach and taste.
In addition, when you are hungry, your mouth will be dry, and when drinking tea, they will affect the saliva in your mouth and make your oral cavity even drier.
