Many people cannot live without tea in their daily lives. Some people use tea as a supplement and some people use tea instead of water. However, traditional knowledge and experience tell us that eating eggs, beef, mutton, crabs and other foods after drinking tea is prone to conflict and reaction. Cause damage to human health.
However, from the actual situation, it seems that there are not too many restrictions after drinking tea. For example, ethnic groups that mainly eat beef and mutton such as Mongolia and Tibetans like to eat a lot of meat. While drinking tea, they are not only healthy, but also very strong.
If you say that eating these foods after drinking tea affects your health, how can you explain that people who are addicted to tea do not stop drinking tea but are physically strong?
We all know that tea contains tea polyphenols, and tea polyphenols will react with protein, which will mainly interfere with the work of digestive enzymes in the digestive tract. At the same time, tea will dilute gastric acid and further reduce digestion efficiency. It is said that meat, eggs, etc. cannot be eaten , Also for this reason. In short, eating protein foods after drinking tea will have a certain impact on digestion, but the impact is very small, or even negligible. Most people in modern times consume too much or even excessive intake of fats, sugars and other energy-providing substances, and this situation It is better to drink some light tea after a meal, not only to relieve tiredness, but also to avoid sudden weight gain, it is a must.
Various plants generally contain oxalic acid. Compared with tea, green vegetables of the same weight, such as celery, spinach, etc., have oxalic acid content many times that of tea. The daily tea consumption is generally 6-9 grams, while normal people The amount of vegetables for a meal is more than that.
The content of oxalic acid in tea has not reached the point where it is harmful to the body. As long as the normal consumption is not excessive, don't worry too much.
So, what can't be eaten with tea after drinking?
Medicine:
Many tea lovers will use tea soup as water to prepare medicine, but the theophylline in tea will react with some antibiotics, reducing the antibacterial effect and the efficacy of the medicine. Especially people who are sick with fever, take medicine while drinking tea, recover more slowly.
Alcohol:
Some people think that drinking strong tea after alcohol has a "sobering up" effect. This is a misunderstanding. Tea has the effect of exciting the nerve center. Drinking strong tea after drunk will increase the burden on the heart. The diuretic effect of tea causes the toxic aldehydes in alcohol to be excreted from the kidneys before they are decomposed, which is more irritating to the kidneys and endangers health. Therefore, when drinking tea, we still need to drink it in moderation and avoid eating it with medicine and wine, so that we can make better use of the health value of tea without putting additional burden on the body.
