Too dangerous to drink tea immediately after meals

Many people used to the meal, a cup of tea at once, that this would help promote digestion. In fact, this is not a good habit, it will not only cause indigestion, but also may increase the risk of suffering from stones, so folk have "equal tea after dinner drink poison" argument. So in the end this is why?

"Tea contains tannic acid and theophylline, two substances will affect the human body to digest food." In an interview with "Life Times" interview, the Tianjin Institute of Pharmaceutical Research fellow Li Hong-chu said, gastric and intestinal fluid, the body will digest food indispensable, but when tannic acid into the gastrointestinal tract, inhibits their secretion, leading to indigestion. In addition, the tannic acid would work with meat, eggs, soy products, dairy produce and other food proteins coagulate to form a difficult to digest the tannin protein coagulum. Need to remind that if the food we eat which contain metals such as iron, magnesium, tannic acid may also react with them, over many years may form stones.

In addition, the acidic gastric acid, and alkaline tea, tea immediately after a meal, theophylline not only inhibit gastric acid secretion, gastric acid will be diluted, affecting the secretion of gastric acid in the protease, which digest the impact. The experiments also show that 15 grams of tea after dinner drink of tea brewing, food will reduce iron absorption by 50%. Tea, the higher the concentration, the greater the harm the body.

Go to a restaurant in the food on the table, people also forget to cup of tea. Li Hong Zhu recalled that at best a small cup of tea before meals. If you drink, chrysanthemum tea, weak tea should be, but remember not to drink tea during a meal, which is more prone to indigestion.

Then after dinner, we should drink? Experts say water is the best after dinner drinks, you can clean mouth and do not affect digestion, more than half an hour after dinner drink, a number of weak tea.
