Tea is the favorite drink of the majority of the population. It is used instead of breakfast, in order to quench thirst, dull the feeling of hunger, or during a conversation in pleasant company. But more recently, there has been an opinion that drinking a lot of tea is harmful.
Drink abuse can negatively affect the work of all internal organs, which in any case will affect the state of health, but the whole point is this:
- almost all types of tea contain caffeine, of course, not in such quantities as in coffee, nevertheless, an increase in blood pressure, insomnia, nervousness - all these are signs that indicate an excessive passion for tea;
- the composition of the tea leaf contains a substance called tannin, not only is it toxic, but also negatively affects the digestive process;
- despite the obvious benefits of green tea, its excess is also harmful, because the concentration of fluoride is very high in the drink, which adversely affects the skeletal system of the human body, and with prolonged and regular use of tea, it can cause poisoning;
- tea of any kind is a powerful diuretic, which means that abuse of the drink can lead to dehydration. Uric acid, which remains in the joints and is not excreted with fluid, can accumulate and can subsequently lead to the development of arthritis;
- women who feel unwell before critical days should limit the use of tea, as its excess can lead to increased symptoms and signs of PMS;
- a large amount of strongly brewed tea, consumed daily, can cause headaches, sleep disturbances, excessive activity, or vice versa lethargy;
- as you know, for the proper functioning of the body, a sufficient amount of water is needed, but since tea consists of boiled water, it not only does not replenish the water balance, but also promotes the utilization of existing fluids.
Of course, no one calls to stop drinking tea altogether, but you only need to choose a high-quality drink, brew it daily and give up tea bags, which are usually made from tea waste.
