The postulate that everything is good in moderation is perfectly applicable to tea. Moderate consumption of strong tea will only benefit your health, but when the balance is disturbed, problems cannot be avoided. The caffeine and tannin found in tea are useful only in small amounts, and their excess leads to many ailments.
Side effects of drinking strong tea
This very strong tea contains caffeine and tannin, which in large quantities can cause insomnia and headaches. For the average person, the amount of caffeine consumed should not exceed 300 mg per day. Tannin is categorized as an anti-nutrient. This means that it interferes with the penetration of certain nutrients into the body, for example, calcium. That is why it is useful to add a little milk to tea so that the calcium contained in it has time to enter the body. On the other hand, milk contains casein, which robs the beneficial antioxidants in tea of their potency.
One or two cups of strong tea a day won't hurt. But if you become addicted to strong tea, then this amount is no longer enough. And then the harm from it is much greater than the benefit.
Much depends on the quality of the tea. Some manufacturers deliberately neglect the norms and add special impurities to tea that color the tea leaves and make it stronger. And such "strong" tea is especially harmful. You can tell the difference between colored tea and natural tea by dipping the bag in cold water. If tea colors the water, then it contains harmful colorants.
Very strong tea in large quantities affects the color of the skin, and it turns yellow.
A large amount of strong tea can get drunk. In this case, headache, nausea, dizziness, abdominal pain occur, the surrounding objects are perceived as blurred, coordination of movements is impaired. The reason for this is that tea regulates blood sugar levels. Consuming strong tea in moderation can prevent diabetes. Too much strong tea forces the body to conserve and limit sugar, and you start to miss it.
In this case, you should stop drinking tea and eat or drink anything to increase your sugar level. This can be ice cream, condensed milk, sweet biscuits, or bread and butter.
If you are a strong tea lover and like to drink it often, it is better to stick to one type of tea and make sure that the amount of tea leaves brewed does not exceed 20 g per day.
Better to drink weak tea. It is much healthier than strong in the long run.
