Experts pointed out that in today's soaring incidence of chronic diseases, excessive energy intake is considered to be one of the direct reasons for this result. For office workers, adding sugar to tea is beneficial to relieve stress, increase glucose lost in mental work, keep blood sugar stable, and replenish energy needed for work when there is occasional stress or lack of energy when staying up late. However, if sweetened tea is used as a general drink in large quantities, its effect is comparable to that of sweet drinks, which is harmful to human health.
How to drink tea is healthy?
It is not correct to drink tea on an empty stomach before, after or during meals. Drinking tea on an empty stomach will dilute gastric juice, reduce digestive function, increase water absorption rate, and lead to a large number of bad components in tea entering the blood, causing dizziness, palpitation, weakness of hands and feet and other symptoms.
Drinking tea with meals will affect digestion. Tea polyphenols in tea have complexed with iron and protein in food, thus affecting the absorption of iron and protein by human body. Drinking tea immediately after meals will affect the digestion and absorption of food and increase the burden on the stomach and liver. The correct way is to drink tea at least half an hour after meals at 1 hour. At this time, the food in the stomach has been digested almost, and drinking some tea can relieve greasy and soothe the stomach.
