One should drink tea one or two hours after having a meal.
Consumption of tea on an empty stomach may lead to digestion issues.
Most people have the habit of consuming tea as soon as they wake up. Do you know consumption of tea on an empty stomach might have adverse effects? It may cause harm to your body. According to Ayurvedic doctor Sharbari Inamdar, the consumption of tea or coffee on an empty stomach may lead to digestion issues. Experts suggest if you must drink tea in the morning, do so after 1 to 2 hours of waking up. As tea is acidic in nature, it may disrupt the acidic balance in the body, causing indigestion or acidity. Some people may also feel bloated after consuming tea with milk in the morning. Tea contains a compound named theophylline that leads to dehydrating effects and may also cause constipation. The bacteria in the mouth usually break down the sugar, which also increases the acidic level of the mouth and leads to tooth decay.
According to doctors, consume tea one or two hours after having a meal. Some people tend to consume coffee before working out, as it fills them up with energy and also helps burn extra calories. It is also advised not to consume coffee before going to bed, as it might disrupt the sleep cycle. Consuming tea in the evening along with some snacks is also not recommended. Excessive consumption of tea may lead to severe health issues like iron deficiency, increased anxiety or stress, a poor sleep cycle, heartburn, and other complications. It is advised to intake a moderate amount of tea or coffee on a regular basis, as drinking in excess has adverse side effects.
Experts also suggest consuming some healthy drinks in the morning, like lemon juice with honey or amla juice, will be better than having tea. Health drinks are known for boosting immunity as well.
Alternatively, you can consume lukewarm water with a half teaspoon of flax seed powder; this will help you improve your metabolism.
