Tea is a popular drink loved by millions of people around the world, but there are groups that are prohibited from consuming it after breaking the fast in Ramadan, as it is a wrong eating habit that carries a lot of harm to them, and may lead to the destruction of stomach cells without realizing the extent of the harm.
Nutrition experts advise postponing tea drinking for 40 minutes after breakfast to avoid the harm it may cause, especially to patients with anemia and gastritis.
Despite the many benefits of tea, there are certain groups that are prohibited from drinking tea, especially immediately after breakfast or on an empty stomach, which are:
People who have difficulty sleeping
If you are sensitive to caffeine, drinking tea may keep you awake at night, reducing sleep quality.
Anemia patients
Black tea contains natural compounds called “tannins and oxalates.” These compounds may affect your body’s ability to absorb iron, which is a mineral necessary for making the protein that carries oxygen in the blood.
People with gastritis
People who suffer from stomach infections or ulcers should avoid excessive consumption of tea, because it leads to an increase in the secretion of acid in the stomach beyond the permissible limit.
Tea has many benefits, including that it contains the compound flavan-3-ols, which contributes to maintaining heart health and lowering blood pressure, cholesterol and sugar, according to the “Healthline” medical website.
Drinking tea may also have protective effects against some types of cancer, especially cancer of the mouth, breast, endometrial lining, and liver. In addition, the polyphenols found in tea, which have antioxidant properties, may absorb free radicals that contribute to the development of cancer and prevent the growth of cancer cells. .
Tea contains the amino acid L-theanine, which affects brain health, improves attention, enhances memory, and increases brain waves that enhance cognition.
Also, consuming a large amount of black tea is associated with a lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease and stroke.
Having a cup of tea can keep you hydrated throughout the day and help regulate body temperature and maintain digestion.
