Tea remains one of the most popular beverages in the world, second only to water. It is valued for its ability to gently tone the body, providing a longer-lasting effect of vivacity compared to coffee. This is reported by U-news .
Studies show that tea contains antioxidants, can help with weight control, and support metabolism. However, experts emphasize that despite the benefits, there are conditions and diseases in which it is better to avoid or significantly limit the consumption of the drink.
Allergic reactions and individual intolerance
Herbal teas require special caution. People prone to allergies should avoid herbal teas, as plant components can act as strong allergens. Active substances in herbs can cause unpredictable reactions in the body - from rashes to more serious manifestations.
Hypertension and sleep disorders
Strong tea contains caffeine and theine, which stimulate the nervous system. In people with high blood pressure, this can provoke sharp jumps in indicators. Doctors advise hypertensive patients to either completely abandon strong tea, or drink it in a weak concentration and infrequently.
Tea is also undesirable for people with insomnia or other sleep disorders. The stimulating effect can aggravate problems with falling asleep. In such cases, it is recommended to drink the drink only in the morning or replace it with caffeine-free alternatives.
Pregnancy
During pregnancy, women need to strictly control their caffeine intake. Excessive amounts can negatively affect the development of the fetus. Doctors advise minimizing the consumption of strong tea or completely abandoning it during this period.
Gastrointestinal tract diseases
Tea stimulates the secretion of gastric juice. In case of gastritis with high acidity, peptic ulcer or other pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract, this can cause irritation of the mucous membrane and deterioration of well-being. In the presence of chronic problems with the gastrointestinal tract, doctors recommend coordinating the diet with a specialist.
Despite its popularity and proven benefits, tea is not a universal drink for everyone. Before regular consumption, especially if you have chronic diseases, you should consult a doctor.
