There are many elderly people around who love to drink tea, and people who pay attention to it will buy a set of devices, drink a few cups when they are idle, and those who are not exquisite rely on a glass to take it wherever they go. However, some people say that when you are old, don't drink more tea, urine hurts the kidneys, and some people say that drinking tea and anti-cancer health, it is because of age, so you have to drink more, which one is right?
Let's take a look at two "negative textbooks" first.
Love to drink strong tea, two-thirds of the tea cup is tea leaves, drink kidney stones
Mr. Jin is a senior tea drinker, from more than ten years ago insisted on drinking tea every day, and drinking strong tea, love is the pure bitter taste of tea, if the tea leaves are put a little less, Mr. Jin feels too weak, so every time will put a lot of tea. I didn't expect that this habit of his would cause him trouble years later.
One day Mr. Jin felt that his waist was very painful, the pain was not good for a long time, he bought some medicine to eat, but still did not alleviate, there was no way but to see a doctor, this look frightened, his two kidneys have stones, and the size is not small, can only be taken out surgically. After treatment, Mr. Jin's kidneys finally recovered, and he also reflected on his habit of drinking strong tea.
Love to drink strong tea, use 50 grams of tea a day, drink tea iron deficiency anemia
Uncle Wang is a person who pays attention to health, he loves to drink some tea when he has nothing to do, and then walks around, he has not had any serious illness, but he suddenly fainted in the community, and was sent to the hospital by well-wishers, which turned out to be anemia. The reason for anemia is that I love to drink strong tea.
It is reported that Uncle Wang loves to drink strong tea, tea is used very quickly, a bag of tea is quickly drunk, each brewed tea is particularly strong, the average person is not used to drinking, but Uncle Wang thinks that health, so that there is a strong beneficial substance. Knowing that he fainted and suffered from anemia, he realized that he had been drinking the wrong drink all along and deeply regretted it.
Both patients have a common feature, that is, drinking strong tea, and there are different conditions, one is kidney stones, the other is anemia. Doctors explain that there are more oxalic acid and tannic acid in tea, which will increase the risk of stone formation and also affect the absorption of iron. The experience of the two patients tells us that improper tea drinking will also bring harm to the body, and we should try to avoid it.
Can I still drink tea? Do you want to avoid it?

People who love to drink tea, pay attention to the "three do not drink"

Buy a small amount of tea to lick, if the sweetness is very heavy, and there is a feeling of oil, it is crisp to the touch, may be bought sugar fried tea.
Tea with added coloring
Yes, you read it right, tea may also add pigment, mainly to make the tea look good, not easy to oxidize, this tea is generally produced in small workshops, want to shoddy, we must polish the eyes.
The price of tea is high and low, do not buy bad quality tea for cheap, the health impact is great. Some people say that people who drink tea are fake exquisite and poor, and they usually drink boiled water, isn't it also quite healthy?
So, long-term tea drinking VS long-term drinking boiled water, which one is better?
In fact, drinking tea and drinking water, the original intention is to replenish water, as long as you can meet the amount of water for a day, which one can be drunk, but because the composition of tea is more complicated, so drinking the wrong easy to bring trouble, such as too high temperature burn mucous membranes, too high concentration damage to the kidneys, drinking excessively affecting sleep and so on.

And the water is very white, you can add other things in it, such as chrysanthemums, goji berries, roses, etc., bringing different effects.
There are many types of tea, before drinking, you need to understand the relevant knowledge, see if it is not suitable for your own physique, to prevent damage to the spleen and stomach, if there is a urinary infection problem, it is better to drink some tea appropriately, there is a certain anti-inflammatory effect, you can also urinate more, promote the recovery of the disease.
In general, boiled water is more cost-effective, usually very convenient to drink, and drinking tea needs to be brewed, and there are many exquisite, may not be so convenient. Both drinks are very good, choose according to your preferences. However, boiled water is irreplaceable, people who love to drink strong tea should not forget to drink water to dilute the oxalic acid and tannic acid in the body to prevent damage to the kidneys.
