While tea is low in sugar, it contains amino acids, vitamins, tea polyphenols and other health ingredients, which are quite beneficial to the human body. However, everything has two sides, the so-called extreme of things must be reversed, if you drink tea improperly, it will also have a bad impact on the body.
Kidney protection to take more water, drinking tea can reduce the occurrence of kidney stones, I believe many tea friends have heard, but the wrong way to drink tea not only can not protect the kidney, but hurt the kidney, causing certain damage to the kidney. If you still have the following conditions, it is recommended that you avoid them as much as possible in the future to avoid damage to your health.
(1) Drinking alcohol while drinking tea can hurt the kidneys
Some people think that drinking strong tea after drinking alcohol has a "sobering" effect, which is a misunderstanding. Drinking tea alone will not hurt the kidneys, but if you drink tea while drinking, or use strong tea to decoct, it is possible to hurt the kidneys.
Because after alcohol enters the liver, it is broken down into water and carbon dioxide by the action of enzymes, and excreted by the kidneys. While theophylline has a diuretic effect, the theophylline contained in tea, it will make acetaldehyde that has not yet been decomposed enter the kidneys prematurely, and acetaldehyde has a great damaging effect on the kidneys.
(2) Excessive tea drinking will hurt the kidneys
According to Professor Tu Youying of the Department of Tea Science of Zhejiang University, "Tea and Health", the amount of tea consumed by adults is usually 5-15 grams of dry tea per day, and the amount of tea after brewing can be controlled at 400-1500ml a day.
Tea contains fluoride, and excessive tea consumption can damage the kidneys. The reason is that the kidneys are the main excretory organs of fluoride, and excessive tea drinking will cause excessive fluoride to trap the kidneys and cause damage.
(3) Drinking tea on an empty stomach hurts the kidneys
Some people are used to drinking tea on an empty stomach just get up in the morning, in fact, tea contains a large amount of caffeine, which has a great stimulating and stimulating effect on the human body, thereby accelerating the heart rate and causing panic, and promoting kidney urination, aggravating the burden of the kidney, and in severe cases, it will harm kidney function and affect physical health.
Therefore, friends who love to drink tea must remember not to drink tea on an empty stomach, you can drink some boiled water before drinking tea.
(4) Often drink strong tea and hurt the kidneys
Tea is rich in oxalic acid, often drinking strong tea can lead to high oxalic acid accumulation, in the urinary tract easy to form calcium oxalate stones, thereby causing kidney stones.
Secondly, drinking too strong tea will make the kidneys urinate frequently, and increase the burden on the kidneys and hurt the kidneys. Therefore, it is better to drink tea daily or weak tea, which is more beneficial to the body.
As the saying goes, frozen three feet, not a day of cold, often ignore these small details, often cause greater harm, for our health, but also hope that everyone try to avoid these misunderstandings, develop good tea drinking habits.
Daily kidney nourishment methods

Sleep is very important for the kidneys, so make it a habit to go to bed early and get up early.

You can also eat more warm spicy vegetables to warm up the yang, such as leeks, garlic, onions, ginger, kohlrabi, green onions, etc.
In addition, cold food or drinks can damage the yang, and should be avoided as much as possible in the diet. In winter, we should also pay attention to cold and warmth to avoid exhausting the yuan yang hidden in the kidneys.
