Title: People who love tea should pay attention, don't drink a drop of these 4 kinds of tea, don't think it's a trivial matter, it's too late to suffer
Tea is an indispensable part of Chinese life, it is not only a drink, but also a cultural symbol. However, like many things in life, some things seem ordinary, but they hide hidden dangers that no one knows. For tea lovers, it is important to know about tea because it is related to our health and well-being. In this article, I will introduce you to four teas that you should be cautious about when drinking tea, which may seem harmless, but they are lurking in unexpected dangers.
1. Drinking too much green tea
The story starts when I was in college. At that time, I had a soft spot for green tea and drank several cups every day, thinking that it would be good for my body. However, when I was told during a health check-up that my liver function was abnormal, I realized that it might be due to the excessive amount of green tea I was drinking. After the doctor's explanation, I realized that although the tea polyphenols in green tea are beneficial to cardiovascular health, excessive intake will increase the burden on the liver, lead to abnormal liver function, and even cause liver damage. Therefore, people who love to drink green tea must pay attention to controlling the amount of drinking so as not to harm their health.
2. Buy low-quality Pu'er tea
I remember one time I went on a trip to Yunnan and bought some cheap Pu'er tea as a gift to take home. However, it didn't take long for me to notice that the quality of these teas was not good and even a little moldy. I hurriedly threw away the teas, but the experience made me realize how dangerous it is to buy low-quality Pu-erh tea. Inferior Pu-erh tea may contain harmful substances such as heavy metals and pesticides, and long-term consumption will cause serious damage to the body and even cause chronic poisoning. Therefore, when buying Pu'er tea, you must choose a reputable brand and avoid buying inferior products to avoid adverse effects on the body.
3. Milk tea with too much added sugar
Bubble tea shops have sprung up all over the city streets, and there is a wide variety of mouth-watering milk teas in various flavors. However, many people tend to choose the version with too much added sugar when drinking milk tea in order to have a sweeter and richer taste. I was one of them, and every time I ordered milk tea, I would ask for a larger portion of syrup. However, I was told during a medical check-up that my blood sugar was on the high side, and the doctor advised me to reduce my sugar intake. I realized that too much sugar intake not only leads to obesity and tooth decay, but also increases the risk of diabetes. Therefore, when drinking milk tea, it is necessary to control the amount of sugar added and choose a low-sugar or sugar-free version to protect your health.
4. Over-boiled black tea
Making a pot of black tea at home is my favorite on the weekend. However, I once made the mistake of boiling the tea for too long. Once, I forgot the tea in the pot because I was busy with other things, and I ended up boiling it for hours. When I drank this pot of tea, I immediately felt a bitter taste in my mouth and my stomach began to feel upset. Later, I learned that tea releases more caffeine and tannic acid during over-boiling, which are bad for the gastrointestinal tract and can easily lead to stomach upset and digestive problems. Therefore, when brewing black tea, it is necessary to control the boiling time to avoid the tea being too strong and affecting your health.
In life, we often overlook seemingly small details, but they can pay a heavy price for it. Drinking tea is certainly a kind of enjoyment, but we should pay attention to choosing the right amount of high-quality tea leaves, and pay attention to the method of making tea, in order to truly achieve the effect of health care. I hope you can learn from my experience, cherish your health, stay away from bad tea drinking habits, and make tea a beautiful part of our lives.
