Drinking tea in summer has many benefits. Doctors remind: There are two types of women who should not drink tea, otherwise it will endanger their health

China is the hometown of tea culture, and the habit of drinking tea has existed in our country since ancient times. In the hot summer, people drink more tea. Compared to cold and carbonated foods, drinking tea is relatively healthier. There are many benefits of drinking tea in summer. Let's take a look at them one by one:

Benefit 1: Refreshing the mind

Especially in summer, when the weather is hot, people often feel listless, become inefficient at work, and yawn all the time. At this time, it is very suitable to drink tea, which can help refresh the mind. This is because tea contains caffeine, which can excite the central nervous system of the brain, thereby achieving the effect of refreshing the mind.

Speaking of this, many people will think of coffee. Coffee also contains caffeine, which can also have a refreshing effect on the brain. However, studies have shown that drinking coffee for a long time can cause arteriosclerosis, but drinking tea will not. Drinking tea can inhibit arteriosclerosis. This is because in addition to caffeine, tea is also rich in tea polyphenols and vitamin C. These two substances can neutralize the adverse effects of caffeine.

Benefit 2: Delaying aging

Women who love beauty do not want to age so quickly, so drinking tea can help delay aging, which is very suitable for women who love beauty. Tea contains relatively rich tea polyphenols, which are natural active substances with antioxidant properties. Drinking tea regularly can allow the human body to absorb tea polyphenols, which can help eliminate free radicals in the body. When the free radicals in the human body are eliminated, the anti-aging process of cells can be blocked.

Some people say that vitamin E also has a good anti-aging effect. How does it compare with tea polyphenols? Scientific research shows that the anti-aging effect of tea polyphenols is far better than that of vitamin E.

Drinking tea has many benefits, but not everyone is suitable for drinking tea. There are two types of women who are not suitable for drinking tea. If these two types of women drink tea, it will be harmful to their health. Let’s look at the two types of women:

Category 1: Pregnant women

Pregnant women are not suitable for drinking tea. Tea is cold in nature. Pregnant women who drink cold drinks may easily suffer miscarriage. Moreover, tea contains a large amount of caffeine. If pregnant women drink too much tea, it will stimulate the fetus, increase fetal movements, and even endanger the normal growth of the fetus.

In addition, tea contains high concentrations of tannic acid. Pregnant women will supplement iron for the development of the fetus during pregnancy. If pregnant women drink a lot of tea when supplementing iron, the tannic acid in the tea will combine with the iron in the food to form a complex that cannot be absorbed by the body, which may cause anemia during pregnancy, and the fetus in the body may also suffer from congenital iron deficiency anemia.

Category 2: Women during menstruation

Women who are menstruating are also not suitable for drinking tea. Women lose more blood during menstruation. When losing a lot of blood, if they drink a lot of tea, the tannic acid in the tea will combine with the iron in the human body, causing a large amount of iron to be lost. If you drink a lot of tea, it is easy to cause iron deficiency anemia.

During menstruation, the human body's neuroendocrine functions will change, resulting in various physiological problems, such as headaches, abdominal pain, nervous tension, etc. Tea contains caffeine and theobromine, which can excite the nerves and thus aggravate menstrual reactions such as abdominal pain and headache.
