Pu'er tea has the benefits of lowering blood lipids, losing weight, and warming the stomach. It can also inhibit bacteria, aid digestion, quench thirst, sober up and detoxify.

What should you pay attention to when drinking Pu'er tea

1. When the menstrual period comes: When the menstrual period comes every month, menstrual blood will consume a lot of iron in the body, so female friends should supplement more iron-rich vegetables and fruits at this time. If you drink tea at this time, up to 50% of tannic acid in Pu'er tea will hinder our intestinal mucosa from absorbing iron, greatly reducing the absorption of iron, so it is easy to precipitate in the intestine with iron in chyme or iron stones in blood tonic.

2. Pregnancy: Pregnant women are not suitable to drink Pu'er tea. Generally, the concentration of caffeine in strong tea is as high as 10%, which will increase the urine volume and heart rate of pregnant women, increase the burden on the heart and kidneys of pregnant women, and may even cause pregnancy poisoning. Therefore, it is best to drink less Pu'er tea.

3. Pregnant women in labor: Pregnant women should not drink too much Pu'er tea before giving birth. If you drink too much tea before giving birth, the caffeine in the tea will cause excitement and insomnia. If pregnant women do not get enough sleep before giving birth, they may be exhausted during delivery and even suffer from dystocia.

4. Pregnant women: Pregnant women who are breastfeeding after giving birth should not drink too much Pu'er tea. If they drink a lot of tea during this period, the high concentration of tannic acid in the tea will be absorbed by the mucous membrane, which will affect the blood circulation of the mammary glands and inhibit the secretion of milk, which may easily lead to insufficient milk secretion. At the same time, the caffeine in the tea can penetrate into the breast milk and indirectly affect the baby, which is not good for the baby's health.

5. Women who are in menopause, in addition to dizziness and general fatigue, sometimes also experience symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, bad temper, and poor sleep quality. Drinking too much Pu'er tea will make these symptoms more serious. Therefore, if you like to drink tea during this special stage, it is best not to drink Pu'er tea.
