What can't be taken with Pu'er tea?

1. Tea and wine

Many people like to drink tea after drinking alcohol, hoping to achieve the effects of moistening dryness, sobering up, digesting food, and regulating water channels, but this is not good for the kidneys. Alcohol is very irritating to the cardiovascular system, and strong tea also has the effect of stimulating the heart. Drinking tea after drinking alcohol will double the stimulation of the heart, increase the excitability, and increase the burden on the heart. This is even more unsuitable for people with poor heart function.

2. Tea and eggs

Boil eggs in tea. The concentration of tea is very high. Strong tea contains more tannic acid, which can turn the protein in food into a coagulated substance that is difficult to digest, affecting the body's absorption and utilization of protein. Eggs are high-protein foods, so it is not suitable to boil eggs in tea.

3. Tea and sugar

Tea is bitter and cold in nature. The purpose of drinking tea is to stimulate the digestive glands with the help of the bitterness of tea, promote the secretion of digestive juices, and enhance digestive function. Another purpose is to use the cold nature of tea to achieve the effect of clearing away heat and detoxification. If sugar is added to tea, this function will be inhibited. However, there are folk prescriptions in ancient books that use tea and sugar to treat diseases. It can be used as a diet therapy, but it is not suitable to drink tea with sugar if you usually drink tea.

4. Tea and mutton

Although eating some mutton regularly is good for the body, when eating mutton and drinking tea, the rich protein in mutton can "marry" with the tannic acid in tea to produce a substance called tannic acid protein. This substance has a certain astringent effect on the intestines, which can weaken the peristalsis of the intestines, reduce the water content in the stool, and easily cause constipation. Therefore, it is not advisable to drink tea while eating mutton. It is also not advisable to drink tea immediately after eating mutton. You should wait 2-3 hours before drinking tea.

5. Tea and medicine

Tannic acid in tea can react chemically with certain drugs (such as ferrous sulfate tablets, ammonium ferric citrate, berberine, etc.) to produce precipitation, affecting drug absorption. If sedatives (such as phenobarbital, diazepam, etc.) are taken with tea, stimulants such as caffeine and theophylline in tea will offset or weaken the sedative effect of the drugs. Because there are many types of drugs and it is not easy to master them, they should all be taken with warm water, which is beneficial and harmless.

Precautions for drinking Pu'er tea

1. It is not advisable to drink Pu'er tea during menstruation

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. However, if you are used to drinking tea when you are full, the 50% tannic acid in 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 tonics.

2. It is not advisable to drink Pu'er tea during pregnancy

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

3. Pregnant women should not drink Pu'er tea during the delivery period

Pregnant women should not drink too much tea before giving birth. If they 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 should not drink Pu'er tea

Mothers who want to breastfeed after giving birth should not drink too much tea, because 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 gland, inhibit the secretion of milk, and cause insufficient milk secretion.

5. It is not advisable to drink Pu'er tea during breastfeeding

After a breastfeeding mother drinks tea, the caffeine in the tea can penetrate into the breast milk and indirectly affect the baby, which is harmful to the baby's health.

6. It is not advisable to drink Pu'er tea during menopause

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 tea will aggravate these symptoms. Therefore, if you like to drink tea during this special stage, it is best to stop.
