As we all know, it is not recommended for women to drink tea during menstruation, because women's bodies are in urgent need of iron at this time, but the ingredients in tea will inhibit the absorption of iron. So what are the disadvantages of drinking tea during menstruation? Let's have a simple understanding and understanding of this issue. I hope the following points will be of some help to everyone! Can you drink black tea during your menstrual period? As for whether women can drink black tea during their menstrual period, in fact, they can drink some, but they should pay attention to not drinking too much and making it as light as possible when brewing. Because green tea contains tannic acid, which is a substance that precipitates with iron and affects the body's absorption of iron, and women will lose a certain amount of iron during their menstrual period, so drinking a lot of tea during their menstrual period can easily cause anemia. Therefore, it is not recommended for women to drink a lot of green tea during their menstrual period. Disadvantages of drinking black tea during menstruation 1. Cause anemia Drinking black tea during menstruation has the disadvantage of causing anemia, which is bad for women's health. Because the substances in green tea can cause the outflow of iron from the body, and women's menstrual period means that a large amount of blood is outflowing, so they need calcium supplementation more, and drinking green tea will aggravate the outflow of iron. 2. Aggravate constipation Drinking black tea during menstruation can aggravate constipation, making defecation more difficult. Due to the metabolism of progesterone growth hormone, some women experience constipation during their menstrual period. The tannic acid in green tea can slow down gastrointestinal function, causing stool to remain in the stomach and intestines, aggravating constipation. 3. Cause poor appetite Drinking black tea during menstruation has the disadvantage of causing loss of appetite, thus affecting the normal appetite during menstruation. Because the tannic acid in green tea also has astringent effect, it can inhibit the metabolism of digestive enzymes in the body, which can easily lead to symptoms such as poor appetite during menstruation and constipation. 4. Increase discomfort during menstruation Drinking black tea during menstruation also has the disadvantage of aggravating menstrual discomfort, which in turn affects women's health. Since green tea contains more caffeine, it has a certain stimulating effect on the central nervous system and endocrine system. Drinking strong tea or drinking too much tea during menstruation can cause menstrual pain, prolonged menstruation or excessive menstruation. |
