Health Experts Warn: Avoid Tea Immediately After Meals to Prevent Nutrient Loss
- •Drinking tea right after meals hinders nutrient absorption, especially iron, due to tannins and polyphenols.
- •Tannins and polyphenols in tea bind to non-heme iron, increasing the risk of iron deficiency and anemia.
- •Caffeine and tannins in tea can interfere with digestive enzymes, leading to bloating, gas, acidity, and indigestion.
- •Regular tea consumption with meals can cause nutrient deficiencies, weakening immunity, bone health, and energy levels.
- •Health experts recommend waiting 30-60 minutes after a meal before drinking tea to allow proper digestion and nutrient absorption.
Why It Matters: Avoid tea immediately after meals to ensure proper nutrient absorption and prevent digestive issues.
