Yes, but you still have to be careful. If you do not drink tea immediately after a meal, drink Tieguanyin tea immediately after a meal. A large amount of water will enter the stomach that is digesting food, which will dilute the digestion secreted by the stomach. liquid, thus affecting the digestion of food by the stomach. In addition, when drinking Tieguanyin tea, you should also avoid mixing it with other foods, which may cause harm to the body.
1. Tea and sugar
Tea is bitter and cold in nature. The purpose of people drinking tea is to use the bitter taste of tea to stimulate the digestive glands and promote the secretion of digestive juice to enhance digestive function. Then there is the use of the cold and cool nature of tea to achieve the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. Adding sugar to tea will inhibit this function. However, there are also folk prescriptions in ancient books for mixing tea with sugar to treat diseases. It can be used as a dietary therapy, but if you drink tea regularly, it is not suitable to mix it with sugar.
2. Tea and eggs
The concentration of tea is very high when boiled eggs are boiled in tea. Strong tea contains more tannins. Tannins can change the protein in food. It forms a coagulated substance that is not easily digested and affects the body's absorption and utilization of protein. Eggs are high-protein foods, so it is not suitable to boil them in tea.
3. Tea and wine
Many people like to drink tea after drinking, hoping to achieve the effects of moistening dryness and relieving hangover, eliminating accumulated food, and regulating water channels, but this is not good for The kidneys are unfavorable. Because drinking tea after drinking alcohol has a diuretic effect, the acetaldehyde converted from alcohol has not yet been completely decomposed, that is, it enters the kidneys due to the diuretic effect of theophylline. Acetaldehyde is highly irritating to the kidneys, thus easily affecting kidney function. cause damage. As a result, symptoms such as kidney cold, impotence, frequent and turbid urine, and testicle pain occur in succession. In addition, 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 stimulate the heart, increase the excitability, and put a heavier burden on the heart, which is very important for people with poor heart function. It is even more inappropriate.
4. Tea and mutton
Although eating some mutton from time to time is very beneficial to the body, when eating mutton and drinking tea, the rich protein in the mutton can be combined with the tannins in the tea. The "marriage" of acids produces a substance called acid-detecting protein. This substance has a certain astringent effect on the intestines, which can weaken the peristalsis of the intestines, reduce the water in the stool, and easily cause constipation. Therefore, it is not advisable to drink tea while eating mutton. It is not advisable to drink tea immediately after eating mutton. You should wait 2-3 hours before drinking tea.
5. Tea and medicine.
The tannic acid in tea can react chemically with certain drugs (such as ferrous sulfate tablets, ferric ammonium citrate, berberine, etc.) to cause precipitation, which affects drug absorption. If you take sedatives (such as phenobarbital, diazepam, etc.) with tea, the stimulants such as caffeine and theophylline in the tea will offset or weaken the sedative effect of the drug. Because there are many types of medicines and it is not easy to master them, they should all be taken with warm water, which is beneficial and harmless.
6. Tea and dog meat
In winter, people like to eat dog meat hot pot very much. Dog meat is not only tender and fragrant, but also rich in nutrients, it also produces a lot of heat and has strong ability to warm up and keep out the cold. Therefore, it is beneficial for some people with weak constitutions and people suffering from arthritis and other diseases to eat more dog meat during the severe winter. However, you must not blindly eat dog meat to avoid eating rabies meat and contracting rabies. Do not drink tea after eating dog meat. This is because the tannic acid in the tea leaves combines with the protein in the dog meat to produce a substance called tannic acid protein. This substance has a certain astringent effect, which can weaken intestinal peristalsis and reduce the water in the stool. Therefore, toxic substances and carcinogens in the stool will stay in the intestines for too long and are easily absorbed by the body. Therefore, it is not advisable to drink tea immediately after eating dog meat.
In addition, many people like to buy newly roasted Tieguanyin tea. In fact, new tea often cannot be drunk while it is "fresh". The idea that "the fresher the tea leaves, the better" is a misunderstanding. Not all teas are fresher, the better. Pu'er tea and black tea are better with age, and the tea that pursues freshness is green tea, but even green tea does not need to be fresh enough to be picked and drunk. Moreover, the freshest tea leaves may not necessarily have the best nutritional content, because tea leaves picked for less than a month have not been stored for a period of time and contain substances that have adverse effects on the body, such as polyphenols, alcohols, and aldehydes. The substances have not been completely oxidized. If you drink new tea for a long time, adverse reactions such as diarrhea and bloating may occur. Tea that is too fresh is even worse for patients. For example, some elderly patients suffering from achlorhydria or chronic gastric ulcer are not suitable for drinking new tea. New tea will irritate their gastric mucosa, cause gastrointestinal discomfort, and even aggravate the condition. Experts believe that the new tea bought by ordinary consumers should be stored for at least half a month before drinking.
Because Tieguanyin is a semi-fermented tea, it contains rich tea polyphenols and theophylline and is cool in nature. Therefore, it is generally best not to drink Chinese medicine or something at the same time, so as not to conflict with the properties of the tea and cause unnecessary trouble. The interval should be at least half an hour.
