When certain specific signs appear in the body, drinking tea not only cannot bring health, but may be counterproductive, and even "drinking tea = drinking poison"! Especially in the third case, we need to be more vigilant, as long-term use may induce liver cancer!
1. When symptoms of tea drunkenness appear
Drinking tea is a good way to relax and refresh the mind, but if the symptoms of "tea drunkenness" appear, it means that the body has issued a warning.
Symptoms of tea drunkenness: dizziness, nausea, palpitations, weakness in hands and feet, and even unstable standing. The root cause of tea drunkenness is excessive theophylline, which is a central nervous system stimulant. Moderate intake can refresh the mind, but excessive intake will cause overexcitement of the nervous system and cause the above-mentioned discomfort symptoms.
Especially when drinking strong tea on an empty stomach, theophylline is more easily absorbed, leading to tea drunkenness. In addition, people with weak constitutions who rarely drink tea are more likely to experience tea drunkenness reactions.
Therefore, once tea drunkenness symptoms appear, you should stop drinking tea immediately. You can eat some candies, biscuits, or drink some sugar water to help relieve dizziness, palpitations and other symptoms caused by hypoglycemia.
In addition, the problem needs to be solved fundamentally, and tea drinking habits need to be adjusted: avoid drinking tea on an empty stomach, choose light tea, and control the amount of tea drinking.
2. Severe insomnia
For people with good sleep quality, drinking tea in moderation can relax the mood, but for people with long-term insomnia, drinking tea may be worse.
Tea contains caffeine, which is a stimulating substance that stimulates the cerebral cortex and excites the nervous system, thereby affecting sleep.
Especially in the afternoon or evening, the effect of caffeine is more obvious.
Therefore, for insomnia patients, the most direct way to deal with it is to avoid drinking tea in the afternoon or evening, and try to drink tea in the morning to give the body enough time to metabolize caffeine.
You can also choose low-caffeine teas, such as white tea, ripe Pu'er, etc., which have relatively low caffeine content. Try "washing tea", that is, pouring out the first brew of tea, which can remove some caffeine.
3. Vomiting and diarrhea after drinking tea
Symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea after drinking tea are not just as simple as "gastrointestinal discomfort". It may indicate more serious problems. If it continues for a long time, it may even induce liver cancer!
Some "unscrupulous merchants" use excessive pesticides in the planting process of tea, and they are not strictly cleaned and processed. After these pesticides enter the human body, they will cause damage to the liver, and long-term accumulation may induce liver cancer.
In addition, there are two situations of gastrointestinal sensitivity: Some people are born with sensitive stomachs and are intolerant to certain ingredients in tea (such as tannic acid), which can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
Tea deterioration: Tea that is not properly stored is prone to moisture, mold, and produces harmful substances. It may also cause vomiting and diarrhea after drinking.
Therefore, once vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms occur after drinking tea, you should stop drinking the tea immediately and observe whether the symptoms are relieved.
If the symptoms are severe or persistent, you should seek medical attention in time to rule out the possibility of pesticide poisoning or liver disease.
To avoid this situation, you should usually choose regular channels to buy tea, choose reputable merchants, and buy tea that has passed the test.
At the same time, pay attention to the preservation of tea, store the tea in a dry, cool, ventilated place to avoid moisture and mold.
4. Stomach acid
For people with excessive stomach acid, drinking tea may aggravate the condition and even cause stomach discomfort.
Tea contains tannic acid, which stimulates gastric acid secretion and causes excessive stomach acid. For people who have excessive stomach acid, drinking tea is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.
Therefore, for people with excessive stomach acid, they should avoid drinking tea on an empty stomach. Drinking tea after meals can reduce the stimulation of tannic acid on the stomach.
You can choose teas with a higher degree of fermentation, such as black tea, ripe Pu'er, etc., which have a relatively low tannic acid content.
At the same time, control the amount of tea you drink and avoid drinking a lot of tea, especially strong tea.
In short, although drinking tea is good, you should also do it according to your own situation.
When the body sends out the above signals, you must pay attention to it, adjust your tea drinking habits in time, or even stop drinking tea to avoid damage to your health.
Only healthy and moderate tea drinking is really good for your body.
