However, the following points should be noted when drinking tea to avoid improper tea consumption that could affect your health.

① Avoid drinking cold tea, as it may cause side effects such as phlegm accumulation and cold stagnation.

② Avoid drinking scalding hot tea. Tea that is too hot can strongly irritate the throat, esophagus, and stomach, and prolonged exposure can cause discomfort.

Drinking tea that is too hot can damage these organs.

③ Avoid drinking overnight tea. Because if left overnight for too long, the proteins in the tea will become breeding grounds for bacteria.

The nutrients that mold provides for its growth cause minerals to deteriorate and nutrients to be lost.

④ Avoid drinking tea on an empty stomach. Drinking tea on an empty stomach can cause palpitations, dizziness, weakness in the limbs, and sweating.

⑤ Avoid taking medicine with tea. Tea contains a large amount of tannic acid, which can bind with many medications.

Combining can produce a chemical reaction, hindering the body's absorption and utilization of the drug, thus affecting the drug's efficacy.

Therefore, it is important to avoid taking medicine with tea to prevent it from being taken with the medicine.
