Women get sick from drinking tea at this time

Drinking tea is a Chinese tradition, but Chinese medicine believes that there are some rules to drinking tea. For example, children who are too young cannot drink tea. For female friends, there are also 6 stages when it is not suitable to drink tea.

1. Women who are in menopause

In addition to dizziness and general fatigue, menopausal women sometimes also experience rapid heartbeat, bad temper, and poor sleep. Drinking too much tea will aggravate these symptoms.

2. When the monthly menstrual period comes

When you have your period, the menstrual blood will consume a lot of iron in the body. Therefore, female friends need to supplement more iron-rich fruits and vegetables at this time, such as spinach, grapes, apples and other fruits. But if you are used to drinking tea after a full meal, the tea contains up to 50% tannic acid, which will hinder our intestinal mucosa's absorption of iron and greatly reduce the absorption of iron. Therefore, it is easy to precipitate in the intestine with the iron in the chyme or iron stones in the blood tonic.

3. Pregnant women are in their pregnancy period

Generally, the caffeine concentration in strong tea is as high as 10%, which will increase people's excitement, increase the number and frequency of urination and heartbeat of pregnant women, and increase the burden on the heart and kidneys of pregnant women, and may even cause pregnancy poisoning. Therefore, it is best to drink less tea.

4. Before a pregnant woman is about to give birth

If you drink too much strong tea before giving birth, the caffeine in the tea will have a stimulating effect and cause insomnia. If the pregnant woman does not get enough sleep before giving birth, it may lead to exhaustion during delivery, and even cause dystocia. The cost of drinking tea is too high.

5. Pregnant women who want to breastfeed themselves

If you drink a lot of tea during the postpartum period, the high concentration of tannic acid in the tea will be absorbed by the mucous membrane, which will affect the blood circulation of the mammary gland, inhibit the secretion of milk, and cause insufficient milk secretion.

6. Wet nurses

After the mother drinks tea, the caffeine in the tea can penetrate into the breast milk and indirectly affect the baby, which is harmful to the baby's health.
