Dr. Andrei Tyagilnikov, a primary health care specialist at the Moscow Ministry of Health, announced that tea contains various substances, and this limits the body to no more than four cups of it per day.
The specialist said in an interview with the Russian Novosti News Agency: “Eating a moderate amount of tea per day is beneficial, because it contains tannin, an antioxidant. But when you drink too much tea, this substance begins to hinder the absorption of iron from food. Therefore, in order for the body to get the benefit from drinking tea, you must drink 3-4 cups of it a day, and not take it instead of water.
According to him, excessive tea consumption can also lead to insomnia and increased arousal because it contains caffeine. In addition, it has diuretic properties.
He says, “Tea leaves contain various mineral elements, antioxidants and vitamins. All these substances are necessary and beneficial for the human body. For example, polyphenols help prevent the development of atherosclerosis, diabetes and high blood pressure. But drinking tea is not a way to prevent diseases.
And the specialist points out that tea must be brewed properly in order to get the required benefit from it. For brewing black tea, a water temperature of 100 degrees Celsius should be used, and for green tea, the water temperature should be 60-80 degrees Celsius. Tea should be consumed as soon as it is brewed, because following some time it loses all its beneficial properties.
He says: “Tea can be re-fermented, as black tea leaves can be brewed twice, while green tea can be brewed 3-4 times without harming health. As for tea bags, it is not recommended to brew them more than once.
