Weather of Arabia - Tea is one of the most popular drinks in the world, and health experts recommend it because it brings many benefits to the body, but they warn against drinking it when eating some foods, because this may lead to a number of disorders.

 

The following are 7 foods that are recommended to be avoided or reduced with tea:

 

sugar and milk

Drinking tea in a healthy way requires not to have too much sugar, or even mix it with milk and some sweeteners, because then it turns into a high-calorie drink.

 

Biscuit

Since many drink tea while eating food prepared from flour, such as sweets and biscuits, experts recommend avoiding this habit, as it increases the possibility of constipation and high acidity.

 

Spinach and iron rich food

It is recommended to stay away from drinking tea when eating iron-rich vegetables such as spinach and peas, because the ingredients in tea prevent the mineral from being absorbed into the body, and thus will deprive you of a great benefit.

 

Lemon

Many add lemon slices to tea cups, because they like the taste, while this combination increases acidity and causes bloating.

 

Foods that contain turmeric

You should stay away from foods that contain a high percentage of turmeric when drinking tea, because mixing causes disruption in the work of the digestive system.

 

Nuts

It is desirable not to eat nuts when drinking tea, because a substance called “tannin” found in tea prevents the body from absorbing the beneficial nutrients it needs, according to the “India” website.

 

These medical tips do not prevent tea lovers from enjoying some foods that they used to accompany with a cup of tea, but experts always recommend what benefits the body, and not what consumers see as delicious or palatable in terms of taste.
