Some of these people also boil it too much to make strong tea. But do you know that doing this can be harmful?
Dietitian Payal Sharma says that over-boiled tea is dangerous for health. Recently ICMR issued guidelines in this regard and said that drinking boiled tea for a long time has a bad effect on our liver and heart. Let's know about the harm caused by it.
According to the National Library of Medicine, black tea contains many compounds called polyphenols, such as tannins, catechins, theoflavins, and flavonoids. It contains natural antioxidants, which help the body fight free radicals. But too much tannin affects many parts of the body.
According to experts, if you drink boiled tea for a long time, it increases blood pressure. If you boil it too much or heat it repeatedly, more tannin is released. This can increase blood pressure
Drinking boiled tea repeatedly increases the amount of acid in the body. This increases the risk of stomach problems. Especially if you drink such tea in summer, it can cause stomach pain, constipation, acidity and other digestive problems.
Excess tannin prevents the absorption of iron and calcium. Therefore, people who have any problems related to bones or teeth should not drink tea. According to experts, drinking too strong tea can cause anemia.
