In India, the beginning of the morning is considered incomplete without tea. Crores of people in the country start their day with a cup of hot tea. But according to health experts and nutritionists, drinking tea on an empty stomach immediately after waking up in the morning can prove to be a very harmful habit for health. Medical science says that in the morning our stomach is completely empty and the body needs hydration. In such a situation, instead of consuming tea directly, if you drink at least one glass of plain or lukewarm water before that, it acts like a protective shield for your health. This small habit can keep you away from many complex stomach problems forever.
You will get relief from acidity and heartburn forever The biggest reason why it is important to drink water before drinking tea on an empty stomach in the morning is to prevent acidity. The nature of tea is acidic. When we wake up in the morning after a night’s sleep, we already have increased levels of acid in our stomach. In such a situation, drinking tea directly increases the amount of acid in the stomach, which causes problems like heartburn, sour belching and stomach cramps. Drinking water just 10 to 15 minutes before tea dilutes the stomach acid, due to which the risk of acidity after drinking tea is completely avoided.
Dehydration of the body will go away and digestive system will become stronger. We do not drink water during 7 to 8 hours of sleep at night, due to which our body is naturally a little dehydrated when we wake up in the morning. Elements like caffeine and theanine are found in tea, which work like ‘diuretic’. This means that drinking tea on an empty stomach leads to further loss of water in the body. Drinking water before tea instantly rehydrates the body, due to which the digestion process starts working smoothly. This water protects the inner layer of our stomach (gut lining) from the direct and intense effects of tea.
Tooth decay and bad breath will be controlled Very few people know that drinking tea on an empty stomach also has a bad effect on our oral health i.e. teeth. The bacteria and acids present in tea damage the enamel of the teeth, which can lead to sensitivity, yellowness and decay of teeth. When we drink water first thing in the morning, it activates the saliva present in the mouth and neutralizes the effect of acid. This removes bad breath and keeps the gums and teeth healthy and strong for a long time.
