Q: Some people say that tea can hinder protein absorption, so if you eat protein foods, you cannot drink tea. However, people always eat protein foods and drink tea every day. How to solve this contradiction?
A: The tannic acid contained in tea can bind to proteins and produce astringent tannic acid protein, which may slow the gastrointestinal motility and may not be conducive to protein absorption. However, the main component of tea is tea polyphenols, and the amount of tannins contained in it is very small, generally only about 5%. Compared with the amount of protein that humans consume daily, the effect of tannic acid in tea leaves is minimal. of. Therefore, you can drink tea while eating protein food.
Q: Can someone who has a lot of stomach acid (having heartburn) drink tea?
Answer: People with more stomach acid should try not to drink too strong tea, but light tea is harmless. Because the alkaloids in tea can reduce the activity of phosphodiesterase that can inhibit secretion of gastric acid by gastric parietal cells, gastric parietal cells secrete more gastric acid, which is not good for health. It is recommended to pay attention to the scientific nature of drinking tea: drink tea for half an hour after a meal and do not drink tea at the same time when eating; if you drink tea when you eat, it is best to eat fruits or take vitamin C tablets after a meal, which can increase the body's iron Absorption; Green tea itself is rich in vitamin C, has little effect on iron absorption and can be consumed more.
