Tea has become an important part of Indian life. From boosting morning energy to spending time with friends and family, the taste and habit of tea is deeply ingrained in people’s daily routine. But experts say that consumption of tea should also be in limited quantity, especially tea with milk. Drinking tea in excess can have negative effects on health.
Possible disadvantages of milk tea
digestive problems
Milk tea contains both caffeine and milk proteins. Drinking too much tea can increase acid in the stomach, which can cause problems like gas, indigestion and burning sensation.
trouble sleeping
The caffeine present in tea activates the brain. Drinking tea with milk in large quantities can impair sleep at night and increase the problem of insomnia.
effect on heart
Too much caffeine can make the heart beat faster. This may affect blood pressure and heart rate.
risk of weight gain
Drinking tea mixed with milk and sugar can increase calories. Drinking too much tea continuously can lead to weight gain and obesity.
How much tea should one drink in a day?
As per doctors advice:
2-3 cups of tea a day is enough.
If you prefer milk tea, reduce the amount of milk and sugar.
Tea without sugar and light milk has less negative effects on health.
Especially people with heart disease, diabetes and stomach problems should pay attention to the quantity of tea.
Tips to drink healthy tea
Try Green or Herbal Tea
Green tea, herbal teas with ginger or mint contain less caffeine and are beneficial for digestion.
reduce sugar
By reducing the amount of sugar, calories are reduced and there is no problem of weight gain.
Drink tea only in the morning and afternoon
Drinking tea at night can affect sleep.
Choose milk wisely
Using low-fat milk or plant-based milk like soy or oat milk is a better option for health.
expert advice
Doctors and nutritionists say that the quantity of tea should be balanced. Drinking tea does not necessarily have to become a daily habit. Small changes like reducing sugar, switching to herbal alternatives and avoiding tea at night can be beneficial for your health.
