For many common diseases such as colds, the most common treatment method is to take medicine. However, in order to make the medicine work the best, it is necessary to pay attention to relevant matters during the process of taking medicine, such as reasonable diet. Many people have heard the saying that you cannot drink tea after taking medicine, so what are the hazards of drinking tea after taking medicine?

First

It should be mentioned that it is best not to drink tea after taking medicine, because the medicine we drink is basically composed of chemical elements.

And there is an acid in the tea water, if we drink tea after taking medicine, this acid will react with the medicine, produce precipitation, and have an impact on people.

Second

Because tea water is not as light as plain water, on the contrary, it has a certain irritability.

If it is strong tea, it is irritating to the gastrointestinal mucosa, and it will also affect the absorption of drugs, causing discomfort.

Third

There is also a saying that tea water can be used to neutralize drugs, that is, it can decompose the properties of drugs, so it is not advisable to drink tea when taking medicine.

If it is necessary to drink tea, it is best to drink it one to two hours after taking the medicine.

Because the chemical components contained in the tea we drink not only reduce or affect the efficacy of drugs, but also produce some side effects, so it is not advisable to drink tea water after taking medicine.

Drinking tea can prevent radiation.

With the gradual enrichment of people’s family electrification, there are more and more sources of radiation. Especially sitting in front of a color television for a long time, the radiation waves received by the human body can lead to a decrease in vision and affect people’s physical health.

Regular tea drinking, the ester polysaccharides and polyphenols contained in tea have a certain radiation protection effect. Ester polysaccharides have a significant protective effect on hematopoiesis, enhancing the function of leukocytes.

The polyphenols in tea can absorb radioactive strontium-90, and then it is excreted from the body through the excretory system. It is more necessary for those who engage in radioactive professions to drink more tea.

Drinking tea can benefit oral health and teeth.

In ‘Dream of the Red Chamber’, it is written that when Daiyu first enters Rongguofu, she drinks two cups of tea after the meal. The first cup is for rinsing the mouth, and the second cup is the actual drinking. This has a certain scientific basis.

Firstly, rinsing the mouth with tea water after drinking not only cleans the food residue in the mouth but also the polyphenols contained in tea have bactericidal and detoxifying effects. For those with halitosis, a sip of clear tea will immediately make their cheeks and teeth smell fragrant.

Secondly, the fluorine content in tea is relatively high, and after brewing, about 60% of the fluorine elements dissolve in the tea juice. Fluorine has a strong affinity with calcium in the tooth enamel, forming a hard and acid-resistant fluorapatite, which is like adding a protective layer to the teeth, greatly enhancing the teeth’s ability to resist acid and caries.
