-
Dr. Andrei Tyagelnikov, senior independent specialist in primary health care at the Moscow Health Department, advises against drinking too much concentrated black tea.

He notes that this particularly includes people with high blood pressure and pregnant women. People who suffer from digestive problems should not take it on an empty stomach.

According to him, black tea has a pronounced tonic effect, antiseptic properties, has a beneficial effect on the nervous system, improves mood, and improves metabolism. Green tea, which is less processed and contains more vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other elements, can lower blood pressure, improve immunity, lower blood glucose, and improve concentration and attention.

He says: “But neither tea nor other drinks can replace water. Because tea, in addition to its mentioned benefits, has properties that help remove fluids from the body. For example, hot tea increases the sweating process. Tea also has diuretic properties and contributes to the removal of calcium from the body.” The body, therefore, in order to compensate for the lack of fluids in the blood, lymph and cells, you must drink pure water without chemical impurities.”

The doctor points out that green tea also cannot be a substitute for food, although it is often included in various diets for weight loss. Tea nourishes and revitalizes the body as it is a source of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids, which allows maintaining a feeling of fullness for a longer period, and helps normalize the metabolism and reduce swelling.
