Scientists named a popular drink , which accelerates metabolism, improves memory, promotes weight loss and has many properties that increase life expectancy. According to experts, its moderate consumption, namely, no more than three cups a day, has a positive effect on the body. However, abuse may cause side effects.

According to research, regular tea contains tannins, polyphenolic compounds that make this popular drink and wine taste bitter. They can interfere with the absorption of iron. If you do not want to reduce your tea consumption per day, you need to make sure that there is a sufficient amount of products rich in iron in your daily diet.

Another problem is the presence of toxins in tea leaves. It applies to all plant products in the conditions of modern ecology. The researchers clarify that as a result of testing 30 types of tea, lead was found in each of them.

At the same time, the level of aluminum was 20% higher than the recommended norm. Daily exposure to toxins can cause liver damage.

Scientists also found high levels of fluoride. In their opinion, it contributes to accelerated damage to teeth, bones and joints. Another problem with the abuse of tea was called anxiety. As well as sleep problems and headaches.

All the damage is related to the caffeine contained in the tea leaves. Of course, its level is much less than in coffee – from 20 to 60 mg in a cup. However, with constant use, heartburn may occur.

Lovers of tea with lemon are also recommended to reduce the daily dose. Despite the fact that citric acid is an antioxidant, tea with lemon contains a high level of heavy metals.

To reduce the harmful effects on the body, it is necessary to monitor the norm and choose loose leaf tea. According to experts, it contains much fewer harmful elements than packaged.
