Few people doubt the benefits of tea. This drink has been drunk for thousands of years, including for medicinal purposes. Properly brewed natural leaf tea perfectly quenches thirst, invigorates, lowers cholesterol levels, normalizes the cardiovascular system, slows down aging and has a positive effect on cognitive abilities. However, the large number of advantages of the drink does not exclude the presence of disadvantages. The editorial team of Baazar magazine told what will happen if you give up drinking tea and what benefits it can bring to the body.

We often forget how much caffeine tea contains. The habit of drinking it in the evening (and after 4:00 p.m.) can often cause sleep problems. Even if tea does not cause you complete insomnia, its regular use can affect the quality of sleep, its depth and calmness. If you stop drinking tea, you will probably notice that you will sleep better. Of course, if you do not abuse coffee.

In addition, giving up tea will have a beneficial effect on dental health, in particular on the condition of tooth enamel. Regular consumption of a strongly brewed drink can lead to the development of fluorosis – a dental disease caused by the accumulation of fluoride in the body. To avoid this, it is enough to reduce the amount of tea consumed, as well as reduce the time it is brewed – no more than 3-5 minutes.

If you want to avoid the development of iron deficiency anemia, you should get rid of the habit of drinking tea with food. Studies conducted at the University of California in 2011 proved that tea significantly impairs the body's absorption of iron that enters the body with food. If you regularly drink tea with meals, the risk of developing iron deficiency increases, which can lead to unpleasant consequences: deterioration of the condition of the skin, hair, lethargy and impaired cognitive abilities.

In general, if you do not want to completely give up drinking tea, you should not do this. If you do not abuse it, do not exceed the brewing time and do not drink it during meals, then it will only benefit the body.
