A cup of tea in the morning is a habit of many elderly people. But recently, an old tea friend was hospitalized for anemia caused by long-term drinking of strong tea, which made many people begin to wonder: Is it true that you can't drink tea casually after the age of 70?

1. Strong tea: the "invisible thief" of iron

The tannic acid in tea is like a mischievous thief who will quietly "take away" the iron in food. The digestion and absorption function of the elderly is declining, and long-term consumption of strong tea may make iron deficiency anemia come to the door. Especially for those who are taking iron supplements, it is best to drink tea at an interval of more than 2 hours from iron supplementation.

2. Overnight tea: the "happy hometown" of bacteria

That cup of tea that was left on the table overnight may have turned into a microbe's carnival party. After the oxidation of tea polyphenols, not only nutrients are lost, but the warm and humid environment is also a hotbed for bacterial reproduction. The immunity of the elderly is relatively weak, and drinking overnight tea is easy to cause gastrointestinal discomfort.

3. Hot tea: the "invisible killer" of the esophagus

Hot beverages above 60°C are classified as Group 0A carcinogens, which is much lower than many people think. The temperature of freshly brewed tea is usually 0-0°C, and the habit of drinking hot tea in a hurry may cause repeated injuries to the esophageal mucosa. Waiting for the tea to cool down to below 0 °C before drinking is the most gentle care for the esophagus.
