Tea is one of the most loved beverages in the world calming, flavorful, and often packed with antioxidants.
While a few cups a day can offer health benefits like improved digestion or reduced stress, drinking too much tea can actually have some surprising negative side effects on your health.
One of the most common issues is iron absorption interference. Tea contains tannins, which can bind to iron in the food you eat, especially non-heme iron from plant sources, making it harder for your body to absorb. This can lead to iron deficiency, especially in women or vegetarians.
Another downside is caffeine overload. Though tea has less caffeine than coffee, drinking it in excess especially strong black or green tea can cause restlessness, insomnia, headaches, or even increased heart rate in sensitive individuals.
Tea can also be harsh on your stomach. Drinking too much on an empty stomach may lead to nausea, acidity, or digestive discomfort.
Additionally, some teas may stain your teeth over time due to their natural pigments.
Lastly, drinking sweetened or overly processed tea can contribute to weight gain and spike blood sugar.
As with most things, moderation is key. A few mindful cups can be healing, but too much may do more harm than good.+See more details
