The side effects of Pu-erh tea. Pu-erh tea has a long and rich history and is a type of tea known for its weight-loss effects. However, many people are not suitable for drinking Pu-erh tea.
Side effects of Pu-erh tea
1. Pu-erh tea (ripe tea) has a high fluoride content. When consumed in large quantities, especially with water, it can combine with calcium ions in the body to form calcium fluoride, which is not easily absorbed and can lead to calcium loss.
2. Pu-erh tea (ripe tea) contains a lot of tea pigments. Drinking too much without proper brushing can easily lead to tea stains on the teeth.
3. Pu-erh tea can lower blood sugar levels quickly. For patients with hypoglycemia or hypotension, drinking large amounts can easily cause symptoms like dizziness and nausea.
4. The tannic acid and tannins in Pu-erh tea (ripe tea) can combine with iron ions in the body, similarly hindering the body's absorption of iron and thus affecting hematopoietic function. Therefore, patients with anemia and women during their menstrual period should avoid drinking Pu-erh tea.
5. Pu-erh tea (raw tea) is "cold" in nature. Drinking too much can cause discomfort symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea for people with a "cold" body constitution, and it can be quite harsh on the stomach.
