Many people love to drink Tie Guan Yin tea. Regular tea drinking can timely supplement the human body with vitamin B1, pantothenic acid, phosphoric acid, methyl salicylate, and polyphenols. However, some experts point out that Tie Guan Yin should not be consumed on an empty stomach.
Why shouldn't you drink Tie Guan Yin on an empty stomach?
Although Tie Guan Yin is good, it is not suitable for everyone. This is because Tie Guan Yin contains a relatively high amount of substances such as polyphenols, aldehydes, and alcohols. These substances have little effect on healthy people, but for those with poor gastrointestinal function, especially patients with chronic gastrointestinal inflammation, these substances can irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa. People with already poor gastrointestinal function are more susceptible to inducing stomach problems.
In addition, Tie Guan Yin contains relatively high levels of caffeine, active alkaloids, and various aromatic substances. These substances can also excite a person's central nervous system. Patients with neurasthenia and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should drink it in moderation, and it is especially not advisable to consume it before bedtime or on an empty stomach.
