What are the taboos of drinking black tea?
1. Avoid drinking black tea during special periods.
Drinking black tea during menstruation, especially strong tea, can induce or aggravate premenstrual syndrome. Medical researchers found that people with a habit of drinking tea are 2.4 times more likely to suffer from premenstrual tension syndrome than those without the habit, and those who drink more than four cups of tea per day are three times more likely.
2. Do not drink black tea on an empty stomach.
Drinking black tea on an empty stomach can dilute gastric juices and reduce digestive function, leading to a high rate of water absorption, which allows harmful components in the tea to enter the bloodstream in large quantities, causing symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, and weakness in the limbs.
3. Fever is not suitable for drinking black tea.
Tea contains theobromine, which has a temperature-raising effect. For fever patients, drinking tea is like “getting overheated.”
Who should not drink black tea?
1. People with mental fatigue
Black tea contains stimulating components, which are beneficial to most people, but those with nerve weakness may experience increased brain excitement after drinking, worsening their condition; thus, it is not recommended they drink it.

Anemic individuals may experience exacerbated anemia when drinking black tea due to the formation of insoluble complexes between tannic acid and iron in the body.

Nutritional iron-deficiency anemia patients drinking black tea will accelerate fat decomposition, further exacerbating inadequate nutritional supply.
