Tea After A Meal

We will take care of what is the effect of drinking a cup of tea after a meal. Does a cup of tea after meal benefits us or affects us. Many people have the habit of having a cup of tea after a meal.
However I received an email not to do so, because tea leaves contain a acid in high quantity.The acids hardens the proteins contained in the food, which eventually makes it difficult for digestion. So I thought to give it a closer look and I ran into an article on hystersisters.com which adds te following benefits to drinking tea after or with meal.
  1. A study has shown that black tea taken with heavy meals help to reduce the heart attack by increasing the antioxidant levels and blood flow.
  2. It was found to prevent spinal fractures in women with Osteoporosis.
  3. The tea contains some environmental substances depending on the region where it is grown such as fluoride and aluminum, which can be beneficial and vice versa as well.
