Whether the taste of pakoras with tea is amazing or spicy tasty biscuits and spicy namkeen. Let's find out.

 

Sweet biscuits

We often like to eat sweet biscuits with tea, but do you know that it is not good for our health? The caffeine present in tea and the excess sugar present in biscuits together increase the sugar level in your body rapidly. By doing this continuously, the risk of obesity, diabetes and serious heart diseases increases. Therefore, keep in mind that the habit of eating sweets with tea should be given up and healthy options should be chosen instead.

 

Citrus Fruits

Drinking tea immediately after eating citrus fruits like orange and kiwi is not good for our health. The citric acid found in citrus fruits combines with the tannin present in tea and increases the acidity in our stomach . This can cause problems like heartburn, indigestion and intestinal problems. Apart from this, it can also cause allergies in some people. Therefore, eating citrus fruits with tea should be avoided. If you want to eat citrus fruits, then eat them at a different time than tea. You can eat citrus fruits with curd or milk.

 

Calcium Rich Foods

Many times we consume calcium-rich foods with tea, but do you know how harmful this combination can be for your health? Yes, many people eat paneer or spinach pakoras with tea, but the point to note here is that if you eat it in large quantities, the calcium found in these food items hinders the absorption of the compound 'catechin' present in tea. Due to this, the beneficial effects of catechin are reduced and it can be harmful to our body. Therefore, calcium-rich food items should be avoided with tea. If you want to take both of them together, then keep a gap of at least one hour between the two.

 

Iron Rich Foods

Food items like spinach, meat and lentils are a good source of iron, but did you know that your favorite tea can hinder the absorption of iron in your body? Yes, elements called tannin and oxalate are found in tea. These elements bind with the iron present in food items, due to which our body is unable to absorb it. Doing this continuously can cause iron deficiency in the body and problems like anemia can arise.

 

Samosas and Pakoras

Eating pakoras or samosas with tea is not good for your digestion. The tannin present in tea becomes harmful for health when combined with spicy things. This combination can cause problems like heartburn, gas and sour burps. If you constantly eat spicy food with tea, you may suffer from serious stomach diseases.
