Many people think tea is harmless and even healthy.
In reality, tea is not food — it is a stimulant, and regular use can slowly harm the body.
1. Tea is a stimulant, not nutrition
Tea contains caffeine and other chemicals that:
-
Force the brain to stay alert
-
Stimulate the heart
-
Disturb the stomach and nerves
It does not give strength or nourishment like milk, water, fruits, or food.
It only pushes the body temporarily, like a mild drug.
Why Tea Should Be Avoided in Daily Life
2. Tea weakens the body over time
Regular tea use can cause:
-
Weakness and tiredness
-
Dizziness
-
Poor concentration
-
Dependency (headache and irritation if skipped)
This happens because tea blocks iron absorption, which slowly lowers blood strength (hemoglobin).
3. Tea damages the stomach
Tea increases acidity and irritates the stomach lining, leading to:
-
Gas and bloating
-
Acid reflux
-
Burning in chest or throat
-
Worsening of ulcers and gastritis
Drinking tea on an empty stomach is especially harmful.
4. Tea disturbs sleep and nerves
Even one or two cups can:
-
Reduce sleep quality
-
Increase anxiety
-
Cause fast heartbeat or shakiness
-
Increase stress on elderly people
Poor sleep leads to many other health problems.
Why Tea Should Be Treated Like Medicine
Tea can be useful only in limited and extreme situations, such as:
-
Severe sleepiness
-
Head congestion or heavy head
-
Short-term alertness in extreme fatigue
In these cases, small amounts may help — just like medicine.
Using tea daily is misuse, not benefit and harmful.
Milk Tea Is Also Harmful (Different but Serious Problems)
Many believe milk tea is safe. It is not.
5. Milk tea causes digestion and metabolic issues
Milk tea can lead to:
-
Weight gain
-
Fat accumulation
-
Sluggish digestion
-
Constipation
-
Insulin resistance (risk of diabetes)
Milk + tea chemicals form compounds that are hard to digest.
6. Milk tea still blocks iron
Even with milk:
-
Iron absorption is reduced
-
Anemia risk remains
-
Children and women are most affected
Milk does not “cancel” tea’s harm — it only masks it.
7. Milk tea creates stronger addiction
Milk tea:
-
Tastes pleasant
-
Is consumed more frequently
-
Leads to stronger habit and dependency
People then confuse withdrawal relief with “energy.”
Simple Truth
Tea does not give energy — it borrows energy from the body.
What it gives temporarily, it takes back with interest.
