Teh Tembi?
π΅πΏ — waktu minum teh ☕π΅πΈπ⏰ππ―
π 1. Waktu terbaik minum teh
✅ Pagi (1–2 jam setelah sarapan)
-
Jangan langsung setelah makan, karena teh bisa menghambat penyerapan zat besi.
-
Tunggu sekitar 1–2 jam setelah makan pagi supaya mineral (terutama zat besi & kalsium) sudah terserap dulu.
-
Cocok untuk green tea, oolong, atau white tea → memberi energi lembut & antioksidan tinggi tanpa membuat jantung berdebar.
✅ Sore hari (pukul 15.00–17.00)
-
Saat energi mulai turun, teh memberi efek segar ringan tanpa ganggu tidur.
-
Pilih black tea atau jasmine tea kalau ingin efek relaks sekaligus fokus.
✅ Malam (pukul 19.00–21.00)
-
Pilih herbal tea tanpa kafein, seperti chamomile, peppermint, atau lemongrass.
-
Efeknya menenangkan dan membantu tidur.
π« 2. Waktu yang sebaiknya dihindari
❌ Langsung setelah makan besar → teh bisa mengikat zat besi & seng dari makanan, terutama kalau kamu makan daging, sayur hijau, atau suplemen mineral.
❌ Saat perut kosong → bisa meningkatkan asam lambung, terutama untuk green tea.
❌ Terlalu malam (>21.00) → teh hijau dan hitam masih mengandung kafein ringan, bisa mengganggu tidur.
π©Ί 3. Tips khusus untuk kamu (kolesterol 258)
πΏ Green tea (tanpa gula, 2 jam setelah makan) membantu menurunkan LDL.
πΏ Oolong tea membantu pembakaran lemak.
πΏ Avoid milk tea atau teh tarik — susu kental manis + gula justru menaikkan kolesterol.
πΏ Minum air putih dulu sebelum teh supaya tidak bikin perut “kering”.
For me it's better not to drink tea or coffee except green tea and it's 2 hours after meal?
Yes π― that’s a very good choice — and you understood it perfectly.
Here’s why:
πΏ Tea & Coffee (black, oolong, milk tea, etc.)
-
Contain tannins and caffeine that bind with iron and minerals, making them harder for your body to absorb — especially if you drink them right after eating.
-
That’s why people with anemia, thyroid issues, or fatigue are usually told to avoid tea or coffee immediately after meals.
π΅ Green Tea
-
Has fewer tannins and slightly less caffeine.
-
It’s gentler on the stomach and has antioxidants (catechins) that can actually help metabolism and reduce inflammation.
-
Best time: 1.5–2 hours after meals — when your body has absorbed most nutrients.
So your rule works perfectly:
✅ Green tea only
✅ 1.5–2 hours after meals
π« Avoid black tea or coffee right after eating
That helps protect your iron levels, thyroid balance, and digestion.
Then why Japanese drink green tea after eating?
πΏπ΅— the Japanese (and also Chinese and Korean) often drink green tea after meals, and it doesn’t seem to harm them. The reason lies in how, what kind, and how much they drink — plus their overall diet and habits. Let’s unpack it π
π―π΅ 1. They drink small amounts — like a ritual, not a big mug
Japanese people usually drink a small cup (50–100 ml) of green tea after eating — not a large Western-style mug.
That small portion gives antioxidants and a light digestive effect, but the tannin amount is too little to significantly block iron.
π 2. Their meals are already iron-balanced
Typical Japanese meals include:
-
Fish, seafood, seaweed → high in heme iron and iodine
-
Fermented foods like miso, natto → improve mineral absorption
-
Vegetables and vitamin C sources (like daikon, pickled plum, or yuzu)
So even if green tea slightly reduces iron absorption, their overall nutrition still supports good iron and thyroid function.
π 3. They often add vitamin C naturally
Japanese green tea (sencha) itself contains some vitamin C, unlike black tea which has almost none.
That vitamin C partly cancels out the tannin effect — so their tea is less likely to block iron compared to strong black tea.
π―️ 4. Digestive and calming purpose
After meals, the Japanese drink tea mainly to:
-
Cleanse the palate
-
Aid digestion
-
Create a calm, mindful end to the meal
It’s a small, warm, relaxing ritual — not a caffeine-heavy drink.
πΏ So what you can learn from them:
✅ If you want to drink tea after eating —
-
Keep it light (small cup, not strong brew)
-
Choose green tea or matcha, not black tea
-
Add a few drops of lemon or have fruit with vitamin C
-
Avoid doing it every meal if your iron is already low
When is the best time to drink tea ☕π΅
πΏ — the best time to drink tea depends on why you’re drinking it (for energy, relaxation, or digestion), but here’s a clear guide so you can enjoy it without blocking iron or disturbing sleep π
π΅ If you drink tea for energy (green or black tea)
✅ Best time:
-
Mid-morning: about 1.5–2 hours after breakfast
-
Mid-afternoon: about 2 hours after lunch
These times give you a gentle caffeine boost without affecting iron absorption from meals.
You’ll also avoid the late-day caffeine crash that can disturb your sleep.
π« Avoid:
-
During meals
-
Right after eating (within 30–60 min)
-
After 5 p.m. if you’re sensitive to caffeine
πΏ If you drink tea for relaxation (herbal or caffeine-free)
✅ Best time:
-
Evening (after dinner) or before bed — choose calming teas like chamomile, tulsi, lemongrass, or lavender.
These have no tannins and actually help digestion and sleep.
π Pro tip to protect your iron
Whenever you enjoy regular black or green tea:
-
Add a squeeze of lemon or drink it with a vitamin C snack (like guava or orange).
That neutralizes some tannins and keeps your iron absorption healthy.
So in short:
π°️ Drink tea between meals — not with meals — ideally mid-morning or mid-afternoon.
Tea after eating isn't good?
Exactly — yes π΅π« tea right after eating isn’t ideal, especially if you drink it every day.
Here’s why π
π§ͺ The Science Behind It
Tea (black, green, oolong) contains tannins and polyphenols — these are natural antioxidants, which are healthy in moderation.
However, they have a side effect: they bind to iron and some minerals (like zinc and calcium) in your food and form compounds your body can’t absorb.
So when you drink tea right after a meal, you block your body from absorbing much of the iron — especially the non-heme iron from vegetables, tofu, and beans.
Over time, this can quietly cause iron deficiency and fatigue — which explains your long sleeping hours lately.
⏰ Better Timing
✅ Best time for tea:
-
1.5 to 2 hours after a meal
→ by then, your body has already absorbed most of the iron. -
Or, drink tea between meals, as a light refreshment.
π« Avoid:
-
Drinking tea with your meal
-
Drinking it right after eating (within 30 minutes)
π How to Lessen the Effect
If you love tea (like many of us do ❤️), try these small tweaks:
-
Add lemon or lime juice — the vitamin C helps protect iron absorption.
-
Pair your meal with fruits high in vitamin C (guava, orange, papaya, strawberry).
-
Switch sometimes to herbal teas that don’t contain tannins — such as ginger, chamomile, lemongrass, rosella, or tulsi.
So yes — tea is healthy, but timing matters.
If you’ve been drinking it right after eating for weeks or months, your body might have quietly lost some iron, leading to tiredness or oversleeping.
Recently i drink tea everyday..
— π΅✨ Drinking tea every day, especially black tea or green tea, can reduce your body’s iron absorption — particularly if you drink it near mealtime.
Here’s how it works π
π§ͺ What Happens in the Body
Tea (especially black and green tea) contains tannins — natural compounds that bind to iron in your food.
When tannins attach to iron, your body can’t absorb it well through the gut.
So even if you eat iron-rich food like spinach, eggs, or beef, a cup of tea can block up to 60–70% of that iron from being absorbed.
Over time, this can quietly cause iron deficiency or mild anemia, especially if:
-
You drink tea right after or during meals
-
You don’t eat much red meat or high-iron foods
-
You’ve had menstrual blood loss each month
-
You’re feeling more tired or sleeping longer lately
π°️ What You Can Do
You don’t have to quit tea completely (it has good antioxidants too!), just adjust the timing ⏱️
✅ Best practice:
-
Drink tea 1.5–2 hours after meals, not right with or right after eating.
-
On days you eat iron-rich meals (like red meat or leafy greens), skip tea temporarily or have it later.
-
Add a bit of lemon or vitamin C to meals — it helps counteract tannins and boosts iron absorption.
π Bonus tip
If you still want a warm drink with meals:
-
Try lemon water, ginger tea, or rosella/hibiscus tea — these don’t block iron.
-
You can also add a splash of lemon juice to your tea — that reduces tannin effect slightly.
Given your long sleep and recent daily tea habit, it’s very possible your body is showing early iron depletion.
If you balance your iron intake and shift your tea timing, you might start noticing:
-
Needing less sleep
-
Brighter skin tone
-
More natural energy during the day
