Nutritionist Elena Solomatina spoke about what exactly contributes to the leaching of iron from the body.
According to the expert, we are talking about simple tea drunk after a meal.
The specialist explained: “You shouldn’t drink tea with your food, otherwise your body simply won’t absorb the iron,” as reported by the Nord-News portal.
According to Solomatina, tea should be drunk 40 minutes after eating.
In addition, the expert warned against the habit of adding milk or cream to tea.
This method of consuming this drink results in the body being deprived of the ability to absorb antioxidants.
The doctor also revealed the safe daily dosage of tea for an adult.
So, in particular, adults need to drink approximately 400 milliliters of this drink per day. It is best to enjoy it in the first half of the day.
