Can people with stomach acid drink tea?

Gastric acid is a common problem, but the occurrence of these gastrointestinal diseases will have adverse effects on our health and life, so reasonable treatment and improvement are needed. In fact, people with gastric acid are advised not to drink too strong tea, but drinking light tea in moderation will not have any effect.

1. People with excessive stomach acid should try not to drink too strong tea, but light tea is fine. Because the bioalkali in tea can reduce the activity of phosphodiesterase which can inhibit the secretion of gastric acid by gastric parietal cells, causing the gastric parietal cells to secrete more gastric acid, which is not good for your health.

2. Drink tea half an hour after a meal. Do not drink tea while eating. If you drink tea while eating, it is best to eat some fruit or take vitamin C tablets after the meal. This can increase the body's absorption of iron. Green tea itself is rich in vitamin C and has little effect on the absorption of iron, so you can drink more of it. Avoid drinking tea on an empty stomach. Drinking tea on an empty stomach will cause the tea to enter the lungs and damage the spleen and stomach. Drinking tea on an empty stomach before meals will dilute the saliva and gastric juice, making food taste bland and reducing the digestive organs' ability to absorb protein.

3. In addition, do not eat too cold food, eat at regular times and in regular amounts, eat well in the morning, eat less at noon, and eat less at night. Only by developing good habits can the function of the stomach be gradually enhanced.
