Why you should never wash down meals with tea

People aged 65 and older who wash down meals with strong tea may face health problems. This method of drinking tea has a bad effect on the body's ability to absorb iron and zinc.

Irish scientists conducted a study using a large database of Irish citizens to examine how eating habits affect overall health, and the results were shocking, reports Eatthis.

The researchers recommend that older people drink tea only between meals to get the maximum amount of nutrients from food.

It is worth noting that iron and zinc are very important for our body. For example, zinc is known as the most common mineral that supports our immune system and helps our body heal. Iron, on the other hand, performs many important functions, such as supporting the immune system, producing energy, and carrying oxygen throughout the body.
