Golden honeysuckle has always been regarded as a health-preserving traditional Chinese medicine with the effect of clearing heat and detoxification. Friends who often drink tea should know that golden honeysuckle tea is especially effective when consumed in summer. However, there are a few situations where you should not drink golden honeysuckle tea. Let's take a look together!
1. Do not drink during menstruation and pregnancy
Golden honeysuckle tea is a cold tea, and women should keep their uterus warm during menstruation and pregnancy. Keeping the uterus warm is in line with the needs of women during this special period. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid drinking golden honeysuckle tea during this time.
2. Do not drink immediately after a meal
Drinking golden honeysuckle tea immediately after a meal is also a big taboo. After entering the stomach, tea dilutes the gastric juice, greatly weakening the digestion effect. If digestion is hindered, our nutrient absorption will naturally be affected. Therefore, we should avoid doing things that are harmful to our health.
3. Do not drink overnight golden honeysuckle tea
When drinking golden honeysuckle tea, it is best to prepare and drink the amount needed and preferably when it is warm. Overnight golden honeysuckle tea may have its components degraded after being left overnight, which is not beneficial to our health. Moreover, the taste of overnight golden honeysuckle tea is completely gone. In this case, how can it arouse our desire to drink it?
4. Do not drink too much at once
Although golden honeysuckle has good effects, health preservation is a gradual process. We should not rush for immediate results. Drinking a large amount of golden honeysuckle tea at once not only fails to achieve the health-preserving effect but may also harm our bodies.
Of course, as long as you avoid these taboos and drink golden honeysuckle tea correctly, it can still bring good health benefits to our bodies.
