Why Tea is Not Good for Health

You might have probably heard many times that tea is not good for your health. Well, that’s true only if you drink an excessive amount of Tea. Anything in excess is always bad for health. Tea is the most consumed beverage in the world after water. If consumed in the right way, it can help improve your immunity and health.

Chai

Here are a few reasons why tea is not good for health:

1. Increased Anxiety and Acidity after consumption of Tea

Tea contains caffeine. A little more than coffee. But when consumed in the right amount, 1 cup of tea will have lesser caffeine than 1 cup of coffee. Researchers say that if you consume too much tea, it can lead to increased anxiety levels and also cause acidity. Limit your intake of tea to a max of 3-4 cups in a day to avoid anxiety and acidity.

2. Poor Sleep Cycle after drinking Tea

Poor sleep can be caused due to different mental health issues like overthinking, stressing, etc. Although drinking tea helps release stress, excessive consumption of tea before bed can harm the sleep cycle as it has caffeine in it. If you limit the consumption of tea before bed, it will help in getting good sleep. Drinking caffeine-free tea like chamomile tea can help get a better sleep.

3. Dehydration and constipation due to Tea

Caffeine reduces the ability of absorption of tubules present in the kidney, resulting in dehydration. If you drink too many cups of tea in a day, it can leave you dehydrated and also further lead to constipation.

4. Tea increases Blood Pressure (BP)

You will usually hear people say that tea can increase blood pressure. This is because of the caffeine in the tea. If you drink a cup of kadak chai, it can be a cause for BP. But if you switch to black or green tea, studies have proven that it can help lower your blood pressure.

To summarize, I would say, over consumption of Tea or Chai can cause a lot of health issues. Instead switch to mindfully drinking tea, i.e. 3-4 cups of tea that include both Chai and Herbal Teas. There are a plethora of teas available today that can help increase your immunity, lower blood pressure, help get good sleep, etc.

#NotSponsored I had an incredible experience at @t #NotSponsored I had an incredible experience at @tamizhantfun in Thane. This authentic Tamil food restaurant truly impressed me with its wide range of delicious dishes. From the mouthwatering adai to the refreshing lemon sevai, and the comforting bisi bele bhaat to the delightful traditional Tamil thali, every bite was a delightful journey through Tamil cuisine.

What sets Tamizhan-T Fun apart, besides its fantastic food, is the affordability. The prices are incredibly reasonable, making it a great place to enjoy authentic Tamil flavors without breaking the bank. Plus, their portion sizes are generous, ensuring you leave with a satisfied appetite.

The friendly staff and the owner's personal touch added to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. It's not just a meal; it's an experience. The owner's recommendations from the menu were spot on, guiding us to some hidden culinary gems.

Tamizhan-T Fun's presence in two locations, Hiranandani Estate and Kolshet Road in Thane, makes it accessible to a broader audience. Whether you're a Tamil cuisine enthusiast or just looking for a memorable dining experience, I highly recommend Tamizhan-T Fun. It's a culinary journey that you won't want to miss.

Please don't judge my Marathi accent, I am a non-m Please don't judge my Marathi accent, I am a non-maharashtrian! 

If you're craving authentic Maharashtrian cuisine in Thane, look no further than shraavan_pure_veg_resto !

 The culinary delights and their service are exceptional. I had the Thalipeeth with Loni, Vada with Kadhi along with Karvanda and Kokum Sharbat.

For the main course I relished their Maharashtrian Thali, and Masale Bhaat meal. 

To end with, I had Ukdicha Modak that was served along with warm Ghee. 

The affordability of the menu is truly commendable. Don't miss out on the Karvade cha Sharbat and Ukdicha Modak – they're absolute must-tries at this spot!

I had an amazing experience at @ishaaraindia in Pa I had an amazing experience at @ishaaraindia in Palladium Mall! Their unique concept of servers communicating in sign language added a special touch to our brunch on weekends.

Starting with classic favorites like Pani Puri and papdi chaat was a delight. The array of tikkis, including nadru ki tikki, paneer lahori tikki, and water chestnut tikki for veg, and amritsari fish tikka, dungar chicken tikka, and more for non-veg, were incredibly flavorful.

The main course offered a variety of options like exotic vegetables salan jaipuri, paneer makhani, and butter chicken that satisfied our taste buds.

And I must say, their biryani was a true highlight – it was absolutely delicious!

To end our meal on a sweet note, we enjoyed a hearty dessert while expressing our gratitude to the servers through ishaare. It was not just a meal but a memorable experience at Ishaara. Highly recommended!

On my recent trip to Vietnam, I came across a frui On my recent trip to Vietnam, I came across a fruit named Artichoke. It is widely grown in the central region of Vietnam in Dalat. This fruit is used in soups, pickles, meat dishes, desserts, and in many other forms. One very common and popular use of artichokes is to make tea. It is known to be a refreshing and energizing drink. 

Artichoke Tea is made with dried leaves, roots, and fruit of the Artichoke plant. Or either way, you can also make it by steeping the fresh leaf, root, and fruit. You can make your tea or buy readymade tea bags. 

Artichoke is known to be a powerhouse of nutrients as it is high in fiber, B-complex vitamins, folate, iron, magnesium, and potassium. Here are a few benefits of drinking artichoke tea regularly:

1. Can help boost immunity
2. Can help relieve anxiety
3. Has anti-ageing properties

#NotSponsored So, I recently went to this super co #NotSponsored So, I recently went to this super cool spot called Poult at the Phoenix Mall, and let me tell you, the food there is on point!

First up, I tried their Veg Roesti Burger and oh my goodness, it was so good! The potato patty was crispy with a layer of caramelized onions. Plus, they loaded it up with mayonnaise and fresh greens that added a nice crunch. Honestly, I couldn't get enough of it!

But wait, the real star of the show were the peri peri fries. Let me just say, these fries are out of this world! They were perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of spice and had this incredible crispy exterior. Trust me when I say, these fries are a must-try!

I know there are tons of places out there claiming to have the best fries ever, but Poult really lives up to that title. 

So, if you're ever at Phoenix Mall and looking for some delicious food, make sure to swing by Poult.
