Drinking tea in the morning, due to its theophylline content, can dehydrate stool and potentially lead to constipation, reducing the effectiveness of a healthy diet and exercise in preventing this issue.
Consuming tea as the initial morning beverage can hinder the absorption of other nutrients.
It’s worth noting that tea contains small amounts of nicotine, which could be a contributing factor to your sense of addiction to the beverage.
Overconsuming caffeine from tea may contribute to feelings of anxiety, stress, and restlessness which could last throughout the day.
