I believe many friends have the habit of drinking tea in their daily lives, especially in Guangdong Province, where many people go to restaurants to have morning tea. Tea contains some beneficial substances for the human body. Some parents want to give their children some tea, but they are worried that their children are not suitable for drinking tea. So, can children drink tea water?
If a child is under six years old, they cannot drink tea water. Due to the immature physical development of children under six years old, tea contains classified derivatives, including caffeine, theophylline, and other substances. These substances can cause insomnia, overexcitement, frequent urination, and increased heart rate in children, which is not conducive to their physical development.
The substances contained in tea can also affect the absorption and digestion of proteins in the body, thereby affecting the normal development of children. Moreover, tea has a relatively cool nature, and if children drink too much, it can cause indigestion, especially for those with a cold constitution, they should not drink too much tea. If you often give your child tea, it is easy to suffer from iron deficiency anemia, so try not to give them tea.
However, the weather and climate vary in different regions, and the amount of tea consumed also varies. For example, in the northern regions where the weather is relatively dry, drinking more tea can replenish the body's moisture and also has the effect of clearing heat and reducing fire. If parents give their children tea, it must be appropriate and not excessive.
