Disadvantages of drinking tea a lot
1- Lack of iron absorption in the body
Tea is one of the sources rich in compounds called tannin, which disrupt the body’s ability to absorb iron from foods, and then a decrease in the proportion of iron occurs, and the person suffers from anemia and weakness.
2-Increased levels of stress and nervousness
Excessive tea consumption leads to a feeling of tension, discomfort and increased nervousness, due to the caffeine in it, knowing that black tea contains more caffeine than other types of tea.
3-sleep problems
Caffeine affects the sleep cycle, as it inhibits the secretion of the hormone melatonin, which signals the body that it is time to sleep and rest.
When the secretion of this hormone in the body is disrupted by the caffeine in tea, insomnia and the inability to sleep deeply occur.
4-stomach acidity
Caffeine stimulates stomach acid and makes it rise into the esophagus strongly, causing a feeling of burning and discomfort, so doctors advise heartburn patients to reduce tea and caffeinated drinks as much as possible.

5-Continuous headache
It is known that drinking tea may relieve some types of headaches, but excessive consumption of it may lead to the opposite results, as it makes the headache continuous and severe due to the increase in the amount of caffeine in the body beyond the recommended limit (less than 100 milligrams per day).
6-Feeling dizzy
If a person drinks about 6-12 cups of tea a day, this may lead to a feeling of dizziness and imbalance, because the body at this time will get a very high percentage of caffeine, which is estimated at about 400-500 milligrams.
