Tea is one of the favorite drinks of many, but it is not healthy for young people to drink it, according to the leicestermercury site, Charlotte Stirling Reed, a nutritionist specializing in infant and young child nutrition, said: “It is not ideal to offer tea or coffee to any child under the age of five, and the main reason for this is that it contains caffeine. “.
Caffeine is considered one of the most prominent substances that affect the health of the body and increase the risk of disease, and she added: “Just because it is good for some people does not mean that it is for everyone. But we don’t know definitively, so it is best to avoid it. ”
Aside from the unknown effect of caffeine, it is not just the risk of tea, there is another component of tea that can affect children, and Charlotte explained: “There is also something in tea called tannis that affects iron intake and reduces it, iron-rich foods such as eggs and fish. It’s not something we really associate with young children, so if they drink tea regularly then the little iron they get will be affected, in a similar way, and I never advise adults to drink tea with a big lunch or meal either.
