Due to its charming green color and its dirty taste, the Match Tea became a star in the menu in cafes and publications on social networks. But on the Internet, some people warn that Matha Sharba can expose herself to the risk of anemia.
“Match” – the type of ground green tea is an important element in Japanese cuisine for centuries. But this drink witnessed a significant increase in its popularity in the West in recent years; The United States is currently one of the largest importers of Matha around the world, and sales exceed 10 billion dollars over the past twenty -five years.
But now rumors are distributed to the “Tech Tuk” platform, which drinks “coincidence” of tea, can reduce iron level and even lead to anemia that occurs as a result of iron deficiency.
Even experts, depending on the Tek Tok, such as Dr. Kunal Court, indicated that “the use (coincidence) immediately after consumption of iron could reduce the absorption of iron.”
Does your favorite green drink subject you to anemia? This is what experts said about the relationship between the “coincidence” and the levels of iron.
What is a “match”?
Soft powder from a mac of leaves of dried green tea. Unlike normal tea, Mach powder facilitates the process of quick and mild confusion, without the need to absorb.
Despite the prevalence of tea or latte, you can find a “match” in all types of recipes and finished products, such as ice cream, cheese pie, pancakes and cookies.
Food, the “match” is rich in antioxidants and anti -inflammatory vegetables, and contains a “unique mixture of caffeine and L -Etnin”, which provides “quiet and targeted energy”, according to Sabna Peruvimba, a specialist in registered nutrition and graduate school in California.
She added to the journal Health: “Basically, (the match) offers a good batch of energy, not feeling nervous or inaction that you can feel when consuming coffee.”
Peruvimus added that the teaspoon of “coincidences” of the powder contains from 70 to 80 milligrams of caffeine, which is a typical amount used in one cup of tea. One cup of coffee contains about 90 milligrams of caffeine.
How does a “coincidence” affect the level of iron?
Anxiety about the “match” and iron is associated with one of the vehicles in powder: Tanins or Tanin.
Tanges are one of many types of antioxidants in “coincidence”, and it is studied for its potential role in the prevention of diseases such as cancer.
Nevertheless, tannins also prevent the body’s ability to absorb iron, which increases the risk of anemia of iron deficiency. This condition can cause symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, headache, shortness of breath and others.
“Match” is not the only source of food for Tanins, since it is also present in chocolate, in some green leafy vegetables, coffee and other types of tea and nuts. But Tanins are especially concentrated in the powder of “coincidences”. The previous study showed that the concentration of one of the tannin, which is EGCG, was, for example, 137 times higher in “coincidence” in ordinary green tea.
This means that there is a little health of the theory of Tik Talk users about the problems of the “match” and iron, such as Kirby Daily, who has a master’s science and a specialized feeder, and the director of the Olympic food department at the University of Memphi (who is a fan of the match).
She told the HEALTH magazine: “The match itself) does not cause anemia of iron deficiency. But this can affect the ability of the body to effectively absorb iron, if there are before meals very soon. ”
She explained that the use of “coincidences” with (or after) food rich in iron directly reduces its vital accessibility, or the body is difficult to absorb it in the digestive system.
This means that if tea is eaten in large quantities, this can lead to low iron levels over time.
Nevertheless, Peruvimba said that the “matching” effect on the level of iron will probably be minimal for most healthy people. The use of green tea is rarely associated with high indicators of anemia of iron deficiency.
But Peruvim warned that if you are more likely to develop anemia of iron deficiency, you may need to be more careful. This includes pregnant and nursing women, recovery after operations, vegetarians and people with digestive diseases.
How do you eat “coincidence” without reducing the level of iron?
Food “Coincidence” often depends on time.
Daily said: “Drink (match) with food or immediately after me, it has a stronger effect on the absorption of iron compared to its use between meals. I recommend leaving an hour or two, at least between your meal or iron additives, and take (coincide).
Of course, the number and type of “coincidence” that you consume are also important.
“For example, Mattha ice cream contains a very low percentage of real correspondence compared to the use of Matta tea,” – Megan Berd, food specialist and the Coffee Cubkat blog Foundation. The higher the number of matches consumed daily, the more alleged risks. “
For this reason, Berd recommends not to eat more than one cup of the “match” daily for those who are concerned about its level of iron.
