But did you know that this habit often comes with little-known health risks?

Drinking tea immediately after eating iron-rich foods, such as red meat and green leafy vegetables, can increase the risk of nutrient deficiency, according to pharmacist Deborah Grayson, a nutritional therapist working in the UK, according to the Daily Mail.

Many people are still used to drinking tea during or right after meals.

Chemicals in tea can prevent the body from absorbing iron - a mineral essential for transporting oxygen around the body, providing energy and boosting the immune system.

Always drinking tea right after a meal can cause anemia, says expert Grayson.

So, it's best to drink tea 1 hour before or after meals to ensure optimal iron absorption, according to health news site Only My Health.

Foods that are taboo with tea

Foods that should not be combined with tea include:

Iron-rich foods. Tea contains tannins and oxalates that can inhibit the absorption of iron, especially non-heme iron found in plant foods like spinach, broccoli, kale, beans, and nuts. It’s best to avoid drinking tea right after consuming these foods and other iron-rich meals like beef, according to Only My Health.

Drinking tea immediately after eating certain iron-rich foods, such as red meat and green leafy vegetables, may increase the risk of developing a nutrient deficiency.

Studies have found that chemicals in tea — such as tannins, oxalates, and even polyphenols — can block iron absorption.

Foods high in fiber. Raw vegetables, whole grains, and beans are rich in fiber, which is essential to a healthy diet. However, when consumed with tea, they can interfere with iron absorption. Tea contains oxalates, which can bind to minerals and prevent iron absorption.

Additionally, the acid in citrus fruits can also upset your stomach when combined with tea, leading to indigestion. Capsaicin in chili peppers when combined with tannins in tea can irritate your stomach, according to Only My Health.
