Mr. Vuong is over 60 years old, living with his family in Zhejiang, China.From a young age he had a habit of drinking tea.When retired, he was warned by the doctor to a slightly high blood fat index, although he had not yet formed a pathology, he should still be careful.Since then, he takes more tea to learn that it is good for reducing blood fat, preventing cardiovascular disease, fighting cancer and many other effects.

However, Mr. Vuong could not expect the habit of thinking that this health was a source of illness that made him suffer from many illnesses.Even undergoing 7 surgeries, especially cutting half of the liver.

According to him, I often dull abdominal pain and fatigue, anorexia for a few months.After that, the abdominal pain peaked at an evening with a fever above 39 degrees Celsius. At 22:00 that day, the family members called the ambulance to take him to the local hospital.

After the examination, he discovered that he had a bile duct stones in the liver accompanied by an obstructed acute cholecitis.Dr. Shen Gongshe said:“The patient's condition is particularly complicated.Stones are not only distributed in bile ducts outside the liver, but also spread to the bile ducts in the liver.Each time the stone attacks, accompanied by intense abdominal pain, bloating, high fever, chills.

Due to the late hospital, there were signs of serious biliary tract infection.Not to mention, the patient has a history of hepatitis and is old.Patients are in danger of life and need emergency surgery to clear bile duct obstruction and smooth circulation. ”

Finally, Mr. Vuong had to undergo a total of 7 surgery to perform: gallbladder cutting, cholesterolic pipe lithotropy, cutting bile and cutting half of the left liver.Fortunately, the surgery was successful, his condition was gradually recovering.

4 mistakes when drinking tea causing illness but many people make

Tea itself is a healthy drink, but it is if we drink in moderation and properly.In the case of Mr. Vuong, he made 3 of the 4 most common mistakes when drinking tea, which can cause many diseases for humans.These four mistakes include:

- Drink tea wrong time.For example: When hungry, immediately after eating, before going to bed ...

- Drink too much tea, even drink tea instead of water.

- Drink too thick tea.

- Drinking too hot tea, especially over 60 degrees C.

Mr. Vuong made the first 3 mistakes mentioned above for many years, leading to gallstones and liver problems.Specifically, he thinks that tea is more good for health, so the more dense and the more it will be, the more the effect of reducing blood fat.He drank tea at many times of the day, especially right after the evening.

Meanwhile, Dr. Shen Gongshe explained that:“Concentrated tea contains high levels of caffeine and theophyllline.Drinking too much for a long time will stimulate the secretion of bile and increase the burden on the bile system, thereby causing or aggravating the formation of gallstones.It also enhances the elimination of calcium oxalate, increases the risk of gallstones, kidney stones, stomach stones ...

Drinking special tea, especially drinking too much, can cause harm to the liver in many ways.For example, increasing the burden on the liver due to high caffeine metabolism, long -term vulnerability.Consuming too much polyphenols can cause inflammation or toxicity of liver toxicity.This habit also hindered iron absorption of too many tannins from tea, for a long time to impair liver function.Floride in solid tea can cause liver damage if accumulated too much. ”

In addition, Dr. Shen also reminded not to drink tea immediately after eating, whether it is solid or regular tea.It will cause indigestion, obstructing nutrition absorption (especially iron and protein), increasing the risk of acid reflux ... It is best to drink moderate tea, after meals 30-60 minutes.Also never drink hot tea more than 60 degrees C because it can cause burns and increase the risk of esophageal cancer, stomach cancer.
