The hectic lifestyle of today has drastically changed people's daily routines. In these situations, healthy diets are frequently disregarded, and tea has become a necessary component of everyday life. Many people drink tea not only once a day but several times. Although this can offer short-term stress alleviation, there could be major negative health consequences.
 
In many families, additional tea is made and reheated as needed. But this behavior is very dangerous. Senior dietician Preeti Pandey of Apollo Medics Super Speciality Hospital in lucknow describes the harmful effects of consuming reheated tea regularly:

The dietitian claims that the majority of indians start their days with tea. However, many people make a big amount of tea at once and reheat it throughout the day rather than making new tea several times. There are health risks associated with this practice.
 
Reheating tea changes its flavor and scent, as Preeti Pandey points out. Furthermore, reheating tea drastically lowers its nutritious content.
 
Tea that has been cooked for a long time is particularly dangerous to drink. When tea sits for too long, microorganisms begin to proliferate. health can be negatively impacted by certain germs. This is especially problematic for milk-based tea since the high milk component creates the perfect conditions for microbial development.
 
Herbal tea loses all of its nutrients when it is heated again. Such tea consumption may result in gastrointestinal distress, such as bloating and pain.
 
Many people who drink milk tea often may also get dehydrated. Tea's caffeine makes it harder for the body to hold onto water, which leads to dehydration.
 
Skin issues like acne can also arise from consuming too much milk tea after it has been reheated. Tea can aid in the body's detoxification when consumed in moderation, but too much of it might have harmful consequences.

Best Practices for Drinking Tea.
 
Tea might interfere with sleep cycles, so avoid drinking it later in the day. Tea use in moderation and at the appropriate time is unlikely to result in any issues. Uncontrolled use, however, can result in problems including lack of sleep and general health decline.
 
The body is not seriously harmed by reheating tea within 15 minutes of brewing. Reheating it beyond this point, however, is dangerous. Tea should be consumed within 15 minutes after preparation or as soon as it is newly made.
