In summer, many people like to brew a pot of tea at home and drink it eagerly when they return from work or at noon. It feels really refreshing. The editor has also done such things sometimes to cool down. Drinking tea to relieve summer heat is a good choice, but tea can be both beneficial and harmful. Especially in summer, drinking tea on an empty stomach can cause significant harm to oneself.

There is an old saying: "Drinking tea in the morning is like a thief entering a poor man's house." This is because the morning is also a time of fasting. Similarly, returning home after work is another fasting period. At such times, the stomach is empty. Drinking tea at this point will only dilute the gastric juices and reduce the function of stomach acid, thereby hindering the digestion of food entering the stomach.
