Tea & Biscuits: A Harmful Combo? Experts Warn Against Popular Snack
- •The common snack of tea and biscuits is considered 'Viruddha Aahar' (incompatible food) in Ayurveda and modern nutrition science.
- •Tea is hot and stimulating, containing caffeine, which hinders iron absorption; biscuits contain refined flour, sugar, and trans fats, making them hard to digest.
- •Eating soft, quickly consumed biscuits with hot tea strains digestion, leading to acidity, gas, and indigestion.
- •The combination of tea's caffeine and biscuit's sugar causes blood sugar spikes, followed by fatigue and increased cravings, and can raise cholesterol.
- •Ayurveda states this combo imbalances Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas, leading to lethargy, skin issues, weight gain, and accumulation of belly fat.
Why It Matters: The popular tea and biscuit snack is an unhealthy combination that can harm digestion and overall health.
