Tea is a daily ritual for a very big population of India, not just once but multiple times a day. Another thing that we happen to take with everyday chai is biscuits. But research shows that this pairing can be very harmful for your body. This combination might silently be killing your digestive system and here is all you need to know about it. Recently, talking about most Indians’ snack time, Dr. Prashant Desai, a trained health coach and longevity biohacker from Stanford spoke about chai combos that one to run away from and why pairing the right thing with your chai time is of utmost importance. Snacks you should avoid with tea While tea with a little sugar is not that big a cause of concern, the real problem is tea’s hidden enemies. These are biscuits. They are made up of palm oil, refined flour, and tons of sugar. When you eat them, they are basically entering a black hole, where they go into your stomach, crack down your digestive and metabolic systems and make you feel hungry within an hour by triggering cravings. But that’s not all, there’s another beloved food item that’s actually the enemy of your chai time. This is samosa, as it is made with refined flour. Drinking tea with samosa causes heavy acidity, gut problems and digestive issues. At the same time, pairing chai with sweets or consuming it with other fried snacks adds too many calories to your system all at once and your gut finds it difficult to handle it and you can feel the effect almost immediately. Healthy options So, do you have to have your tea alone in complete solitude not paired with anything? Not at all. There are healthier options you can go for like peanuts, almonds, roasted chickpeas and even roasted foxnuts. These are the perfect companions for your perfect chai time and not its enemies.
