Everyone knows the craze of tea in India, and it is an integral part of our country’s culture. At the same time, coffee is also gradually gaining popularity in the younger generation. But do you know how right it is to give tea or coffee to children? Often parents also give tea or coffee yellow to their young children, but doctors recommend taking care on it. Let us know that after which age it is safe to give tea or coffee.
The right age to give tea or coffee to children
According to health experts, children should be at least 14 years of age to give tea or coffee to children. At this age, the physical and mental development of children is happening rapidly. Tannins and caffeine present in tea and coffee can reduce calcium and other nutrients in the body of children, which can affect their growth. Even after this, children should be given tea or coffee in small amounts for 18 years.
Loss of tea or coffee
Many parents think of feeding the child during a cold, considering that it will get relief. But this is not correct. The tannin present in tea can weaken the teeth and bones of children, which affects their physical and mental health. At the same time, caffeine in coffee can increase stomach problems and affect children’s sleep, which negatively impacts their development.
