i make it a point that i will have a cup of tea every after meal. i believe it can help my body relax and activate my mind because i feel sleepy sometimes after i eat. lol! the reason for that is, when you eat all muscles worked though eating may be a very simple task. by drinking tea i'm sure that i'm mentally active and i contributed to the digestion, since tea is hot it will help melt the fats from the food i take easily.

I do drink hot tea before and after meals to aid my stomach's digestion and help me relax. I've been a tea drinker for more than 5 years now and I've already stopped drinking coffee. I prefer peppermint tea and my 2nd preference is green tea. But if they're not available, any flavor of hot tea will do.

Hi , will i have studied once in college subject cold educational food something like that and they tought us that drinking hot tea after a mael is not good for the stomach because its prevents from absorbing the iron in your body so it would be better if you drink it after 2hr of your mael .:)

I too like to drink a cuppa of tea after my meals. Its a nice way to relax after a meal and chat and let your meal go slowly down before you have to do the dishes

I don`t drink tea ever after meal but sometimes. You are right it can help your body a lot and different sorts of tea are specially made to solve stomach aching and so on. I bought a sort last days it has lavender as one ingredient and shall help to relax my body. It works !
