What kind of tea is useful for children
The traditional drink for babies in Russia was considered to be sweetened water. And now even a baby is often given to drink water with sugar. It is probably caloric, but it inflates the tummy, which even in toddlers, even those that are naturally breastfed, often hurts. In addition, this leads to a destructive destruction of infant teeth. Sweet tea, according to the German pharmacist Peter Tice, grafts the baby a taste for sweet, which he will almost certainly retain for life. Is it good to be a sweet tooth?
For babies up to the year, who often have problems with the gastrointestinal tract, you can use plants that remove stomach cramps that promote the removal of gases: chamomile, spray, mint, fennel, etc.

It is known that tea promotes the absorption of oxygen entering the lungs, and quickly releases the body from carbon dioxide. As a result, there is an improvement in the process of oxygen supply to the vessels of the brain. They expand and, in turn, facilitate and deepen breathing, reduce muscle tension and excitability. Children who drink fresh tea develop better, learn the material at school well, and successfully learn a foreign language. This, apparently, is the result of the action of tea xanthines on the cerebral cortex. They provide an easy stimulating effect, provide a speed of thinking.
