Can I have tea when I eat sweet potatoes?

You can't drink tea when you eat sweet potatoes.

Because tea is alkaline, eating it together will destroy anthocyanins in purple sweet potatoes. The advantage of purple potato over sweet potato lies in anthocyanin, which is a natural anti-aging nutritional supplement.

Studies have proved that it is the most effective antioxidant discovered by human beings today, and its antioxidant performance is 50 times higher than that of vitamin E and 20 times higher than that of vitamin C. Sweet potato contains an oxidase, which easily produces a large amount of carbon dioxide gas in human gastrointestinal tract. Eating too much sweet potato will make people bloat, burp and fart.

Extended data:

Sweet potato should be eaten with fruit and at lunch.

Sweet potato lacks protein and lipids, so it should be eaten with vegetables, fruits and protein foods to avoid nutritional imbalance. Most importantly, sweet potatoes are best eaten at the prime time of lunch. This is because after we eat sweet potatoes, the calcium contained in them needs to be absorbed in the human body for 4 to 5 hours, and the afternoon sunshine can just promote the absorption of calcium. In this case, eating sweet potatoes for lunch can completely absorb calcium before dinner, and it will not affect the absorption of calcium in other foods at dinner.
