Is it good to drink a cup of tea or coffee after lunch immediately?
I don’t know that it will cause anemia..but caffeine in coffee and tea will affect your body’s ability to absorb certain nutrients from food when taken with or soon after a meal. It’s best to wait at least 1/2 hour after eating before drinking coffee/tea (or cola for that matter). Also of note, drinking alot of fluids while eating will dilute the digestive enzymes in your stomach and also interfere with proper digestion and assimilation of nutrients. Digestive enzymes are important because, along with the churning action of your stomach, they literally breakdown the food before it enters your small intestine. Hope this helps!
