Milk Tea: The Surprising Combo To Combat Bloating And Boost Health

Struggling with bloating? While herbal remedies like hibiscus tea and ginger can help, green tea offers a more accessible solution that can easily be found nearly anywhere. Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, green tea is packed with antioxidants and compounds that can soothe the digestive system. Its mild diuretic and laxative effects also help flush out sodium and toxins, making it a go-to drink for relieving bloating.

But what about adding milk? Many people love the creamy texture milk provides in their beverages, so it’s natural to wonder if milk might undo the health benefits of green tea. The answer, according to nutritionist Leticia Carrera, is no—adding milk to green tea doesn’t reduce its beneficial properties, as long as the milk is of high quality.

In fact, new studies suggest that milk may even enhance the anti-inflammatory benefits of green tea. While earlier research raised concerns that milk might block the absorption of polyphenols (the antioxidants in tea), recent findings indicate that the proteins in cow’s milk could actually boost these effects.

For those avoiding dairy, matcha—a powdered form of green tea—may be an even better choice for maximizing antioxidant intake. Vegan milk alternatives like hazelnut or coconut milk can also provide anti-inflammatory benefits, making them a great option for non-dairy drinkers.

So, if you’re looking to swap your coffee for a lighter, healthier option, a creamy milk tea could be just the ticket to a less-bloated belly and a calmer digestive system.
