As it is made from unoxidized tea leaves and is less processed, green tea contains the most\u00a0antioxidants\u00a0of any tea. It has anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic effects, thanks to the natural chemicals called polyphenols present in green tea. Plus, it contains a host of micronutrients such as zinc, manganese, and vitamins A, B, and C.\u00a0Also Read &#8211;\u00a05 benefits of drinking cucumber mint tea<\/p>\n<p>There is no denying that\u00a0green tea\u00a0is extremely good for you, but too much of it can do more harm than good. Health experts suggest limiting the consumption of green tea to just a couple of cups per day. If you\u2019re a heavy green tea drinker, stick to no more than 5 cups per day. Here are some warning signs that indicate you are having more green tea than needed.\u00a0Also Read &#8211;\u00a0Start your day with jeera water to improve your health and keep diseases at bay<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Heart Palpitations And High Blood Pressure<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Though green tea contains less caffeine than coffee, it is enough to produce an effect if you\u2019re consuming several cups per day. Too much caffeine can cause heart palpitations and even elevated\u00a0blood pressure.\u00a0This can be dangerous for people with a heart condition.\u00a0Also Read &#8211;\u00a0Get rid of belly bloat with these 5 refreshing drinks<\/p>\n<p>So, limit green tea consumption if you have hypertension, cardiovascular disease or any other medical condition to prevent potential complications.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Increased Stress And Anxiety<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A cup of green tea may help you unwind after a stressful day, thanks to its soothing properties. However, drinking several cups of green tea per day may leave you even more stressed. This is because\u00a0too much caffeine\u00a0in your bloodstream can trigger your adrenal glands to produce more of the stress hormones norepinephrine, adrenaline, and cortisol.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Iron-Deficiency Anemia<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Green tea when consumed in large quantities can interfere with iron absorption from foods and can lead to\u00a0iron-deficiency anemia, a blood condition characterized by having insufficient red blood cells or RBCs.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is the reason why health experts strongly discourage the intake of green tea right after having a meal. If you have iron-deficiency anemia, you may experience fatigue, dizziness, pale skin, cold hands and feet, chest pain,\u00a0shortness of breath,\u00a0and a rapid heart rate.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Upset Stomach And Diarrhea<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Green tea also contains tannins, which are plant-based compounds possessing astringent properties and are capable of shrinking some of the tissues in your body. Too much of these compounds in the body can cause mouth dryness, nausea, and an upset stomach.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, the laxative properties of caffeine can leave you with\u00a0diarrhea\u00a0if you\u2019re drinking several cups of green tea per day. A prolonged bout of diarrhea or vomiting can then result is dehydration. Severe dehydration can affect your kidney function.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Sleep Problem<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Excess caffeine from green tea can make it more difficult to fall asleep. Drinking green tea before bedtime may also make you want to pee at night, which can interrupt your sleep, and leave you feeling tired in the morning. They can affect your performance at work and impair your ability to perform daily activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5495,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[3575,1876,1812,3573,3576,2375,3574],"class_list":["post-5494","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-antioxidants","tag-drinking","tag-green-tea","tag-healthiest","tag-medicinal","tag-side-effects","tag-unoxidized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
