How often can I drink green tea?
For green tea, the leaf of the Camelia Sinensis shrub is practically not processed, preserving its entire natural biological composition. That is why the finished tea infusion contains a huge amount of biochemical substances that have a direct impact on the functioning of the body's vital systems.
Green tea has:
- caffeine;
- antioxidants and tocopherols;
- polyphenol compounds;
- vitamins C, P, group B;
- proteins and amino acids;
- essential oils;
- minerals and trace elements.
If caffeine in coffee sharply stimulates the cardiovascular system, then thein (caffeine associated with tannin) in tea invigorates and tones much softer, but the effect of its action is longer. Moreover, thein does not cause drowsiness some time after a cup of coffee, like caffeine.
The effect of vitamin P, which strengthens the walls of blood vessels, as well as antioxidants that neutralize free radicals, is also clearly expressed. More than 15 amino acids and a considerable amount of plant protein were found in the unfermented tea leaf. important components of muscle mass.
But all is well in moderation, including green tea .
Safe daily allowance of natural caffeine stimulant & ndash; 1000 mg, and the recommended one-time & ndash; up to 400 mg. In each variety of green tea, as well as depending on the brewing technology and water temperature, the amount of caffeine varies, however, the average value in one cup & ndash; about 40-70 mg. Based on this, you can drink up to 12 cups of green tea per day, but it is recommended to stop at 4-8.
Limitations and contraindications
There are no contraindications to the use of green tea, because this is not a medicine, but a tea drink. But due to the large number of biologically active components, there may be restrictions in use.
It is recommended to watch out and limit yourself to one to three cups of green tea per day:
- pregnant women,
- women during lactation,

Expert Opinion
Hot and cold infusions of green tea work differently.
A cup of warm tea brewed with water at a temperature of 80-85 degrees, especially with the addition of ginger, mint or lemon balm, dilates blood vessels and accelerates blood flow, so such an infusion is suitable as a preventive agent at elevated pressure.
And under reduced conditions, you can drink cool tea with lemon or jasmine. But instant therapeutic results from drinking green tea should not be expected, it rather acts as a light preventive drink.
The most important thing is to drink high quality varietal green tea.
It contains useful substances that, during extraction, saturate the infusion and affect the work of the body.
And, if the therapeutic effects of green tea have not yet been reliably studied and do not have irrefutable scientific evidence, then the online store where you can buy natural products is tested and widely known.
