Green tea is a miracle for you body, but be careful with the side effects of it. This kind of tea has become the most popular beverage in the world, after water, of course.
We all probably know it’s miraculous effects, but not many of us are aware of it’s negative effects if not consumed properly.
Green tea is so popular because of it’s positive effects, being used for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, prevention of cancer, Alzheimer and Parkinson’s disease.
It also accelerates your metabolism and helps burning the fats in your organism. Let’s not forget about it’s result in the treating of cardiovascular diseases and rheumatoid arthritis.
This tea is amazing because it can be used in the treatment of chronic tiredness, and it’s helpful for concentration. If you need help when you have to study, drink green tea instead of coffee.
The effect is not as strong, but it lasts longer. And if you drink it on a regular basis, you’ll age slower. Pollution, cigarette smoke, exhaust gases, ultraviolet rays, they all have a contribution in our aging process, but green tea slows that down.
If you want green tea to have a maximum effect, leave it to infuse not longer than 3 minutes.
But pay attention to the side effects, which result from the high caffeine content. Usually, a cup of green tea contains 30 mg of caffeine. The rule is not to drink it excessively: 3-4 cups a day are more than enough.
If you drink more than 5-6 cups a day, it’s possible for you to have an unregular heartbeat, insomnia, dizziness, nausea, headaches, diarrhea and a loss of appetite.
More importantly, if you suffer from a heart disease, drinking green tea in high quantities can lead to side effects such as anxiety, panic attacks, renal diseases or stomach pain.
That's why i always drink Beer!
I am drinking too but beer has also a lot of negative effects :p
I know Ionut... it does also a lot of negative effects but I see only the positive and good ones when it comes to beer!😉

Ha, I'm currently drinking around 330mg caffeine per day.
If green tea has 30mg per cup, that would be.. around 11 cups per day.
I would need to pee quite much to get the current caffeine intake with only green tea.
I am drinking 3 coffees a day so I think it s enough caffeine

Top 5 benefits of Green Tea .
Check this out to better know about Green Tea benefits.
It Helps With Weight Loss
Green tea gives the metabolism a boost and it also reduces appetite a little. Tests have shown that green tea extract increases fat burning during exercise as well as giving a slight increase in energy output during the day. So it can help you lose weight, but only as part of an overall weight loss plan of healthy eating and exercise.
It Reduces The Risk Of Cardiovascular Disease And Stroke
The more green tea you drink the less likely you are to die from all causes, but this is especially true of cardiovascular disease and stroke. In tests the best results were seen in those who drank 5 or more cups per day; but even just one cup per day will have a positive effect.
Green tea helps to reduce your total and LDL cholesterol levels, whilst increasing HDL slightly. It also improves blood flow and platelet function, and so helps to prevent clotting (thrombosis) from occurring, which can lead to stroke.
EGCG and other polyphenol antioxidants can cross the blood-brain barrier to protect the brain from free radical damage. Tests have shown that drinking just one cup per day can have a very significant effect in this area.
Regular green tea consumption may also enhance memory and learning in people of all ages.
It Improves Dental Health
The catechin polyphenols in green tea have antibacterial properties, so it can help to prevent or reduce bad breath, plaque build-up and gum disease by killing the bacteria responsible for these conditions. It also increases the acid resistance of tooth enamel and helps to prevent tooth decay. And it can help to prevent food poisoning too.
. It May Reduce The Risk Of Certain Cancers
EGCG appears to inhibit the growth of cancer cells and so it may reduce the risk of developing certain cancers such as prostate, liver, oesophageal and colorectal cancers. And drinking 4 – 5 cups per day may slow down the development of these cancers. However research in this area is somewhat conflicting so you should not rely on this as a way to protect against cancer.
Apart from all this, green tea also helps to protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation, as well as improving skin elasticity. It helps protect against bone loss and rheumatoid arthritis. It improves immune function, and it slightly reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.

Love green tea and love coffee but with both the same rule applies, 3 cups a day tops!
Hello, interesting your post it is important to know the side effects of what we decided to include in our dietary routine, because as well as in most cases they represent healing effects, excessive consumption brings with it harmful effects for health.
Let's be alert and important to keep in mind that everything in excess is harmful.
always grateful @jwolf for the variety of topics in your post.
Decaffeinated green tea is also an option. The caffeine removing process also removes some of the health benefits, but not all of them according to https://www.verywellfit.com/decaf-green-tea-2506112
I love green tea. At most I drink 3 a day but usually less. I like black tea in the morning, green in the afternoon and white at night. I don't think I'm at risk for negative side effects but the positive effects outweigh them all
Thanks...for creating the awareness... I never knew all the negative effects...all I know is that... Green tea is a wonderful traveling and cure so many diseases and illnesses... Thanks for the info. 👍👍
Me either, i don't like tea at all. No matter green or black. Coffee forever ahahaaaa
You need to listen to yourself and everything will be ok :) I had been drinking more green tea, and now I drink water and coffee ... Have a nice day, friend @jwolf!
That's as simple as that 'anything beyond the threshold value would be harmful to our health' . Even excessive drinking of water cause some abnormality . Thanks for your advice @jwolf
its taste is very bad lol i am not drinking it too neither
For a while I was doing the green tea thing for weight loss. 6 cups a day, it works really well for weight loss but it did cause headaches and insomnia and muscle tension. I dropped it after a month or so.
