Downfall of Consuming Green Tea in Large Quantities

Downfall of Consuming Green Tea in Large Quantities 

Green tea is one of the top items consumed by those with the intention of losing weight, correct me if I am wrong. Most of the people who ask me diet plans have green tea on their menu already. More than I want to recommend them. They think, as if green tea is going to make them smarter, it sure is going to help with exercise accompanied otherwise it is of no use.

I am glad that the advertisement these days about the green tea are encouraging about some exercise accompanied with green tea. 

Green tea is no magical potion that you drink every day and you get to lose all the extra belly fat that you have put on. It helps in the process of losing weight in case if you are actually putting some effort to lose it. It helps in speeding up your metabolism. That’s not the only benefit, there are tons of them. 

There will be a blog about benefits as well, if you want to check it out, then comment in the comment section to let me know

So, back to the main topic. Is it safe to consume lots of green tea a day? No, anything that is of excess is bad for you. Likewise, green tea. Despite all the benefits, consuming it in large quantities can harmful effects on your body, such as:-

• Decreases absorption of folic acid

• Decreases absorption of iron (especially if you’re taking with meals)

• Green tea has tannis that increases acid in stomach causing stomach problems such as acid reflux, nausea and constipation.

• Caffeine content present in green tea (although lower than black coffee but there is presence of it that one cannot deny) can causes sleep problems if consumption exceeds two cups a day.

• Caffeine can cause decrease amount of blood flow to the brain and the central nervous system that will cause you to feel giddy. This happens when you consume in large amounts.

• Sleep deprivation is going to cause weight gain risk.

• Inhibits the absorption of calcium making a person prone to bone diseases such as osteoporosis

• Liver problems can arise due to high amount of caffeine build-up.
