How many cups of green tea can you drink per day?

Green tea promotes weight loss, prevents premature aging, helps eliminate toxins, strengthens the immune system ... And the advantages of this drink go on and on, but how many cups of green tea do you have to drink a day to access these? Benefits? And above all, is there a limit figure, exceeding which can have negative effects on health? Here we talk about the minimum quantity as well as the maximum recommended daily amount of green tea.

Drinking a single cup of green tea a day is enough to enjoy its benefits for health, but if we can increase the number of daily cups to two or three, its benefits will come sooner and will be more noticeable.

And what happens if we consume five cups of green tea a day? Well, apart from all the benefits mentioned above, we will reduce the risk of stomach cancer. But we would still be quite far from the limit. Seven is the number of cups a day that has given the best results when it comes to accelerating metabolism and losing weight.

It is therefore clear that the greater the number of cups of green tea a day, the greater its benefits, but be careful, because everything has a limit, and that of green tea, is located at ten cups a day, according to the researchers. Likewise, it should be noted that people who are sensitive to caffeine or who suffer from insomnia, should never reach ten cups a day. If you tend to anxiety or insomnia, do not even exceed two or three.

On the other hand, consuming a lot of green tea could decrease the absorption of folic acid. This is an important vitamin in the development of fetuses, which is why pregnant women have to consume it moderately, which means no more than two cups a day or cutting it out of your diet entirely until after you've given birth. There are even recommendations about green tea and breastfeeding that you should know.

Another negative effect of green tea is that it can interfere with the absorption of iron, but in this case it can be avoided by drinking it only between meals, and never during them, something that most people already do.
