Green Tea Precautions

  • To avoid the effects of too much caffeine, it’s best not to take more than 4 cups each day.
  • Problems have been reported with green tea extract.  It’s best to take the natural tea itself, rather than bombard your body with the extract.
  • f you are sensitive to caffeine, then cut back on the amount you drink.

Green Tea Drinking Guidelines

  • Maximum health benefits of green tea are achieved by drinking 4 cups each day.  But even 1 or 2 cups daily can be beneficial.
  • Unlike black tea, don’t boil green tea.  Steep it for 2 to 4 minutes to develop the most flavor.
  • Loose teas are recommended over tea bags.  The less processed the tea, the more benefit there is.  The tea found in tea bags is ground up into very tiny particles, which results in less flavor and poorer quality than that found in loose.  Furthermore, a chemical residue remains in tea bags.  Loose tea is more economical since good quality tea can be reinfused up to3 times.
  • Organic tea is preferred over regular tea because it is grown without fertilizers or synthetic pesticides.
  • It is better to sip a cup of tea several times a day than to consume it all at once.  So enjoy and drink to your good health! and if you are interested in knowing more about other different natural home remedies check in and find the best ones for your body and mental health.
