Green tea is one of the drinks that can both heal and harm. This largely depends on how much such a drink is drunk. That is why connoisseurs of green tea need to know the daily intake.
Daily intake of green tea according to the recommendations of doctors
The question of how much green tea can be drunk has aroused great interest among doctors around the world. So, for example, American and Russian doctors came to the conclusion that the daily intake of this drink should not exceed 500-750 ml. But the Chinese and Turkish specialists, due to the peculiarities of the eastern mentality, increased the rate to 1-1.5 liters.
However, it should be noted that the above dosage refers to weak green tea. If you use a strong drink, the daily rate should be reduced by 2 times, from 4-5 cups per day to 2-3.
In addition, given the different sizes of cups, scientists have determined the daily allowance in grams of brew. For 1 person, the maximum dose of tea leaves is 10 g. And based on the fact that 1 teaspoon contains 1.5-2 g, it is allowed to drink up to 6 cups per day.
For pregnant women in the first trimester, reduce their green tea intake to 1 small cup per day. However, in order to avoid the risk to the health of the unborn baby, you should consult with your gynecologist about the possibility of taking this drink.
Daily intake of green tea for medicinal purposes
In addition to its taste, green tea also has healing properties. But to get the maximum effect, you must adhere to the correct dosage.
In addition, due to the antimicrobial properties of green tea, it is recommended to drink it for various diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
For depression, it is recommended to consume this drink, brewed with herbs, berries or fruits, up to 5 cups a day. Thanks to the essential oils of green tea in a duet with raspberry or currant leaves and berries, lemon or orange zest, lavender or mint, this drink will promote relaxation and lead to a quick recovery.
In case of dysentery, colitis, enteritis, it is necessary to brew a drink in the ratio of 100 g of tea to 2 liters of water, and then leave for 20-30 minutes. Then you need to bottle it through cheesecloth and put it in the refrigerator. Take 1-2 tablespoons 1 hour before meals 4 times a day. With acute dysentery, you need to take this drink for 5-10 days, and with a chronic course of the disease - within 15-20 days.
It should be remembered that when losing weight, a combination of green tea and sugar in large quantities will do more harm than good. 3 such cups of sweet drink will add 150 extra Kcal.
Indispensable for green tea and diet. Japanese scientists have proven that when you consume 4-5 small cups of this drink per day, you can burn up to 80 Kcal. It is allowed to drink tea with lemon, but it is strictly forbidden to add sugar to the drink.
