Green tea, while beneficial, can be harmful if consumed incorrectly. Learn about common mistakes to avoid when drinking green tea for maximizing its health benefits.

Green tea has become increasingly popular for weight loss and fitness. In addition to detoxifying the body, green tea is extremely beneficial for health. It is a very popular drink, especially for those who control their weight. Although green tea is beneficial for the body in every way, if there is a little negligence while drinking it, it can cause harm instead of benefit. In such a situation, let's know which mistakes should be avoided while drinking green tea.

Dietitian Shikha Kumari says that one should definitely be careful if they drink green tea more than twice a day. Drinking too much green tea can disrupt sleep. Along with this, anxiety and digestive problems can also occur. So do not drink green tea more than 2 or 3 times a day. Secondly, do not drink green tea two to three hours before going to bed. It contains caffeine and tannins, which can disrupt sleep at night.
