Green tea is a drink that many people love. After all, it not only has a special taste, but also has a positive effect on health, invigorates, and helps maintain a healthy weight.

But this product can also cause harm to health.

Gastroenterologist Anna Sviridova told about who should give up green tea and why. She shared the details with the publication " Gazeta.Ru ".

The specialist recommended that pregnant women avoid this drink. It's all about tannins, which interfere with the absorption of folic acid, which is necessary for the proper development of the nervous system in the fetus.

Those who suffer from low blood pressure, anemia, and osteoporosis should not include green tea in their diet.

In addition, patients suffering from gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastroesophageal reflux disease should not drink it.

The problem is that green tea increases the acidity of gastric juice.

Sviridova also said that even if there are no contraindications, you still shouldn’t overdo it with the drink.

However, you should not drink it with food. You can drink a cup of such tea an hour after eating. It is better not to drink green tea before bed, otherwise you can provoke insomnia.
