Q&A for How to Drink Green Tea Without the Side Effects

Early in the morning would be best since it contains caffeine. You should avoid drinking it before you go to sleep, and try not to drink it on an empty stomach.

No, green tea is used to detox your body, increase your metabolism (which leads to fat loss), etc. Overall, its a good way to keep you healthy. It does not increase height.

It's generally best not to have anything with caffeine within the last few hours before bedtime. Green tea is not terribly high in caffeine, but still, if you can, try to have it earlier in the evening. If you want to have tea before bed, drink something that doesn't contain caffeine, like chamomile.

Anytime that works for you, as long as you're not underweight, pregnant, or suffering from a medical condition that you need to be cautious with. The most important thing is to be healthy. If you eat healthy and take good care of yourself, you should naturally arrive at a healthy weight for you over time.

Yes. You can have green tea whenever you like.

The average person should limit himself to five cups of green tea since drinking too much green tea may lead to different side effects.

Yes, but if you see side effects, you should eat first.

Yes, green tea does not cause any problems when you are trying to become pregnant, but it's not recommended to drink at high doses (e.g., 5 cups a day) when you are pregnant.

You should not drink caffeine so close to bed time. It will make it harder to get a good sleep.

You can if that's what you like, although sugar is not healthy.

Don't have more than two cups and don't brew tea for more than three minutes and you should be fine.

No.

Green tea can cause nausea when you've consumed too much of it. Tea is acidic and contributes to the stomach acid that's already in your system, which can also cause heartburn.

Two cups isn't very much green tea, so I don't think it would cause a problem, but you should watch your body's response to the drink carefully. If you notice any fatigue or other worsening symptoms of anemia, you should stop drinking green tea completely.

It won't hurt. There is no evidence that green tea in itself has a positive effect on cancer but anything that makes the patient happy helps them fight cancer, so if the patient especially enjoys green tea (and it doesn't contraindict any of their medication), drinking it would still be a good idea. Just don't rely on it to be some sort of cure because it really is not.

Green tea is not a medication or supplement. "Enough" does not really apply. If you want more, then have more. If you don't like green tea at all and you're only drinking it because you've heard it aids weight loss, know that this is just because people tend to use it to replace less healthy drinks in their diet - that is, you'd get the same effects from just drinking water (or herbal tea) instead.

No. Green tea contains caffeine. It may be safe to drink if you have mild hypertension (check with your doctor, especially if you have orders to avoid caffeine) but it certainly will not lower hypertensive blood pressure.

Yes, green tea can be used as a breakfast tea if you like it at this time of day. It would go well with fruits of your choice.
