It is noted that regular intake of both black and green tea is associated with a lower risk of stroke and cardiovascular mortality.
"For example, the consumption of two to three cups of green tea per day is associated with a reduction in the risk of stroke by about 10-15%, and with more regular use - up to 20%. These data are consistent with observations in populations in Japan and other countries," the expert said.
At the same time, excessive consumption of the drink can lead to various negative consequences. It is not recommended to drink tea in the afternoon if you are prone to sleep disorders.
"If you drink too much tea, anxiety, tachycardia, and sleep disorders are possible. Tea also contains tannins, which can reduce the absorption of non-heme iron. Therefore, it is better to spread tea consumption and iron—rich meals for at least 30-60 minutes, so as not to reduce its bioavailability," the nutritionist advised.
Medical Xpress magazine reported on March 14 that scientists from Hiroshima University in Japan have found that drinking matcha tea can significantly reduce the intensity of sneezing in allergic rhinitis. The researchers tracked the activity of the c-Fos gene, which serves as an indicator of the response of neurons to strong stimuli. During an allergic reaction, its expression in the caudal nucleus of the spinal trigeminal nerve (the area of the brain responsible for sneezing) increased sharply. However, after taking matcha, the activity of neurons returned to almost normal levels.
