Dear lybrateuser, -You can have green tea 2-3 cups but more can cause acidity & other side effects like irritability, restlessness, headache, loss of appetite , nausea, heartburn due to the presence of caffeine, it can also reduce the absorption of iron in the gut -you can have it with a teaspoon of honey for flavor as well as more health benefits.

Hello, Green tea is riched with phytochemicals such as antioxidant (epigallocatechin gallate, flavonoids which are most beneficial for your health .you can take it anytime but do not take it very early in the morning on an empty stomac. The caffeine in it can lead to dehydration and it could stimulate the release of gastric acid which can cause stomach upset or even ulcer. Avoid taking green tea just after and just before of meal time because it can reduce the absorption of iron and thiamin (vitamin B1).
