Tezzbuzz Desk- In India, tea is not just a drink but a part of people’s daily routine. People enjoy tea from the beginning of the morning till the end of the evening. However, now along with traditional tea, the trend of Japanese Matcha tea is also increasing rapidly. Matcha is considered a healthy drink due to its green color and antioxidant properties.
Recently, Assam has become the first state in the country to start commercial production of Matcha tea, which has further increased its popularity in India. But according to experts, it is not necessary that matcha tea is beneficial for everyone. Some people may have health problems due to this.
What is Matcha Tea and why is its trend increasing?
Matcha is a special type of Japanese green tea, which is prepared in powder form by grinding tea leaves. Like normal green tea, only water is not drunk in it, but the entire tea leaf is consumed.
This is why it may contain high amounts of caffeine and some active ingredients. The antioxidants present in matcha are considered beneficial for the body, but excessive consumption can be harmful for some people.
People who may have problems with matcha tea
According to diet experts, if a person has nervousness, restlessness, hand tremors, fast heartbeat, acidity or sleep problems after drinking tea or coffee, then he should be careful before drinking matcha tea. Due to the high caffeine content in matcha, some people may feel its effects more.
People with sleep problems should be careful
Matcha contains an element called L-theanine, which can help focus and calm the mind. But the caffeine present in it can affect sleep. People who already have insomnia should consume matcha in limited quantities. It is considered better to avoid drinking it especially in the evening or night.
People suffering from anemia or iron deficiency should take care
If there is iron deficiency in the body or the problem of anemia, then matcha tea should be consumed thoughtfully. Elements like catechins present in matcha can affect the absorption of iron from food. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid drinking matcha tea with iron-rich foods.
Consult a doctor during pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers should consult a doctor before including matcha tea in their diet. Apart from this, people who have heart problems or are taking any regular medicines should also consult a specialist before drinking matcha.
When and in what quantity is it best to drink matcha tea?
If matcha suits your body then it can be taken in limited quantities. According to experts, it is better to drink it in the morning or afternoon, so that sleep is not affected due to caffeine. It is important to understand your body’s reaction instead of consuming more than required.
Healthy drink, but not for everyone
Antioxidants and many nutrients are found in matcha tea, but anything is beneficial only if it suits the body. Therefore, do not consider it healthy and start drinking it daily without thinking. Make matcha tea a part of your diet keeping in mind your health, medical condition and needs.
