Information
Green tea is an excellent choice for pregnant women. However, it is important to note that green tea contains a relatively high quantity of caffeine and that pregnant women must limit their caffeine consumption to 200 milligrams per day. For this reason, it is essential to monitor your green tea consumption and not to consume more than one or two cups per day. It is also important to note that green tea contains beneficial antioxidants, including polyphenols and catechins which help protect the body from damage caused by free radicals. These antioxidants are considered beneficial to health and can even help prevent certain diseases. Finally, although green tea does not contain dairy products, it is important to make sure that you do not use dairy products to prepare it. Dairy products may contain bacteria that may present risks for your baby. In conclusion, yes, you can consume green tea during pregnancy, but you must do it with caution and limit your consumption to one or two cups per day. It is also important to make sure you don't use it with dairy products.
