A Week of Green Tea: Subtle Gains, Not a Miracle

A dietitian drinks only green tea for seven days and reports steady energy, improved focus, and a grounding daily ritual, with digestion staying calm and hydration improving. The piece highlights green tea’s antioxidants (notably EGCG) and potential links to weight management, heart and cognitive health, while noting downsides like caffeine-related jitters, sleep disruption, tannins that can interfere with iron absorption, and possible digestive discomfort. It emphasizes that benefits are best seen with long-term, moderate consumption as part of a varied routine, rather than a drastic one-week switch.
