🚨 Attention Matcha Lovers! 🚨
A 28-year-old woman named Lynn Shazeen found herself in hospital with heart palpitations and fatigue after her matcha tea habit turned sour. 🤒💔
Lynn, who started sipping on the trendy green brew six months ago, initially chose matcha for its anti-inflammatory perks. But three months in, she noticed unsettling symptoms: increased fatigue, feeling perpetually cold, and those worrying heart palpitations. 😓🧊
Despite being a nurse herself, Lynn hadn’t linked her health issues to her new matcha routine until she landed in hospital and discovered her iron levels had plummeted from 23 to 13. The culprit? Catechins in matcha and green tea can mess with your body’s ability to absorb iron—crucial for those already prone to low levels.
As a precaution, Lynn has bid farewell to matcha and returned to more traditional teatime options. She’s currently on iron supplements and vitamin C to rebuild her iron levels.
Lynn says, “It was a bit worrying, but as a health professional, I stayed calm and focused on getting better.” 💪🍵
If you’re a matcha fan, be aware and listen to your body! Health is wealth, friends! 💚✨
