Green tea originated from China and is currently used around the world. Due to its polyphenol content, green tea is considered a beverage with many benefits for our physical and mental health.
Typically, green tea helps reduce oxidative stress, delay the effects of aging, and lose weight. In addition, green tea also has a positive effect in preventing cardiovascular disease.
Although it is a healthy drink, there are some notes to consider to take advantage of all the benefits of green tea.
Avoid drinking green tea immediately after eating. Ideally, wait about 45 minutes after a main meal. Otherwise, tea can prevent the body from absorbing nutrients from food properly.
In addition, to take advantage of its fat-burning and antioxidant properties, the best time to drink green tea is in the morning.
If you like, you can replace your morning coffee cup with a cup of green tea. And if you want to drink it at night, try to drink it two or three hours before bed.
