According to Bangalore-based nutritionist Dr. Anju Sood, "While Green tea is loaded with antioxidants and polyphenols, it is still a type of tea that contains caffeine and hence I wouldn't recommend more than 3 cups a day. More than this can leave you dehydrated. If consumed in excess it will start eliminating essential elements too from your system. It is advised to all clients to take a cup in the morning (around 10-11 a.m) or evening.
Early morning can be a good time to drink green tea
because your metabolism is the highest, which can be boosted with a nice hot
cup of green tea. It is good to drink green tea in the evening too because
that's when your metabolism tends to dip, so this could be your last shot to
prolong your dipping metabolism."
Green tea has long been considered a healthier
alternative to other beverages. It is known to bring down the 'bad' cholesterol
or LDL levels and triglycerides a set of fats that forms a sheath of plaque in
your blood vessels making it difficult for the blood to flow. It is known to
boost your metabolism and speed up the fat burning process.
