Green Tea - Best Time For Drinking

by Joyce
(Alberta, Canada)

When is the best time to drink green tea, before or after meals?

Answer

Joyce, if you are just starting to drink green tea, I recommend drinking tea in between meals. This is because green tea can cause stomach problems for some people, and drinking it around mealtimes do not help.

Also avoid drinking green tea before you go to sleep as it will keep you awake.

However, if you want to lose weight and fat, drinking tea around meal times will help block nutrition absorption, increase fat excretion and remove food toxins.

Personally, I drink green tea in between meals. If I want a tea to go with my meals, I would pick a more oxidised tea such as an oolong tea. It has been proven by research that oolong tea increases fat excretion. It is also more gentle on the stomach.

I hope my answer helps.

After meals
by: mlagirl

I have always drank green tea after meals because I feel it digests the food. I don't do it after each meal though, only when I've had an unhealthy meal or been snacking on junk.

I just feel less full when i drink green tea, is that ok?

I can drink upto 3 cups per day, and I do have it before bedtime as well, which I know now I shouldn't.

Please give me some insights on this. I am drinking it also because I've heard about fat excretion.

Drinking tea on empty stomach
by: Julian

It is not a good idea to drink tea with empty stomach. I did this for several years, and is suffering some side effects now.

Lightly oxidised teas - such as green tea and white tea - is quite harsh on the stomach. If you drink them on empty stomach, over long period of time, it can hurt the stomach.
