Green
Tea and Working Out
Do you need to increase your
energy levels during the day or increase your energy levels during your
workouts? You may want to start drinking caffeine-free green tea. I
started
drinking green tea last fall and my energy levels have increased during
my workouts and during the work day. The only days that I don't drink
green
tea is the day of my workout. I find that it tightens my muscles and
limits
my workout. I still don't understand why, but it may not be so for you.
So I've compensated for this little problem by only drinking green tea
the day prior to my workout and it seems to work fine for me. The most
I drink is two cups in a day, but usually one cup is enough for me.
So will green tea work for
you? Well I asked a friend to drink green tea and he has also noticed
increased
energy levels and lost a few pounds in the process. The reasons for
this
is that it boosts your metabolism and it also boosts, strengthens your
immune systm. It also has antioxidants.
Depending on what literature
you read, green tea is also supposed to fight stomach, skin cancers and
helps to prevent tooth decay. Green tea is also ideal to help you lose
weight.
I just wanted to share with
you want I know about green tea and the results I have gotten from this
tea. So instead of going for a cup of coffee, try some caffeine-free
green
tea. After a couple of weeks you should notice results and then you can
judge the merits of drinking green tea for yourself.
