Green tea is packed with antioxidants and is also a potent thermogenic that increases metabolic rate and the utilisation of fat for fuel. It has around one-third of the caffeine of coffee and so provides less of a stress-effect than coffee, while still providing benefits to cognition, alertness, and fat loss. It also gently relaxes you through the actions of l-theanine, an amino acid with proven benefits for mood, relaxation, and cognition.
Drink green tea liberally throughout the day!
