Why should drink Green Tea before bed

Drinking green tea before bed can get some good benefits. Here are some benefits of taking Green Tea before bed:
1. It helps to relax
Since Green Tea has a relaxing agent present inside, it helps in soothing nerves and relaxing. Both of these ingredients make for a good night’s sleep and a good sleep in the night directly means a fresher mind in the morning.
2. It improves metabolism
Research has shown that sleeping soundly and adequately directly affects body’s metabolism. And a healthy metabolic system ensures a body is in good physical shape and a glowing skin. Taking Green Tea in the night, can ensure that the metabolism stays on the tract.
3. It eliminates waste
Eliminating waste buildup from the body is crucial and cannot be underestimated. Taking Green Tea in the night, after all meals are done is a way of ensuring that body will be assisted in the removal of the wastes.
For these reasons, along with day time, you must drink Green Tea in the night.

Green Tea - An healthy drink


What is Green Tea?

Green tea is made from the leaves of Camellia sinensis that have undergone minimal oxidation during processing. It is prepared in the same way like other types of tea are prepared barring a few processes.  It has recently become more widespread where black tea is traditionally consumed. Many varieties of green tea have been created in countries where they are grown. These varieties can differ substantially due to variable growing conditions, horticulture,production processing, and harvesting time.




Over the last few decades green tea has been subjected to many scientific and medical studies to determine the extent of its long-purported health benefits, with some evidence suggesting that regular green tea drinkers may have a lower risk of developing heart disease and certain types of cancer.Although green tea does not raise the metabolic rate enough to produce immediate weight loss, a green tea extract containing poly-phenols and caffeine has been shown to induce thermogenesis and stimulate fat oxidation, boosting the metabolic rate 4% without increasing the heart rate.


According to a survey released by the United States Department of Agriculture in 2007,the mean content of flavonoids in a cup of green tea is higher than that in the same volume of other food and drink items that are traditionally considered of health contributing nature, including fresh fruits, vegetable juices or wine. Flavonoids are a group of phytochemicals in most plant products that are responsible for such health effects as anti-oxidative and anticarcinogenic functions.However, based on the same USDA survey, the content of flavanoids may vary dramatically amongst different tea products.
