Green tea has received a lot of good buzz in the press over the past few years, as studies show that the antioxidant-rich drink could have beneficial effects on everything from heart health to cancer prevention. And green tea boosts your metabolic rate by 4% for 24 hours after you ingest it; plus, it elevates your adrenaline for an extended period of time, giving you more energy for your daily activities (including exercise) and helping your body unlock and use stored body fat. (And, a bonus! It may even prevent your body from absorbing additional fat from your food!) Here are a few ways how to work green tea into your daily plan:
You’ll need two to three cups of steeped green tea daily, or you can take a pill with 500 mg of ECGC extract (the active ingredient in green tea), or green tea containing beverages to reap the awesome benefits. {An absolutely fantastic all natural drink that I LOVE that contains green tea is another that also adds additional amazing health benefits to your body daily!

Take it early in the day. The adrenaline boost from green tea can make it tough for you to sleep, so avoid drinking it or taking the supplement later in the day. Taking it in the morning is perfect and it will help rev you up for the day ahead.
Try it with a big meal. If you’re indulging in a big, saturated-fat feast, a little green tea beforehand can help you avoid digesting (and storing) all of those fat calories.
Complementary supplements. Pairing green tea with 1 to 2 grams of the amino acid tyrosine could help you boost production of adrenaline.
{Sidenote: I had a patient and friend with whom I knew for over 20 years who drank 3 cups of green tea a day and just recently passed on at 97. She was a nurse and apparently knew her stuff!}
