Best way to use?

[hbrandim]

I am a little confused, is it better to have your green tea with your meal or before or does it matter.
I don't really like to drink them with a meal, I would prefer before a meal or any random time. But would like to use them to use the drink whichever way will give me optimum results any advice from the Professional users or makers?

Thanks:)

Well, series of experiments discovered that the mix of catechins naturally found in green tea dose-dependently inhibit the activity of pancreatic lipase, the enzyme secreted by the pancreas that digests fat. As a result, the rate at which the body breaks down of fats into triglycerides, and the rise of triglyceride levels in the bloodstream that occurs after meals, is greatly slowed. So since a large rise in blood levels of triglycerides after a meal is a significant risk factor for coronary heart disease, drinking two cups of green tea along with a meal is a good idea, especially if your triglyceride levels are higher than normal.

According to the George Mateljan Foundation for the World's Healthiest Foods, consuming the spice, black pepper, when drinking green tea can significantly increase the amount of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) absorbed. In this study, rats and mice given green tea along with piperine (a bioactive component in black pepper) absorbed 130% more EGCG than control animals receiving EGCG alone.

In this study, piperine was found to inhibit the glucuronidation of EGCG in the intestines. Glucuronidation is a chemical pathway that serves as one of the major ways our bodies convert drugs, steroids, and many other substances into metabolites that can then be excreted into the urine or bile. By inhibiting EGCG's glucuronidation, piperine allowed more of this catechin to be absorbed and utilized. So, next time you have a cup of green tea along with a meal, be sure to spice up your soup, salad and/or entree with a little freshly ground black pepper.

I usually have a cup or two in the morning and sometimes one at night. I don't like drinking green tea for dinner either. I'm not a scientist but I would think that the body would absorb more of the antioxidants and good minerals from green tea on a light or empty stomach compared to a full stomach.

I do agree with most of your comments. But I would like to share some facts that I have learned about green tea and weight lost. Some experts have found that if a person is drinking an average of five cups of green tea a day he or she might loose 70 or 80 calories from he/her body.So it seems that green tea is really effective to loose weight.
Use green tea and Loose some weight.

Thanks.
Hope I gave some useful comments.
