Green Tea Before Workout Is Better

I read over here that a cup of plain coffee or green tea 15 minutes before we begin our workout can raise our mental awareness and help us to workout more intensely. This rings a bell to me because I am always taking a cup of green tea before exercising in the morning and I can say that the caffeine content of green tea is sure enough to boost my energy.

I tried drinking coffee once for a change because I smelled the irresistible beans aroma but I palpitated even before I finished a cup which is probably because of too much caffeine content of black coffee. Then afterwards, I got stomach ache…these experiences made me stick to my old reliable green tea every morning.

The caffeine content of green tea is said to be high but it is not that harsh even for non-coffee drinkers like me. It is just enough to boost our energy and stimulate our blood circulation and guaranteed not to cause any palpitations. Green tea is healthier than coffee because it is not acidic and cannot cause stomach upset even you drink it with an empty stomach.

So if you are looking for a beverage for your morning workouts, try tea, particularly green tea. It is subtle but effective for a quick energy boost and can be paired with any solid food even with just plain soda cracker and guaranteed to be without any harmful side effects.
