Matcha or Green Tea
We are huge fans of matcha and green tea, but it’s best to enjoy these nutritious sippers throughout the day, but make sure to taper off several hours before bedtime, at the least. “Green tea contains two other stimulants in addition to containing caffeine.
These other two substances are theobromine and theophylline, which may cause increased heart rate, feelings of nervousness, and overall anxiety,” explains Hayim. “Matcha, a type of green tea, also contains caffeine but is reported to have a less jittery effect compared to green tea.”
The health benefits of green tea are incredible though, so you should still enjoy it—but not after 3 or 4 p.m.
