Mumbai-based celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar addressed these doubts on her Twitter page yesterday. Rujuta believes that drinking tea or coffee, the first thing in the morning isn't very healthy. In fact, according to Diwekar tea or coffee should not be consumed in the place of a meal during the day and the last thing before you sleep, as well.
Chai/ coffee – to have or not to have -
— Rujuta Diwekar (@RujutaDiwekar) April 4, 2018
1. When not to have chai/coffee?
- first thing on waking up
- last thing before sleeping
- in place of a meal during the day
2. How many cups a day?
2-3 cups are totally fine.
Rujuta also answered another common diet question- are green tea or green coffee healthier than their regular counterparts? Diwekar completely denounced both these variants of the beverages, saying that these drinks are only healthy 'for profits, not people.' It is pertinent here to mention that both green tea and green coffee have a huge market globally, with millions of fitness freaks and those wanting to lose weight drinking these on a regular basis.
