There are no specific guidelines regarding the timing of green tea consumption; individuals may choose to drink it at any time based on their personal preferences. However, for patients with relatively weak gastrointestinal function, consuming green tea on an empty stomach may irritate the stomach lining; therefore, it is advisable to drink it approximately one hour after a meal. Green tea is rich in tea polyphenols, which can help alleviate fatigue and enhance mental alertness.
