Is it bad to drink green tea almost every day?

December 23, 2009

I drink a lot of green tea and grey tea. Is it as bad as coffee? And is there something bad about drinking specifically green tea? I’ve heard myths about it making you infertile.

Green tea is making the news everyday about the wonderful health benefits it contains. It is important that if you are really concerned about your health, drinking loose leaf tea will give you the maximum health benefits.Tea bought in a store in tea bags is a low grade product.
BTW, if you add milk to your tea you loose the health benefit.

You must also consider what you put into your tea. Drinking green tea will not make you infertile.

how much cups of green tea should i drink?

December 07, 2009

I will be taking 2 capsules of green tea extract a day of 500mg in each for acne. I was wondering how many cups of green tea i should drink while taking the pills to get rid of it?
BTW: The Vikings are the best team in the NFL!

A nutritional remedy for acne is this: After the meal of the day containing the most fats or oils, take beta carotene, vitamin C, and natural vitamin E, The best vitamin E is d-alpha tocopheryl acetate. The label should say natural; dl-alpha tocopheryl acetate is synthetic. Mixed tocopheryls aren’t as good.

What are the health benefits of Green Tea?

November 09, 2009

I’ve been drinking green tea regularly for while now, usually i sweeten it with honey.. What are the health benefits of green tea? Someone told me that it has many health benefits, what are they?

I first started drinking Green Tea about 2 years ago after I heard about it from an aunt (with Chinese family how could I not?) and really like the taste now. At first I used to add the water boiling and it would be soo bitter but if you add it a minute after boiling the taste is so fresh and delicate, but I can’t stand it with anything sweet!

Drinking green tea has many health benefits, for one it is full of antioxidants that keep the immune system working well. I hardly ever got sick or had colds before but I am told it should help people boost their immune systems, just as eating a diet rich in vegetables and fruit would add more antioxidants and vitamins into the diet and have notable health benefits.

Believe it or not rubbing green tea bags on your face after dipping in hot (not boiling) water really clears up acne and skin imperfections. Just don’t let your neighbours see you doing it. GAH.

Does green tea really make you lose weight?

November 04, 2009

I am trying to slim down a bit for the summer and I have heard that green tea can help you lose weight. I was wondering if it has worked for anyone, and if I would need to take the supplements or can I just sip on some green tea? Also, is it best to drink it/take the supplements before or after working out, at night time, after eating, etc?

Yes and no.

Yes: There are metabolism boosters in green tea, but there are in a lot of things. Technically speaking, coffee could make you lose weight, so could speed. That doesn’t make them hugely good for you. The benefit of green tea is that it doesn’t have a lot of the other things that are bad for you like these other drinks, and green tea (similar to the water-flush diet, or the grape fruit juice flush diet) is that it displaces high calorie drinks that you were taking in before.

No, there’s really nothing in green tea that, by itself, will cause you to lose weight. Yes, it reduces your calorie intake by replacing/displacing other high calorie drinks, but no, if you don’t control your eating and exercise, no you won’t lose weight just because you bought into some health fad.

Give up pop, drink juice and water. It’ll have pretty much the same effect.

Is green tea bad or good before you sing?

October 18, 2009

My singing teacher tells me to drink green tea with honey in it before I sing, but sites online say that tea is bad to drink before you sing. Is tea bad, but is green tea okay? Which one is true?

Green tea is fine-it hydrates you and if drunk warm with honey it will soothe your throat. There is caffeine in green tea, but it is minimal.

Black tea and coffee on the other hand should be avoided due to the caffeine content, caffeine being a dehyrator.
