Is Green tea actually not all that good for us? I have been drinking it a LOT lately, and this girl told me last night that it is unhealthy. Then again, this girl comes home every night, pours herself a glass of soda, eats meat and ice cream, and sits in front of either the television or myspace, wasting her brain away, complains about her life and how her boyfriend sucks at it himself, then goes to sleep. ~
What is suppose to be so bad about green tea? I have only heard good things about it. I usually drink one to two cups of it each day.
Green Tea is supposed to be really good for you. It is an antioxidant and I've heard other many good things of it, I just cant remember right now and it is so yummy
Japanese Green Tea is full of antioxidants. It is good for your intestinal tract, it prevents aging and is more healthy than drinking coffee. Now I eat meat occasionally, am a nonsmoker and sober 12 yrs. I like Tazo China Green Tea, too.
"People who drink excessive amounts of caffeine (including caffeine from green tea) for prolonged periods of time may experience irritability, insomnia, heart palpitation, and dizziness. Caffeine overdose can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, and loss of appetite. If you are drinking a lot of tea and start to vomit or have abdominal spasms, you may have caffeine poisoning. Lower your caffeine intake and see your healthcare provider if your symptoms are severe." It's just not with Green Tea though, caffeine poisoning can happen with any drink that contains caffeine. If you do think you are getting more caffeine then you should you can always switch to decaf-green tea. I Personally drink 3-5 cups of Green Tea Daily. It's mainly before meditation and a few random times during the day.
Yes I drink it several times a day as well, but I dont eat or drink anything at all for at least 3 hours before meditation. Especially something with caffeine becuase it keeps the mind alert and over sensitive to external stimuli. -
Yeah, obviously the girl who said green tea was bad for you was wrong. There's been lots of studies and research done that proves that having a few cups of green tea is beneficial to your health.
Ha. She tells you green tea is unhealthy and then drinks sodas? I could laugh about that...Green tea is great for you.
