Does Tea Really Keep Us Healthy?

I read some issues of drinking tea too. Tea according to experts is a good diuretic that is why if taken in large quantity will make you waste some of your nutrients and minerals. It will be flushed with your urine. However, I observed people in China are really fun of drinking tea yet they look healthy. Accordingly, it will also flush some of the toxic waste from the body.

I like to drink tea. In the southern parts of the United States, we drink sweet tea. I'm not sure that it is too good for you though. I have heard that it is better than coffee. And I am positive that it is much better than the Mountain Dew that I used to drink more of. So, I am doing myself some good by drinking more tea, and less soda. Plus, it is better on the pocket book. LOL

No, I do not have this habit, although there are a couple of herbal teas that I drink from time to time. The most delicious in my opinion is Red Bush Tea (Roibus, known as Aspalathus linearis), which is said to have 50 times more antioxidants than the healthiest Camelia sinesis derivative, and it is naturally sweet and delicious by itself or mixed with spices, as in Red Chai. But it has no caffeine and is not habit forming. The other one I grow myself and that is fig leaf tea. It is very healthy too, and is used by some to help regulate blood sugar levels. I like the red tea best iced so for me that is a summer drink and I like the fig leaf tea better hot, so I enjoy that one more when the weather is cool. I would love to buy seeds to try to grow the Aspalathus linearis, but it is said to be quite difficult to propagate in this area.

I am very healthy and I never drink tea and never have. My family drank iced tea a lot when I was growing up in Texas, but I never liked it and wouldn't drink it. So in my opinion it is not necessary to drink it to be healthy since I don't and I never get colds, the flu or much of anything else.

I do enjoy drinking tea. I either have it hot or iced depending on my mood and the season. I know the bad effects of caffiene and I don't care for teas with that in it. I drink alot of green tea and herbal. Love those alot. My grandmother used to fix me mint tea when I was not well and it sure is relaxing and tasty for a ailing tummy.

I personally believe that tea is very healthy for you. It is made of herbs that have many benefits for your health. It's much better than tons of other drinks out there, such as coffee, which many Americans consume daily. I have seen the benefits of tea. My great-grandmother drinks tea every day, and she is perfectly healthy at the age of 90. This may not be the best example, but it shows that tea doesn't do you any harm. I would recommend drinking tea, but of course, don't replace it with water.

I find this interesting. I consider tea like coffee too. And the fact that you said there is caffeine in tea adds the equation the more that too much of something is not good. I heard that too much tea can make a body too cold and if someone has bloating problem, it's also advisable not to take too much tea, and if possible to refrain from it for a temporary period of time until the bloating subsides. But I read too that coffee is quite good because it can be a bit good for the heart. Guess only minimum consumption is alright..

I drink tea as a substitute for coffee. When I feel that coffee is quite affecting me already I take tea. I believed tea is a cleansing drink, and good for the body. I don't rely on tea however, it's just a substitute whenever I no longer feel like drinking cofee or hot chocolate.

hi getbrowser well i have the habbit of drinking tea, i am addicted to it, no not coffee at all but TEA!... well tea is at least lot better than coffee, at least it has got lesser caffeine, but i have i have heard a lot about green tea, i sure would like to have that someday, they say it is pretty much good for your health... i have to give it a try someday...

I am a tea drinker but just last month i was advised to refrain from drinking it. It triggers acid that causes my reflux. Im a way it's helping me to manage my constipation concern and relaxes me to sleep, but is making my esophagitis reflux worst.

I drink tea. Green tea to be more precise. In Hong Kong, it's customary to drink tea during/after meals. Most of my Chinese friends say it's to clean your stomach and get rid of the oils you've ingested. I'd like to think that, too much of anything is not good. Tea in moderation is a good thing but too much of it becomes unhealthy. It's sort of like coffee. It has caffeine and has health benefits in moderation. Too much isn't good.

i think tea can keep our body healthy.i face the computer everyday.so i need to radiation.and i drink three cup of tea everyday.i perfer green tea to any other day.the green tea can anti-aging,radiation ,and remove fat,lose weight.but we had better not drink too much,especially the paysical weak people.and we should not drink green tea in moring,otherwise it will stimulate the stomach.

I actually don't even drink tea but I'm always told that green tea is very good for you. I work with a load of health freaks but I just cannot stand the taste of it. Why is it so good for you anyway?

I drink 1-2 cups of tea daily. According to the Harvard Women's Health Watch published in 2004, both black and green tea are healthy. They both (along with oolong tea) have antioxidants which reduce the risk of many diseases like heart disease. The BBC points to research which shows that drinking 2-3 cups of tea a day is good for health. It's better than drinking plain water and it's not dehydrating as many people think. Green tea is much healthier than black, but I enjoy my black tea. I also drink a cup of green tea everyday.

It works for me. I use differnt teas for different purposes and with very good results.

I have also heard that drinking tea is healthy. It has anti-oxidants that help remove the toxins inside the body. What I do is that after every full meal, I would drink tea. It helps me not to feel too much bloated after eating.

hi friend, i live in china and i know people love tea how much here, especially to those managing business. but i do not like drinking tea, i do not know it is good or not to one's health. three or four cups in a day is enough i think. the reason i do not like tea is that if you drink it everyday, your teeth would get dirty, it happened to my grandfather.

I heard tea is good for health, especially green tea, etc... If its drinked in normal used. I mean don't get too much sugar pour on it, etc... It has less caffein then coffee also i thinks.. Stay health, And take care! cheeerrz!!

I tried it but it does not work for me, you have to try it for yourself though to be able to see the results, But i found out one use of tea for me. I use it in taking a bath, i boil 2-3 tea sachet and add it to my last bath. it make my skin younger.

Hi there... drink 2-3 cups of green tea a day and it keeps me physically fit and healthy. I have read that tea has a very small amount of caffeine so it is not dangerous to drink a lot of it. But like what it is said... that anything and everything should be in moderation... and too much of everything is bad enough.
