I used to drink tea a lot!! Whenever I was hungry and there was nothing to eat, I drink tea. When my head was painful and there was no medicines, I drink tea. When I wanted to drink something hot, I drink tea. When I was bored and there was nothing to do, I drink tea.
But the question I want to ask you is... Is too much tea good? I don't drink tea anymore but I just want to know if it was good and healthy was I was doing in the past. haha. :D

No,too much is of course not good.Tea does help us relax sometimes and settle ourselves but it has it's side effects as well.I have like 1 or 2 cups of tea maximum a day.There should be a limit on how much you consume it and I will say too much is bad for our health.

beats sodas...
I had a doc tell me that any fluid is better than no fluid, so soda is better than nothing, but tea is better than soda - even if you add sugar...
There are even times when tea is better than water - because you have to boil the water...

Some people say that drinking tea is good for you and can help your health a lot. Others say different.
Now me..... I drink at least ten cups of normal tea a day and there is nothing wrong with me at all. I do also drink fennel and green tea as well as they are very good for you and help your tummy.

They say too much of anything is bad. Tea is a diuretic and can lead to dehydration or any renal problem. My problem now is on how to gauge "too much" level, I had my almost monthly medical checkup and according to my labs, I have a high creatinine, my MD says this is may say something about my kidneys, but upon further checking, my doctor found out that I'm always dehydrated. This mybe due to lot of coffee and tea drinking. That's why I'm minimizing some of my intake of those. Thanks for reminding me.

I read in magazines, one to two cups of tea per day is sufficient. And drink lots of water, because tea can stay in yor kidney

Although tea is a healthy drink. But if you drink a lot of it and it will become unhealthy. Sometimes I think it works like coffee. You may be sleepless at night if you drink a lot of tea. Besides, if you drink it when you have an empty stomach, you will feel uncomfortable after that. And it is also bad for the teeth since your teeth will turn brown.
I love China

i think drink tea or eat other food too much is not good for our body, enough is prefect.
on the other hard, drink tea again and again because of nothing to do, this is not good habit, as matter of fact, you are not so hungry. you can choose do something which you need. have a nice day
