Tea seems to have more going for it than we may realize

Tea might be the better choice than having a coffee as my morning daily startup beverage. Why do I say this? I say this because I learned something new online and that is why I am sharing it with you, dear reader of this discussion. You can cut back on coffee if you develop high creatinine levels from blood lab tests to see if your kidneys are functioning at the highest possible efficiency for good health. The male has to keep his creatinine down but finds it hard for many reasons, such as the following: The female also must consider these factors as many women as well as men are more athletic than ever before with equal opportunity in both the work environment and on the playing field. A heavy workout at the gym. When doing strenuous exercises in the gym a man or a woman will use lots of energy and muscle power to achieve success lifting weights and running or swimming for better fitness and longer life span. But the substance creatinine is a waste byproduct of muscle tissue and is regularly released through the Kidneys from protein in muscles. The waste product, creatinine can be flushed out of the bladder usually with 100% efficiency but there are lots of factors that can over tax the kidneys and thus cause you to not fully get rid of the creatinine waste that should be regularly released from the body but might build up some level over the normal range because of a greater intake of substances like creatine, used in body building formulas for consumption for mostly body builders and other types of athletes. Taking extra creatine in your daily mix of protein and vitamin smoothies might be well and good at a certain level but often times we over do things. If you are a coffee drinker or strong tea toddler, you might want to consider the following information to take with a grain of salt or want to do your own research using Google to find out the pros and cons of caffeinated beverages and how these strong beverages can, if consumed daily and/or in larger than the basic one time daily amount, could potentially over tax the kidneys and the result might turn out to be a higher than average range for you as to the level of creatinine in your blood. You don't have to be an athlete to experience above average creatinine. Many hard working people, men and women alike will choose an occupation that requires lots of physical stamina and endurance. Proper kidney function is good to take seriously no matter who you are, your age, or your occupation. The kidneys come in a pair and certain amounts of caffeine don't hurt the kidneys of normal healthy persons who have no form of kidney dysfunction or disease, but if you consider that certain teas are good for people who want to lower their creatinine levels maybe it is a better thing to be cautious with caffeine filled coffee and or tea and consider making it your life's choice to start on the road to better health through better tea and less coffee consumption. Some of the teas, such as Green tea for instance, offer anti-oxidants that fight the free radicals that can lead to some cancers such as bladder cancer but the FDA may not have approved certain herbal teas for persons who want to take it for better health and to maintain optimum kidney function or keep their numbers down. The thing I totally recommend for you is to do your research. Google it for yourself, and look for ways that drinking teas of certain herbs and fruits that might in fact improve your health and give you kidneys a better chance as you grow older in time and your informed decisions about drinking teas of herbal nature might be the right thing to do for you. Ultimately talk to a doctor about it. You might have kidney disease now and have high creatinine levels already. I know I have begun to see a rise in mine over the past 5 years up and down and variating. I also know that there might be contributing factors that made my levels go up and down and over the normal range. I take certain medications and I drink coffee, strong tea and in larger amounts than the average person might as well as eat foods rich in red meat and do strenuous activities that use lots of muscles to get things done. All this can cause a raise that is possibly permanent over time or perhaps it varies from time to time, a little bit higher, then a little bit lower. The real challenge is to focus on the basics of what is good for your health based on the advice of your doctor and your nutritionist. But for now, I offer you this one link to a bit of information that makes it easy to understand and shed some light on this topic: "What tea is good for the bladder and kidneys" - from The Nest:
