Green tea?

darrenoneill33

Anybody have this on a regular basis? Have read some good stuff about it and its benefits health wise.
Is it good?

Yeah its great it adds five pounds of muscle per week and makes your dick 3 inches longer and thicker.

*ahem* its tea, its not a miracle cure. It might help fat loss if you get your diet right. Otherwise its just tea.

Ok, i just meant is it good at building up defense against colds and flu and things like that for the winter months

brianthebard

Not really sure, b vitamins and echinacea might help there.

Oh come on, someone asks a question about green tea and gets a smart-ass answer. 6000+ posts but still a smart-ass answer

Did you read the second line of my post?

You're right, it was a unnecessarily smart-ass answer and didn't lend much credibility to the answer. It still didn't warrant your retort though. Like I said, a little civility goes a long way, if you don't like a post report it and let the moderators decide if something needs doing.

brianthebard, the same advice applies to you. I'd strongly suggest shutting the filoogle up in this thread.

Ok back on topic before it all descends into madness. My own experience of green tea is that it's good if your stomach is giving you probs. Dunno why but wifey gives me a cup when I've had too much tuna and it settles things down.

I'd take the fatloss/cancer prevention/skin benefits claims with a pinch of salt though. Having said that I've a lot of faith in some alternative medicine and the teas used in TCM from personal experience with it. If you like green tea drink away I'm sure it''ll do you no harm.

The scent of Green Tea reminds me of mowed lawns. I like to make a cup and sniff it for the childhood memories of long summer nights and 3+ months off from school. Sometimes I drink it - it tastes worse than it smells.

well
the biggest advantage which i get from drinking green tea is the simple fact that when the kettle is boiled, i drink the green tea instead of normal tea, and when i drink normal tea, which i love, i always put at least two heaped teaspoons of sugar in it, and in the average day i cud easily drink 5 cups of tea, so that is at least 10 spoons of sugar,

plus less cafine, plus it tastes preety good once its at the correct temp,
plus once you have a cup just pour another, tea bag always good for at least two mugs.

speaking of healthy drinks, fill a flask with boiling water and a slice of lemon and bring it to bed and as soon as u wake drink it, be carefull cud still be too hot, and i dont mean a mounthful, drink it all, great way to start ur day, clean out the old system,

I would drink green tea (from tea leaves rather than a teabag) on a regular basis and I find it great; whatever about the supposed anti-cancer benefits etc, it really is great for your digestion and your metabolism, I'd absolutely reccommend it. Tea leaves are not expensive to pick up (as opposed to teabags) and you can brew the leaves more than once. Jayoo also makes a good point that if you're drinking regular milky, sugary tea, substituting it with this is already beneficial.

Ginger tea is also great for your health and especially digestion, its also very "warming" in winter - even easier to make, just throw some fresh ginger into boiling water.
