So I was told that drinking too much of tea bad for your health. The thing is I gotta have tea at least once a day and not having it will make my life – dull. Its like all work and no play for Jill. Just like to those coffee bugs.
So this is what I found through my reads - It contains Tanine, a toxic element that disturbs the digestion process as the secretion of juices is affected by it. Tanine affects the water content in the body, as a result of which the skin becomes brittle and rough.
It contains caffeine, which is detrimental to health. It affects the nervous system and keeps a person awake at night (I didnt know that, I thought tea has calming effect). It can also raise blood pressure. Excessive caffeine can also cause poor concentration, irritability and nervousness. I totally agree on the poor concentration part.
Those who are predisposed to frequent attacks of heartburn and stomach ulcers should avoid too much of green tea. It can aggravate the condition.
Just like coffee it's addictive.
It is! And I’m an addict! Truly deeply do.
p/s: I haven't had my tea for two days now.

ReplyDeletepssst... sure ur missing tea, not pulled tea?
I'm a coffee person.
ReplyDeleteA couple day. More if I'm rushing work. It's not so much of making me awake, but just want that (after-) taste in my mouth.
Have been drinking coffee long, long time ago. The caffeine is in my bloodstream now. It has no effect on me. I even drink before I sleep.
Bad, eh?
owh, now i know why i always have heartburn...
ReplyDeleteand i thought tea was much safer than coffee...
hahaha ... plain water it is :)
Coffee. My favourite. Can't live without it.
ReplyDeleteDon't you realize drinking coffee can cause you to go to the loo more often?
I'm a coffee person like Birthmark and SPD, too. I used to drink 10-12 mugs a day. Of late, I've managed to cut it down to 5-6 mugs a day. Thanks to bigger mugs. *LOL*
