Anyone of you guys using green tean as a regular drink? How do you find it so far? There are a lot of websites about this ancient drink claiming health benefits especially on prevention of the following - cancer, CVD - high blood pressure, blood sugar etc. Plus it's antioxidant properties.
I do, 2x a day. I use tea bags, not the instant nor the ready to drink bottled variety (to keep my sugar intake low). I find it soothing and helps me get through the day (especially through a very boring day ) and a cheaper alternative to coffee. I'm not sure about it's fat loss properties though, any thoughts?
i used to drink tea. i prefer it over coffee because of it's lower caffeine contents. as for the fat loss - sakin di tumalab (maybe it's because i wasn't working out seriously before, hehehe.) but when i was still drinking tea, i did notice that my skin was tighter.

Dont buy those "green tea" na powder ice tea, they're nothing more than sugared mixes of "ala nestea" na iniba lasa, it has none of the real potency of leaves and tea bags.
Personally, I drink the leaf type, mura lang sa HK, kilo-kilo binibili hehe.
i used to drink lot's of green tea (chinese brand) & it's mainly to cut pounds...& guess what, with the right diet & regular excercise i lose 20 lbs in 1 year...btw, i drink only 1 bag every night before going to sleep & the effect is like clockwork - i.e. 8 hours after...boom...hehehe...quick trip to the toilet
kaso i read this article before in a magazine w/c states that it has a bad effect & that it might cause colon cancer...
so eto na naman ang link ni david, mukhang babalik na naman ako sa green tea...my question now, is what are the ingredients to look for & what to avoid...and then again, paano ko malalaman dahil chinese tea nga ang iniinom ko?
After my very long layoff (5 1/2 years), which raises my cholesterol and blood sugar my wife bought me a Green Tea (forgot the name) which she used to drink before we got married. She said it help her shed off some unwanted fats and regulates her bowel movement. So I tried it for 6 months, together with simple diet and workout my cholesterol and sugar level dramatically lowers as if i been taking medication. It also help my digestion.
hehe,, you guys should realy take into consideration kung ano tlga nagagawa ng antioxidants.. ang pinaka popular effect nya is pagpapatino ng blood flow, meaning. supplement sya,, ngayon.. kya sya nakakapayat, kse nagcardio ka(naglakad ka or basta gumalaw ka, it increases your metabolism kse kpag ok ung takbo ng blood flow mo ü) ngayon,, kya ung ibang tao pumapayat sa green tea a day, kse, nakakawala ng appetite ang green tea.. ;) i eat green tea straight from the tea bag man. trust me on this.. ;)
