Does Tea Really Keep Us Healthy?

I drink tea. Green tea to be more precise. In Hong Kong, it's customary to drink tea during/after meals. Most of my Chinese friends say it's to clean your stomach and get rid of the oils you've ingested.

I'd like to think that, too much of anything is not good. Tea in moderation is a good thing but too much of it becomes unhealthy. It's sort of like coffee. It has caffeine and has health benefits in moderation. Too much isn't good.

hi getbrowser



well i have the habbit of drinking tea, i am addicted to it, no not coffee at all but TEA!... well tea is at least lot better than coffee, at least it has got lesser caffeine, but i have i have heard a lot about green tea, i sure would like to have that someday, they say it is pretty much good for your health... i have to give it a try someday...

I am a tea drinker but just last month i was advised to refrain from drinking it. It triggers acid that causes my reflux. Im a way it's helping me to manage my constipation concern and relaxes me to sleep, but is making my esophagitis reflux worst.

Taking tea or coffee in excess will be dangerous as it will have some side effects. Besides that tea leaves are not for all people as their body type is different. So some people will have some reactions. Tea should be taken only when you want to stay fresh but first see if it fits body type. Some people don't like the taste of tea either so they should avoid that as well.

There are some herbal tea variations in the market maybe that will help some people drink tea. Herbal tea has no side effects only thing is that they're not available everywhere.

I only ever drink tea. I used to drink lots of coffee but I found that the caffeine wasn't a good experience as I would like it too strong. Tea has caffeine but less of it and other good things in it too. I find my blood pressure is low and I feel fine. Derek

I don't know much about it but as per people i listened from them that it is not good for health...I don't know about the reason...But they told me that drinking more tea is not good....But you are telling just different thing...lets see other responses for more detail.

I hope so. I love Tea and drink it all the time. I prefer it to Coffee which I will only have an occasional cup. I prefer the taste of tea - I think it tastes way better than coffee and it is smoother. I like mine with milk and sugar, so I don't know how healthy that becomes after I add all that sugar..:) But is reported to have antioxidants.
I think having a little less caffeine is probably better for you.
of course I then will drink about 3 cups a night (while I am at work) so it probably evens out.:)

i have habit of drinking one cup tea daily.. if any one drink more it relax the lower esophagus sphinter in our body it risult in regurgitation of gastric content into esophagus it may produce ulcer.. finaly end in cancer..so be aware

hi friend, i live in china and i know people love tea how much here, especially to those managing business. but i do not like drinking tea, i do not know it is good or not to one's health. three or four cups in a day is enough i think. the reason i do not like tea is that if you drink it everyday, your teeth would get dirty, it happened to my grandfather.

I have also heard that drinking tea is healthy. It has anti-oxidants that help remove the toxins inside the body. What I do is that after every full meal, I would drink tea. It helps me not to feel too much bloated after eating.
