Well you certainly validated my behavior, as the only beverage I have is green tea. Later I started grated fresh ginger into it. Drinking a minimum of 4 8oz cups every day. Now 78 and trying to keep very active hopefully until 100, coupled with a diet mainly of brown rice, beans, fresh vegetables,sea weed fish and fermented foods. Thank you for your valuable tutorial.
Finally I am doing something right ! Green tea, Black tea, cold tea, hot tea, but absolutely no sugar in my tea. I am from the Midwest US and we drink unsweetened tea and the south loves their sweet tea.
Another very helpful video. I'm a coffee drinker and I used to be a tea drinker. I'm trying now to have one cup of coffee and 3 cups of tea. Along with copious amounts of water. Consequently I can never leave home. Thanks docs. 😊
I just brewed a cup of decaf green tea. When I heard that it can lower LDL and improve athletic performance, I’m in! I’m 63, run regularly and eat healthy but my cholesterol is too high. I’ve been eating oatmeal for breakfast for months and that’s helped! Thanks for good info that isn’t selling me something!
Drank tea every morning til I started taking Ozempic, switched to 1 cup of black coffee to help everything move along, but will try to add green tea in the afternoon after watching this.
I lived in England for 3 years back in the '70s and that really increased my tea drinking. Made me a real tea lover! So hey, will you guys do one on coffee?
Pot of green tea every day. First cup, 1 tblsp lemon juice, 1 tblsp ginger juice, stevia. I juice a few pounds each of organic lemons and ginger then freeze in cubes.
Never drank tea until I turned 50 and was having struggles with menopause. My GP Doctor suggested green tea as a calming drink. I loved it instantly. Sadly, though, it tends now to relax my stomach valve and I have issues with a hiatal hernia and GERD. I limit when and how much I drink it but I still enjoy it. Quit coffee 40 years ago and never looked back.
I usually have 2 mugs of Tea in afternoon and evening. I often add herbs - dried Hibiscus, which gives a deep red color and is very high in Vitamin C - or Peppermint and Ginger. And fresh Lemon Juice. And a bit of Raw Honey or Raw Sugar.
Hi Docs! I've been drinking a cup of black tea every morning for many years now. (Many)😁 I don't like green tea. But, just for it's benefits, I've started throwing a bag of it in my mug along with my black tea, and it's actually making me feel better. As long as I can feel a difference, I'll keep drinking it. Thanks for another great video! You guys are the best!! 💜
Love these guys!! Reminds me of when I worked as Xray Tech in the ER decades ago. The ortho Drs were always a hoot and brought a smile to the day. These two are similar and entertaining!! Keep the videos coming!!
I love you guys. I drink oolong teas, also called "brown" tea because it's green tea just slightly oxidated. But you didn't mention that. With Oolong I can still get my Earl Grey taste without all the oxalates found in black tea that cause my calcium oxalate kidney stones. Any thoughts on this my wonderful doctors?
I discovered the benefits of green tea a couple of years ago. I drink 2-3 cups daily and have grown to enjoy the experience greatly. Thanks for confirming what I thought I knew about the benefits. Definite no raised pinkie however.
When I lived in the Netherlands, a place where coffee reigns supreme, I found a shop that sold a LOT of loose leaf tea. I grew up drinking tea, but I thought all tea was black tea. The store in the Netherlands sold tea from around the world! Did you know there is a variety that’s naturally caffeine free? It was so much fun to experiment. 😊
Just found out I’ve got high ldl cholesterol and have read about this. I hate the flavour of green tea but need to start drinking it. My garlic intake is actually quite high. I stink… and need to go to the bathroom a lot (green tea strikes again…) My mum will never get cancer at this point, she drinks at least 10 cups a day, we call her highlander… Another amazing video, everyone should watch you guys, you’ve helped a cynical Brit become a fan…
Love green tea! It was an acquired taste because I drank black tea all my life (sweetened), but now I'm a believer, especially after watching your informative video. Green tea it is! No sugar, but with a hint of lemon.
I love tea Earl Gray, I brew ginger tea with ginger root and mix that with green tea after it steeps Cut up ginger root. Boil it. Let it sit. Then pour it in a container and put it in the refrigerator to store it or drink it warm. You can drink ginger tea plain or with honey and lemon 🍋 or sugar
Love the video! I switched to green tea ( a mug a day at teatime) around 20 years ago and am now a tea lover! Here in Germany there are many tea stores with loose leaf teas. Wonderful! I also discovered white tea. I think it's similar to green tea. Greetings from a fellow Canadian now living in Germany. I really enjoy your videos! Canadian humour 😅
People that want something other than black tea but don't like the taste of green tea might like to try Darjeeling tea as a good compromise. It is a black tea but has little tannin in it and so has a very mild flavour no matter how long you brew it for.
If you think green teen tea tastes bad or weedy or grassy try Salada Green Tea. I buy it at Kroger. For me, this one is very mild and palatable. I drink plain caffeinated, but it also comes in decaf and lemon.
I like hot tea in the winter but since Texas has about 10 months of summer, I drink iced tea most of the time. I've had hot tea at Victoria Station and I enjoy drinking it hot. But the temperature of the tea depends on the temperature of the weather and it's never cold enough for me to drink hot tea. I enjoy a morning cup of coffee but with an endless summer, I don't drink it every day. I've tried green tea but haven't found one that I like as well as black tea. The one time you really want the tannins is after a tooth extraction if the bleeding won't stop. Biting down on a wet tea bag will stop the bleeding. And it's the tannins in the tea that does it. What's a few tannins when you're bleeding! I love how you're giving us benefits of foods and drinks! They say we are what we eat! Now I just picture Dr Zalzal as a giant chicken wing!😂 I guess that would make Dr Weening a giant leaf of kale!😉 The benefit of watching you two is how you make learning fun! And you don't just talk about medication and procedures, you talk about everything that affects us and you give us a good laugh! They say laughter is the best medicine and you are proving that in every video! Thanks for the information and thanks for the laughs!👍
My Boss is ninety four and he drinks tea three times a day and he is so healthy no dimenshia, no diabetes, no high blood pressure. He orders everything he needs on Amazon himself. He always says that the tea helps him.
As for how to take it, I have learned to mix a whole bunch of mint with one litter of juice to calm my stomach and get a much stronger effect. I would consider mixing green tea leaves with smoothie or so
Both of you are so much fun to watch, and you constantly in form us. Confirming the reasons for drinking green tea. Thanks again for the information. ❤❤❤
Daily green tea drinker, ie 12 daily, I get a boost for my endurance exercise, also my mood is calmer, alert. My aches seem to ease. Also a tsp of Matcha daily. I also find it cancels my craving for something sweet early in the day. But I do have some fruit with another strong green tea in the afternoon.
Another great health topic. Thank you, both. Regarding the anti-inflammatory properties of green tea. It really helps with the osteoarthritis pain in my knees. A very noticeable reduction in pain. I did NOT get that same effect with black tea.
I love unsweetened iced tea. I used to drink coffee in the morning and it would spike my blood sugar (I don't eat breakfast to have a longer fasting period) Now I make iced tea. No spikes! Also in the afternoon I'll have a peach infused tea and or a mint green tea. Love it. So refreshing! Thanks Docs! Love hearing more about the studies and what I can do to make small changes! Like waiting a few minutes after I crush garlic before i use it.
I drink hot tea in the warmer months in the morning and evening, with iced tea during the day. I always have a gallon of tea made in the refrigerator. I drink hot tea all day long in the winter. Love experimenting with different kinds. I was sipping a cup as I watched the video. Really enjoy your videos.
For over 60 years I have consumed a large glass of home-made iced tea (Liptons, black), with lemon, no sugar. I can't prove it's allowed me to remain in good health, but this video has boosted my confidence. I may even experiment with green tea.
Having lived in England for 15 years, I became an ardent tea drinker. Twinings, Fortnum & Mason and others - but I LOVE good, old, PGTips every day. ‘Builders’ Tea’!😅 I have a large mug of it instead of coffee. (sssh . . . with creamer and honey).😋 Love your videos!! 🙋♀️🇺🇸🥰‼️
Question: My friend told me that green tea can cause heart palpatations. Is this true? I have A-fib and would love to drink green tea, but this has me concerned. Please respond. Thank you! I love your channel and the two of you great docs!!
I am drinking green tea right now, with ginger roots what I cut and turmeric root what I cut up and organic raw unfiltered and half lemon and I drink it twice a day. Morning and evening 😄 0:56
@@TalkingWithDocsyes that was my question. Does adding hot milk to the brewed black tea change its properties? I Will keeping the tea bag in the tea for an extended time change its properties negatively, or makes no difference? I’ll really appreciate your response. I’ll try with ginger, lemon and some turmeric to help my taste buds. My next question is can you make a batch of 3 -4 cups for the whole day instead of preparing it each time?
Yup! Drink green tea every day, including from a great Montreal importer: Camilla Sinensis. Their matcha is the best. Makes a huge difference to have a good quality matcha. Started cutting open the plastic tea bags and drop the leaves into a tea sieve to avoid the microplastics.
This is awesome!! I now only order my loose leaf teas right from Japan. I use the company Neoteas to order. I am trying to move from coffee to green tea
Thank you, Docs. I'd have my tea intravenously if possible. Love my tea but I have black with milk. I have organic everything if possible. I would say to have unbleached teabags and stitched instead of gummed bags (i.e. Clipper) but not sure how I would check for heavy metals. Has to be piping hot (I used to think boiling, but apparently that was only due to unsafe water decades ago) and always best from thin bone china. All the fingers can't get through the handle so the little finger has to go somewhere .... 😊 I will try Matcha and Green tea now, as well, thanks to you. (Docs, I've heard of 'spilling the beans' but not the tea). 🤔
I drink 3-5 cups of tea every day, no matter the season. I always start the day with green tea with some ginger, turmeric and red chili flakes. As the day goes on, I switch to black teas and herbal teas. STASH and Republic of Tea teas are favorites of mine and they do not have plastic coverings. I am 63, eat mostly a vegetarian diet, and my blood work is always well within normal limits.
I've been drinking 3-4 cups of tea each day for over 40 years (I'm now 81), and have always been told my cholesterol is great. I only drink loose tea, so no tea bags. I love Darjeeling, but also like green tea in the afternoon.
I love tea! My Dad and Mom always drank tea. My whole family loves tea except for one of my brothers.🤭 Maybe it’s because my great grandparents are from Wales and England why we love tea so much.😊 Thanks for another fun but factual video!🫖😊🇺🇸❤️
Hey Docs! Thanks for the tea-rrific video! I like to start my morning with a big 16oz mug of green tea w/ a teaspoon of honey. Sometimes I'll add a little ginger, too.
Tazo brand of green tea is good. I've been drinking one cup of green tea in the morning, then I move on to 2 cups of coffee. Then just lots of water. Do The Docs recommend eating more mushrooms for anti-cancer benefits?
I love my morning 2-3 cups of green tea. The organic green tea I've been buying for many years comes in a non-paper tea bag. I'm now a bit worried because my tea comes in that non-paper little bag, which looks like nylon. Thank you for the tea bag safety information. Will switch to paper. Thank you for this one and all your other helpful videos!
You might still be ok. The bags could be corn starch, but look and feel like nylon (i.e. Tea Pigs brand). It should say on the pack. If changing, I would say to go for unbleached bags, sewn, not gummed (i.e., Clipper). Life isn't simple if you care, is it!
Capt Picard got me drinking tea many moons ago. I started with tea hot earl grey, now I go with green, unsweetened. Many years ago, read a book on toxicology and he mentioned Caffeine is one of five alkaloids in a family and coffee/tea have a differing ration of these. Curious if it's worth a video to talk about this in regards to differing coffee tea processing and the ratio of better alkaloids? This might be a bit off from mainstream. Any studies of other plants with these alkaloids? Matcha is very popular in south America. I'm sure there are others.

Yay! Finally I'm doing something good for my health. I'm not a coffee drinker, BUT tea is my bag! Sorry, had to say that. Carry on fellas. :)
Thanks, docs. You’re such an island of sense!
Does decaf green tea have same health benefits as regular?
Yes
I love my morning 2-3 cups of green tea. The organic green tea I've been buying for many years comes in a non-paper tea bag. I'm now a bit worried because my tea comes in that non-paper little bag, which looks like nylon. Thank you for the tea bag safety information. Will switch to paper. Thank you for this one and all your other helpful videos!
You might still be ok. The bags could be corn starch, but look and feel like nylon (i.e. Tea Pigs brand). It should say on the pack. If changing, I would say to go for unbleached bags, sewn, not gummed (i.e., Clipper). Life isn't simple if you care, is it!
Been drinking green tea since 1986. Organic green tea..
Wow that’s awesome. You’re a pioneer!
Every morning I brew up a cup of Himalayan Green Tea which is Non GMO, Gluten Free High Elevation Grown Green Tea Leaves. I really look forward to it.
In what universe does any tea have gluten in it?
Capt Picard got me drinking tea many moons ago. I started with tea hot earl grey, now I go with green, unsweetened.
Many years ago, read a book on toxicology and he mentioned Caffeine is one of five alkaloids in a family and coffee/tea have a differing ration of these. Curious if it's worth a video to talk about this in regards to differing coffee tea processing and the ratio of better alkaloids? This might be a bit off from mainstream.
Any studies of other plants with these alkaloids? Matcha is very popular in south America. I'm sure there are others.
Definitely love Green Tea. Oolong Tea and Jasmine Tea!
Very nice
