Ok..I pressed play then read where you said you got 1/2 way through and made a green tea, so I pressed stop and went and made a cup of green tea first 😄
Great insights into a healthful drink! The Today Show and Good Morning America should invite Dr. Greger to discuss green tea and other healthful foods and drinks!
I had shingles nearly the entirety of 2015 as soon as my prescription was used I needed another within days, now I drink a cup of green tea with honey in the morning and 1 at night and its been a year or so since I've had a problem
I have completely swapped my daily drink at work from black coffee to unsweetened black tea to unsweetened green tea. The effects have been dramatic. I have a rare genetic neuromuscular disease that causes me fatigue, full body inflammation, soreness, and memory problems. There is no cure and these issues get progressively worse with age. Due to this repeat expansion disorder, my cells basically get packed with misfolded proteins and don’t work well across my full body making me tired, sore, slow, grumpy, and forgetful most of the time. Caffeine has been shown in animal models of neuromuscular disease to help, but specifically green tea, which lowers the inflammation/pain, increases muscle cell function, and improves cognitive health. However, I’ve also noticed that if I do a green tea FAST at work, I can enhance and accelerate symptom relief. What I do is have a breakfast of fruit followed by a 12 hour fast drinking 3-4 cups of green tea. By midmorning I feel fantastic and able to concentrate and work efficiently! I think this has to do with the increase in autophagy. I used to purposefully avoid eating for multiple days when young to avoid increasing symptoms after digestion (soreness, weakness, fatigue, poor digestion, brain fog/depression). I always felt better on an empty stomach, since my body was forced to clean up all the excess cellular protein, but green tea allows me to eat enough to workout and perform in my career while also getting that same symptom relief from autophagy. The other curious effect of green tea is improvement in heart rhythm and prevention of arrhythmia. Since sudden cardiac arrest due to arrhythmia is the number one cause of death by my disease, I feel like a green tea habit gives me a nice blend of direct symptom relief along with reduced risk for sudden death. I have also learned to begrudgingly like the taste of plain green tea. Compared to black coffee, it’s less bitter with more health benefits. Update: I’ve also found that gargling green tea throughout the day has allowed me to avoid catching multiple viruses at the hospital where I work. So far I haven’t caught Covid twice, I avoided a cycle of RSV that swept through the staff and patients, and I haven’t had the flu all year. Last year I had to call out multiple times due to catching viruses. This year, as soon as I get a tickle or soreness in the throat or nose, I gargle green tea multiple times that day. By the next morning all symptoms are gone.
I drink japanese high quality organic matcha😄 also the caffein kick from green tea or matcha is not as strong and doesnt go directly into a nervous stomach, anxiousness and heart racing. Coffee makes me anxious in the morning before work.
Remember years ago, Dr. Greger green light for Tea (Camellia sinensis) and its L-Theanine content. Did the whole brain mapping thing, amazing effects on Alpha wave saturation, you too can meditate like a Buddhist monk.😊 Just add a little lemon for even greater bio-availability.

I had strep throat symptoms and dranked matcha and instant felt better. I was so shocked that my childhood remedy wasnt helping until I drank one cup of matcha instantly my throat was at ease
A few weeks ago i started drinking green tea. In that period,my inguinal hernia has slowly improved to the point where now all soreness is gone and most of the swelling too. Is this a coincidence? A hernia will not go away of its own accord. I did no pushing or messaging of the hernia. So what gives? I am in Ireland
I'm not sure if this has been covered on this channel before but I think it would be of great benefit if this channel covered environmental pollutants in relation to food & water
Thank you so much for the wealth of health information you share! I’m well on the way to becoming whole food plant based, and I find myself listening to you on my morning walks, before going to sleep at night, while I’m doing household chores…I’ve got your books downloaded on Audible because I really like listening to your voice as you share your nutritional wealth with us! You help me and many others every day!!
To fully benefit from green tea, it's important to steep and drink it at the right temperature and not add milk, as some people weirdly do, and also to drink several cups a day. My favourite is Chinese gunpowder green tea. 🍵
I lived in China. It is an environmental disaster zone with super polluted air, toxic water, toxic earth. Rich Chinese buy imported food. I would not drink any Chinese tea and I diligently avoid all food from China. Even companies like Trader Joe and Costco are reselling some foods from China!!!! There are no enforced environmental protection laws in China.
I agree. However, when I was in China for a few months, I visited a green tea plantation. Unlike in and around urban areas, the air was very clean. That said, I don't know what the water and soil was like@@happycook6737
Before I tucked into my current evening meal of porridge and Brussel sprouts, I had a decaf coffee - made with a thermos of green/rooibos tea. I kinda like the bitterness involved, though it's tempered with an addition of vanilla.
@@tracy9610 Though I do have to stress, the vanilla is wrapped up with the flavour combination of the teabag itself - not some essence or other thrown in at the last minute. On a similar theme, much the same as too bitter for some: green tea and mint, definitely more than just the sun of its parts. Really quite lovely.
@@Monster_Mover_Stocks There's something to do with hibiscus tea that isn't good, but I can't remember what it is. It was something I either read in How Not to Diet, or in one of Dr. Greger's videos here. It has too much of something, or it is bad in some way if consumed too much, I can't remember. Dr. Greger even changed his position on it and said to lay off it, and I did. I'll try to find the information tomorrow and I'll post it here if I do. Also, if you need sweetener, instead of honey use Yacon syrup, date syrup, or even erythritol.
@@Monster_Mover_Stocks Na, it was something else. Like high levels of something, a mineral or something toxic like a heavy metal, etc. I'm aware of the health benefits of hibiscus tea. I drank it for a while because of Dr. Greger's videos and advice. But he did, in a video or article or one of his books, state something about some newfound negative aspect(s) of hibiscus tea that made him withdraw and amend his former recommendations.
@@adamaj74 Aluminum and manganese in hibiscus. He was blending and drinking the leaves increasing the amounts ingested. So he just stuck to steeping the leaves instead of "eating" them and limiting to a Quart of filtered hibiscus tea a day. nutritionfacts.org/video/how-much-hibiscus-tea-is-too-much/
I like plant milk, which would be the best choice for green tea? Yes, I can imagine that the absorption is blocked, that's why I don't drink all green tea a day with plant milk. I have ruled out soya and oatmeal, then almond and pea milk would be available. What do you think
Das kann passieren, ist ja nicht 100% sicher, aber nur grünem Tee zu trinken, kommt auch zu kurz. Ingwer, Kurkuma, Pfeffer, Kreuzkümmel, Muskat, Koriander, grünes, Lila, Orange, rotes Gemüsen, Hülsenfrüchte usw.
Yes it is according to Dr Greger. He said you do have to make sure it is sourced from Japan and not from China to avoid heavy metal contamination. Check out his other videos on green tea for details.
Dr. Gregor does some videos or blog posts on matcha. Bottom line on matcha, since you’re actually ingesting the leaves as opposed to drinking an infusion, is to make sure your Matcha is from Japan. Matcha from other countries contains too much lead. Japanese Matcha doesn’t present that risk.❤️
Where do we find the green tea, pink powder (NPS, Japan) discussed in your book? It's listed as having the highest amount of antioxidant on the chart as compared to all other green green teas. Also, any suggestions on how to be certain we are purchasing legit tea without any possible toxins as is often the case when demand for healthy products increases, the bogus sellers also increases.
What about lead arsenic and other heavy metals in green tea? It seems that lab testing showed that some brands are above the safe limit for lead and some brands have no lead.
Those are correct ！ ( 99.9%） i drink tea mostly green tea for 40 years. i know what’s going on about green tea that affects the immune system specifically amid Covid-19….
I love your website! Its a wealth of information of evidence-based nutrition. I just ordered some green tea capsules to add to my supplement regimen. I also purchased your book 'How Not To Die'.
Hope they’re just green tea powder/matcha and not egcg extract. If not, you might do some research on the potential harms of green tea extract/egcg on the liver.
“...when green tea is decaffeinated by natural water process, it retains over 95 percent of its antioxidant components, providing all the same health benefits without the caffeine jitters.” It also retains the theanine!
I keep hearing you say that green tea is likely cancer-preventive but the studies you cite seem to contradict that: what am I missing here? Is all of the theanine in my brain just confusing me?
Bella Newler, the best green tea is from Japan n to make green tea do not use hot boiling water, just 70% hotness will do. I have been drinking Japanese green tea for more than 20 years 😊 Green tea is full of antioxidant 👍
You’d expect diminishing returns, in taste and antioxidants. I retain and add to leaves for a couple of brews in the teapot, but they’re not nice the next day
Tea is antibacterial. It's the oils in the leafs. If you steam herbs and then let it cool you will have antibacterial oils. If you have a stye on your eyelashes use tea bag hot.
Not as good, because it’s more heavily processed and diminishes the antioxidants, but it’s still quite healthy - unless & until you add milk for your ‘builders tea’ .. the milk neutralises most of the remaining antioxidant benefits. Try oolong tea, it tastes milky without needing milk. It’s midway between green and black tea,in processing terms. I drink all kinds, from black Earl grey, to white tea from fresh shoots.. Matcha and Sencha green teas are favourites, and you should try adding dried flowers like camomile, chrysanthemum, hibiscus to any teas.
I can’t drink green tea or most of the tea anymore, it makes me feel very low in energy. I drink herbal infusion. Can it be because I have kind of anemia tendancies?! If anyone knows thank you. I know what you are suppose to drink it 2 hours before or after meal the time your body ingest iron. But even like that, or when I drink it first thing in the morning before eating, I don’t feel well. I used to drink a lot of green tea in the past but not anymore..
Could be that that caffeine is dehydrating you. Try drinking a small cup of water around half an hour before you drink any caffeinated beverage. Also look into cold brewing as it realises less caffeine, which could lead you into not feeling fatigued.
The same thing happens to me if I drink green tea first thing in the morning - It makes me nauseous and drains me of energy. But if I drink it in late morning, after I've eaten and been moving around, AND if I don't over-steep it, then I experience none of those effects.
I prefer to go for an organic green tea, but I have to honestly admit that it is more expensive and not everyone can fit that into their budget. Even conventionally grown green tea has health benefits, so I would say go ahead and drink it.
Hi, @abdelilahbenahmed4350! I think that might really depend on where the green tea sold in Africa comes from, which I don't know. Dr. Greger suggests favoring green tea from Japan over tea from China, due to the risk of lead contamination. More on that here: nutritionfacts.org/video/lead-contamination-of-tea/ I hope that helps! -Christine Kestner, MS, CNS, LDN, MPH, NutritionFacts.org Health Support Volunteer

@@CoachHeyward Thanks, that was what I thought too same as Swiss water coffee process, problem I have been finding is that most of the decaf green tea boxes I have looked at don’t say a word about how they are processed. Guess you have to run a detailed search and seek on the internet lol.
Green Tea is great but please keep in mind most of the green tea sold in supermarkets is dust and fannings of low quality often stale tea stored in unhealthy tea bags (bleached, glue, metal staple, tea bags made of plastic or other strange material, etc, etc, etc). Green Tea is great but it is not magical. A number of these studies are exaggerated, etc, etc, etc.

Is green tea extract safe?
What brand would you recommend?

Not as good, because it’s more heavily processed and diminishes the antioxidants, but it’s still quite healthy - unless & until you add milk for your ‘builders tea’ .. the milk neutralises most of the remaining antioxidant benefits.

I had matcha 3 days ago:
3 days of diarrhea, nausea and pounding headache due to it

Is "Great Value" green tea( Walmart brand) just as good as a brand name ?
Don't buy any tea from China!
I prefer to go for an organic green tea, but I have to honestly admit that it is more expensive and not everyone can fit that into their budget. Even conventionally grown green tea has health benefits, so I would say go ahead and drink it.
Does green tea sold in Africa show the same health benefits as that sold in Europe , China and Japan for instance ?
Hi, @abdelilahbenahmed4350! I think that might really depend on where the green tea sold in Africa comes from, which I don't know. Dr. Greger suggests favoring green tea from Japan over tea from China, due to the risk of lead contamination. More on that here: nutritionfacts.org/video/lead-contamination-of-tea/ I hope that helps!

what about decaf green tea?
“...when green tea is decaffeinated by natural water process, it retains over 95 percent of its antioxidant components, providing all the same health benefits without the caffeine jitters.” It also retains the theanine!
@@CoachHeyward Thanks, that was what I thought too same as Swiss water coffee process, problem I have been finding is that most of the decaf green tea boxes I have looked at don’t say a word about how they are processed. Guess you have to run a detailed search and seek on the internet lol.
Green Tea is great but please keep in mind most of the green tea sold in supermarkets is dust and fannings of low quality often stale tea stored in unhealthy tea bags (bleached, glue, metal staple, tea bags made of plastic or other strange material, etc, etc, etc).
Green Tea is great but it is not magical. A number of these studies are exaggerated, etc, etc, etc.
Isn't caffeine supposed to be bad and dehydrating for you? I heard it can age your skin and not good for Migraines???
