Moderate Tea Drinking May Help Reduce Cardiac Risk - Page 3

My parents were tea drinkers. I strarted drinking coffee when I went to work and continued until recently.

I had to go into rehab for PT & OP. I considered the coffee might not be to my liking, so I went with tea. It was when I came home I decided to be a tea drinker again.

Hi John,

They aren't saying not to drink coffee, just that it's a neutral, meaning it hasn't been found to hurt or help with cardiovascular issues.

FYI: You might remember that I posted the same findings a couple of years ago from the American Heart Association about tea. This study only reinforces what the Heart Association has been saying for several years now.

My turn to recommend something, @SilleeMee.

'Kirkland Ito En Matcha Blend Japanese Green Tea' from Costco.
You can get it there in-person, on their website, on Amazon, and on Ebay.

It's a tasty mix of Japanese Matcha tea and Chinese Sencha tea.
I'm thinking that your enjoymment of matcha just might be inherited, huh?
Arigato gozaimasu @feline groovy,
Gonna have to check out that Kirkland stuff! I don't shop at Costco but I think I saw it on jet dot com's site. Is the tea liquid in a can like this?
I think my blood is green. The other half of me is Irish...LOL!:womanlol:

@SilleeMee
Wow!

the Kirkland Signature match/sencha tea comes like this:

I don't shop at Costco either, so I just buy it online.

Make sure you follow the special (but easy) instructions. 8)

Hi @Noel7,

I am and always have been a believer that the most important factors, when it comes to heart disease, are eliminating as many of the Major Heart Risk Factors as possible.

Some cannot be changed, such as age and genetics. Most of the others like: weight/food program/Blood Pressure/Cholesterol Levels/Smoking/Exercise Levels, and minimally, gender.

To me those factors together, plus genetics, are the bigger risk that what a person chooses to drink. Ignore all those Major Risk Factors, but drink tea? I'll stick with lowering or completely eliminating all those Risk Factors as possible.

At one time with the AHA, wine was good as was caffeinated coffee. Gender was listed high on the list, now woman are almost as likely as men to suffer a heart attack. I have seen the changes, but the main ones are still the ones I listed above.

Always like those, especially my cyber-friends putting up information about anything to do with ones health and/or fitness. My intent was not meant to diminish what you have posted, it is/was meant to also inform, there is much more to Cardiovascular Disease, than what a person chooses as their drink(s). =^..^=

" Ignore all those Major Risk Factors, but drink tea?"

John,

Surely you know NO ONE said that or even implied it.

You don't have to drink tea at all but I will. I do whatever I can. If tea MIGHT help, I'm on it. Actually, I already was on it

hckynut · ‎03-10-2010

@Noel7

Noel, I IMPLIED it. Why? Because I have met and talked with many that liked to show or tell me about these types of studies. See, john! I drink "whatever". They actually believed it.

Some also believed the old "heart theory". Your heart had "X number of beats in your life, thus increasing your heart rate by exercising=shorter life". Those I have actually experienced by many people.

As I said, people make their own choices. Not me, via implication or the way I usually do. "Tell it like I see it/believe it".

I do not say or type things just to be talking or typing, or to get noticed. Maybe .0009% of the time I might misspeak or type, stuff happens.

Hi @goldensrbest

Boy, I could use some ice tea right now, I don't care what kind!

It's Indian Summer where I am and we're in a heat wave, 89 degrees yesterday, 81 today.

I know that's not much for some people, but we're used to fog, AND very few people here have AC. I don't know of any store or movie theater that has AC either.
