5 reasons tea is better than water

Yeh, it might have all those benefits but it still tastes like dishwater to me…

try some real tea, no tea-bags. it’s delicious with candy and cream. use small cups and sip it very hot. this recipe is a good one (but it needn’t be as strong – only pretenders do this).

Who in their right mind makes tea with cream?

Make your tea right (or move to England) and you’ll love it!

Warm teapot, couple of tea bags or even loose tea, hot water and bobs your mothers brother.

Add sugar and lots of milk to make a comforting ‘wet day’ drink, otherwise drink it with a little milk, just enough to colour it.

A scone with jam and clotted cream makes an ideal accompaniment, although the health benefits of this addition are yet to be debated.

Actually, I think the health benefits of tea go down significantly if you start adding sugar and milk. Then again, if it tastes good you should eat it. Eating healthy is overrated in my book. Even if spend your whole life eating healthy you are only going to extend your life on average by 3 months to a year. Is that really worth a lifetime of denile? Think about it

I‘ve learnt from Lao Tzu. Today, I find worldly answers looking through God’s eyes and not from man’s logic and lab equipment.

I see “tap water”, “bottled water” and especially “fizzy drinks”, are man’s creation, missing essential “Godly essences” for the healthy survival of man and animals.

Natural drinking water should be from lakes and streams that have been soaked with decomposing plant leaves, branches and roots, and the occasional dead animal. There, lays in this water, very important agents that keep germs and substances in balance for healthy living.

Civilised people of course, shun drinking from lakes and streams and are doing themselves a great disservice … thus coming up with deficient defences again diseases such as cancers.

But, the Chinese knew for centuries that boiled hot clean water soaked with fermented tea leaves, ginseng roots, certain mushrooms, flower petals and barks of trees, is at least near semblance to nature’s water. They don’t drink pure water, only tea and such likes, and for long before the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition report about the benefits of tea, and that tea is better than water.

Tom,
The next time you’re looking through God’s eyes can you see if you can figure out how I can shave 30 minutes off my best joggling marathon time. I could really use the help.

And remember, God created people and thus everything created by people is ultimately created by God. People are Nature.

Come to think of it, snake venom and the radiation from Uranium is natural too. Nature kills! I think I’ll keep drinking my man-made tap water. With a little tea dunked in no doubt.

To: justyouraveragejoggler and Cindy,

Life-Spans VS Diets:
Tortoise (Veggies Eating) 152 years
Elephant (Plant Eating) 69 years
Horse (Plant Eating) 50 years
Lion (Meat Eating) 20 years
Dog (Meat Eating) 10 years
Bee (Nectar & pollen) 4 weeks
Butterfly (Nectar only) 2 weeks

From the table above, I would be eating much more veggies than meat and would be keeping away from honey, and not waiting for the Journal of Clinical Nutrition report on the benefits of veggies over meat and that sugar is bad for you.

I see heaven created nectar inside flowers to feed bees and butterflies, which in turn effect pollination for the flowers. Human has no part in this heaven’s arrangement. Hence, there is no cause to put “goodies” in honey for the human.

I see Chemistry and the Kitchen knifes are man’s created instrument and implements, to facilitate his endeavours and livelihood. They cannot be found naturally on earth.

Sugar also cannot be found naturally on earth, but artificially produced. You can blame God for getting human hook on His delicious mangoes, peaches and oranges. After acquiring the sweet tooth, man invented sugar for his convenience to dunk it any anything he eats and drinks.

Tom, some interesting points. Although you forgot to list the billions of species of vegetarian insects that die in about 2 weeks. And the species of tortises that are carnivorous. Interesting list though.

Sugar is clearly good for people as our consumption has increased and so has our average lifespan. 200 years ago when there was a lot less sugar eaten, people were dying in their 30s. Now that we eat lots of sugar, people live well into their 80’s and even into the 100’s.

I thought knives were invented in China.

Humans are composed of chemicals, molecules, atoms, protons, neutrons and electrons just like every other thing in the Universe. When we die, we are swallowed up by the Earth and return to our rightful place with all the other particles in the Universe. We are Nature.

Thanks for the running tip. Unfortunately, time cares not what a stopwatch has to say.

Nice link Dan, thanks! I often drink tea made from non-boiling water. Of course, sometimes I just drink hot water so my taste opinion is not quite so sophisticated.

Justyouraveragejoggler,

Most people do not eat healthy because it might give you a few more years of life (and I do believe it’s many more years than yous state). Most, including myself, we have good habits now because it adds more vitality and youth to our lives NOW.

I actually enjoy healthy food. It’s not like a choice between what tastes good and what doesn’t….healthy food can be had in a delicious way.

I agree that meat eating is detrimental. Just look at people who eat lots of fresh vegetables and little or no meat, compare them to regular carnivores. The difference is striking.
