Is Too Much Tea Bad for You?

Is Too Much Tea Bad For Your Health?Becky Striepe

A recent U.K. study looked at tea and health, and the results might surprise you.
Fluoride is a controversial compound. Here in the U.S., many municipalities add it to the water supply in the name of improving dental health, but some research suggests that too much fluoride could be bad for us. In fact, groups like Fluoride Out advocate against adding fluoride to drinking water for a slough of reasons. So, what does fluoride have to do with tea and health?
No matter what your stance is as far as fluoridated drinking water, there is strong evidence that too much fluoride can be detrimental to our health. More than 4mg per day can cause bone decay, muscle problems, and even chronic pain.

A U.K. study at the University of Derby found that many bulk brands of supermarket black tea contained 75 to 120 percent of your daily value of fluoride. Combine that with other fluoride sources, like fluoridated drinking water or toothpaste, and avid tea-drinkers could be taking in far more than the recommended dosage of fluoride.
Tea and Health
The study compared 38 brands of U.K. tea and found that “economy” teas and instant teas – especially supermarket brands – tended highest in fluoride. The supermarket brands they studied included Asda, Tesco, Morrisons and Sainsbury’s. Infused green tea blends were next highest on the list, with specialty teas like oolong following. closely behind.
This most recent study costs $42 to download, but you can check out excerpts of some previous research into tea and health over at Fluoride Action Network.
Unfortunately, companies don’t have to disclose fluoride levels as part of a product’s nutritional information, but as a result of this research experts are calling for a change in labelling laws

Herb Teas: Your Liver

The Liver is the largest Organ in the body. You can cut half of the liver away and it has the power to regenerate. The liver is your life giver. The quality of life is dependent on the quality of the liver. The muscles, tendons, eyes and your strength are controlled and fed by the liver. Remember the Heart is a muscle. 
According to Tao, it is believe that the female reproductive organ is controlled by the Liver and all the diseases of the female parts are treated taking consideration of this organ.
Blood pressure, Cortisol, insulin and fats are all under the influence of the liver. There is a balancing act between Cortisol and DHEA.( Dehydroepiandrosterone), DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is an endogenous hormone (made in the human body) secreted by the adrenal gland. DHEA serves as precursor to male and female sex hormones (androgens and estrogens), when Cortisol levels go up DHEA levels come down, and when DHEA levels go up Cortisol levels come down. Raised Cortisol will lead to raised blood sugar, which will bring about, raise Insulin resistance, resulting in a metabolic disorder and a build up of fats in the Liver. The cause of type 2, Diabetes and Obesity.
This organ (Liver) speaks to the thyroid gland and is one of the organs that assist in converting T4 cell to T3. Estrogens and Thyroxin binding Globulins are made by the Liver. Thyroxin Binding Globulins binds to T4 to convert into T3. But High levels of Estrogens, raises the production of Thyroxin Binding Globulins which lowers the numbers of T4 available to converted into T3 causing Hypothyroidism. Which inevitably lead to Diabetes and Obesity.
The Liver also acts like a warehouse and stores the nutrients to be released to the body as needed, Similar to the fuel tank in you car. The faster you drive the car the more fuel you use up, hence those who live on the fast track inevitably have a shorter life span. On this note is is wise to be aware the more you eat the lazier you get and this can lead to a diseased state of body and mind. 
Now if your car demanded more fuel and you got less MPG, then you will soon have it seen to, in the same way we should consider the body. There is no excuse to be made, saying, 'he is a growing lad and needs more food'. If you are putting on Fat as a result then you can be sure you are not burning off your calories. In put should match output.
In the East we believe, The Liver is the seat of the Soul and Love is stored in the Liver, which is expressed by the Heart. We say in the East,' I love you with my Heart and Liver' In the West we have a similar saying,' I love you with my Heart and my Soul'.
In the scriptures it is said the Spirit flows in the Blood, and we know Blood feeds the Liver. The purerer the blood, the better quality liver we will have. Before you can Love any other, you must learn to Love you Liver.
In the process of digestion the Liver drains the bile into the Gall Bladder. Regular draining of the Liver causes Harmony within, but if the Gall Bladder does not empty then this can bring about Anger. The Taoist say,' Anger destroys the Liver, in the West we say, 'Anger destroys the Soul'. If a person has no regards for their Liver, be aware they can never truly Love you, no matter what sweet words they used to seduce you.
It is important to know, there is no free meal where drugs are concerned. All drugs and pharmaceuticals make their way to the Liver. It can be stored here and do optimum damage to the organ and its function. Contaminated foods, smoking, excess alcohol, parasites, viruses, worms and house hold chemicals, including cosmetic, harm the Liver one way or another.
To improve the quality of the Liver it is wise to detoxify and cleanse the Organ. I recommend, 'Herbal Liver Mix' that will assist the liver to function better and it will also help to get rid of the Liver Fluke, which is very easy to acquire and very hard to get rid of. The Liver Fluke is believed to cause many unnecessary problems, bringing about a diseased state in the body and mind. The Liver goes out of its way to nourish, and protect you. 'Greater Love, no man will ever have'. Now, do you Love your Liver?

Herbal Kidney Tea

The Kidneys are a bean shaped, fist size organ whose task is to filter  blood and remove the waste. The blood enters the kidneys via the Renal Artery and leaves via the Renal Vein. Inside each kidney, blood is channeled into a million tiny filters, called a glomerulus (the plural is glomeruli). Glomeruli are joined to small tubes (tubules) to make nephrons and each nephron is surrounded be a network of capillaries. At the end of each nephron is the Glomerulus, contained in a cup-shaped Bowman's Capsule. It is here that urine is formed.

Kidney function is divided into three parts: Filtration, Re-absorption & Secretion. In the course of the day 150 litres (33gallons) of filtrate passes into the nephrons - As the fluid passes along these tubes, small molecules such as fats, sugars, salts, amino-acids pass from the  capillary into the tubules. Protein molecules, too large and hence are passed out into the blood. After Filtration the fluids of filtrates, is taken back into the blood stream (reabsorbed) which 100 times the average daily amount of urine.

During Secretion hydrogen & Potassium ions are removed from the blood and added to the filtrates to be excreted as urine. Where it finally goes into the ureter and down into the bladder.

The Kidneys, balance the fluid and chemical levels in the body. Retain valuable substances, release Hormones, control Blood Pressure, make red blood cells, and maintain healthy bones and teeth.

Ageing taxes the Urinary System. Learn to lessen the ageing by adapting a healthy life style. This is achieved through taking enough rest, drinking adequate fluids, avoiding smoking, drink less alcohol, eat a proper & balance diet and get regular exercise.

To improve the function of the kidneys it is important to keep it healthy and clean. remove the build up of debrey from within. this will assist the kidneys and enhance the task. I personally recommend to drink 3 cups of Herbal Kidney Tea a day. Herbal Kidney tea is also know to assist those suffering from Prostrate problems and control Blood Pressure.
