I have some passion berry Synergy Kombucha (those big bottles) and a large mug of green tea.
I have some passion berry Synergy Kombucha (those big bottles) and a large mug of green tea.
Is there anything wrong with having both simultaneously?
I think Kombucha can make your heart race due to something to do with lactic acid??

When you become aware of all the toxins in our food chain, it is refreshing to know that certain health drinks can help you eliminate some of those toxins. The secret of daily detox is to consume safe, gently cleansing health drinks consistently enough to gain the benefits.
Maybe you’ve tried one of the popular detox diets that lasts a few, painful days. Unfortunately, as soon as you’re done cleansing, the toxins start going right back in immediately. That seems like taking out the garbage once in a while, but watching it pile up again. Daily detox with gently cleansing health drinks makes more sense. It allows the body to stay clean and healthy on a consistent basis.
To understand more about toxins in our food chain read, “Lake Effect” by Nancy Nichols. Speaking about this topic on National Public Radio, September 30th, 2008, she described a personal quest for the cause of her sister’s death from ovarian cancer. While working on the book, Nichols received her own diagnosis of a rare form of cancer, which requires aggressive treatment. “My story was my sister’s once over,” she writes. It is this sort of life altering event that motivates people to seek out natural health drinks or other alternative resources for detoxifying the body.
Nichols documented evidence of the many different forms of pollution that may have contributed to the cancers. She came to the conclusion that it was the fish she ate which created the direct pathway delivering toxins from the polluted waters to her body. The fish she consumed came primarily from the Great Lakes region, specifically near where she grew up in Waukegen, Illinois, on the shores of Lake Michigan.
An abundance of evidence points to proof that there are high levels of mercury and other toxic chemicals in fish from all over the world. Swordfish and tuna have long been known to carry dangerous levels of mercury, and experts suggest you eat them sparingly. In addition to decreasing your consumption of these toxins, you may wish to protect yourself further with health drinks that provide a daily detox of the liver and tissues where these pollutants often settle in the human body.
When searching for specific health drinks for daily detox it is important to be sure that they are gentle and that they taste good. You have to be able to drink them regularly, instead of just plain water. You want something so gentle and effective that you can drink it on a daily basis without major lifestyle changes. Granted, you’ll probably urinate more often, but that means the health drinks are working. When your urine has a strong odor or a dark color then you probably have some toxins in your blood stream that need to be eliminated. When you see the color changing from bright yellow to clear then you know the health drinks are working to cleanse those toxins. One note- it is not unusual for most people to have more color in their urine first thing in the morning as they eliminate the toxins from the day before.
The health drinks I have found to be most effective for daily detox taste good and are made entirely from whole food, plant based ingredients. They work perfectly with the body’s natural processes of elimination and they boost your drinking water with powerful antioxidants for even more anti-aging benefits. I’ve never seen drinks that fit this description in any retail stores, just on the net. I suggest you search the Internet for all natural health drinks that allow for safe, gentle, daily detox.

Julian Tai asked:
Green tea, long used as both a beverage and a medicine in China, is gaining popularity in the rest of the world. As research indicates more and more benefits from drinking it, various companies are manufacturing green tea supplements. These can be useful for those who either do not wish to drink tea, or who want higher concentrations of the antioxidant and fat-burning properties than are readily available through drinking tea as a beverage.
Green Tea Benefits
Its health benefits are varied. It has been shown to lower cholesterol, burn and oxidize fat, and fight free radicals. Worldwide studies indicate that it may be useful in fighting cancer and diabetes. It has even more antioxidants than broccoli! It is also thought to be an anti-inflammatory that may help sufferers of arthritis. It is no wonder that people want to take this miraculous food in concentrated capsule or liquid form.
Supplements Potency
The amount of green tea varies from one brand to another. Liquid extracts are generally more concentrated than capsules. Labels will sometimes claim that a serving is equivalent to a certain number of cups of tea.
If you are taking green tea supplements for their high antioxidant properties, look at the label. It will tell you how many milligrams of tea antioxidants it contains. In addition, it will usually guarantee a particular percentage of epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG. This is the name of the polyphenol that is so beneficial as an antioxidant.
Weight Loss Magic
This tea has been touted for its efficacy as a weight loss aid. The polyphenols it contains interact with other chemicals to increase fat burning, or thermogenesis. Green tea extract is used in combination with other ingredients in many weight loss and muscle building formulas.
Supplements Versus The Real Thing
Should you take a green tea supplement, or drink it? That’s probably a matter of taste. There is no conclusive evidence that a supplement provides greater health benefits than drinking tea, or vice versa. Tea is generally less expensive, and there is the added benefit that you will be drinking extra water in all of those cups of tea. The bottom line is, take it any way you want, but get your cup of tea in every day!

John Pawlett asked:
Green tea has always been known to have several health benefits, but who knew that it could contribute to losing weight as well?
A recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition show that green tea extract can increase metabolism and fat oxidation of the body. In theory, scientists believe that the weight loss benefits of green tea extracts are due to their caffeine content but the results of the study show otherwise as they discovered that green tea extracts have weight loss benefits beyond that of caffeine.
In their study, the researchers administered alone the same amount of caffeine as that in tea extracts but found that it did not make any significant changes in the body’s overall energy expenditure. This led them to conclude that tea extracts have ingredients in them that actively interact with each other, promoting increased metabolism and fat oxidation that lead to loss of weight.
Further findings indicated that a certain compound found in tea full of the extracts might be the ingredient that causes weight loss. These extract compounds called Flavonoids may alter the way the body uses norepinephrine, a hormone that monitors how calories are burned. When flavonoids interact with other extract ingredients, more calories are burned thus contributing to loss of weight.
Another ingredient that actively contributes to the weight loss benefits of green tea is the compound catechin polyphenols. These compounds also interact with other extract ingredients in order to promote lossing weight by fat burning and thermogenesis (a process of losing energy by daytime heat).
The great thing about the loss of weight benefit of extracts is that it does not have any adverse side-effects. Unlike other herbal products like ephedra and prescription drugs for obesity, green extract does not increase the speed of heart rates or raise blood pressure. In this regard, tea is an effective and safer alternative to other weight loss products which may cause harm to the user.
The study conducted by the University of Geneva on the loss of weight benefit of the extract implicated that green tea can also help thyroid patients. According to dietitian Lynn Moss, M.S., R.D.,tea extracts are a healthier choice for people with thyroid who may be too sensitive to stimulants. tea can promote loss of weight by increasing metabolism without over stimulating the adrenal glands.
A common beverage all throughout Asia, healthy tea has recently gained popularity in the West. Further researches were conducted to identify other health benefits of tea extracts aside from weight loseing. It was found that certain extract compounds can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, and even ulcers.
