Brewed tea contains the highest concentration of EGCG, and its concentration increases with brewing time. To maximize EGCG content, pour boiling water (not just hot water) over a green tea bag and let steep for 10 minutes before removing the bag and drinking. The only trade off with increased brewing time is a slight increase in bitterness.
how do “antioxidants” you drink reach the “free radicals” in your mitochondria 🤔🤔 im not convinced it does. i feel like it’s more truthful to say; foods with antioxidants are usually healthy whole foods while food that don’t have them are usually highly processed foods with things like added sugar… eating more whole foods make you healthy, not eating “antioxidant” -microbiologist
I was drinking green tea for a while, but then I kept getting dizzy spells. I have low blood pressure generally, so mentioned it just in passing to my doctor, and he said the green tea may be making it worse (it was also the only obvious change I made), so I stopped it. Any opinions?
I actually feel better drinking coffee and I dont feel jittery w it, but I drink green tea once in a while. It's like..ehhh. I dont feel that great drinking it. Coffee has some great benefits too, bc it is from… coffee beans! You said to not add green tea directly to boiling water so what r u saying exactly? Didnt say. I guess add it to hot water, not boiling?
What brands do you recommend as "good brands" and "not the cheap stuff"? Kinda vague there, especially because everyone has a different idea of what that is.
I was a 2 pot of coffee a day person. So I created a rule. No coffee after I leave the house. I still wanted a hot beverage so I switched to tea at the office and at night. I know there's still caffeine but not enough to keep me up. My favorite teas come from Oliver Pluff and Company and Chinese grocery stores. I buy it loose and make up my own tea bags. Also I use a thermometer to make sure the water isn't above 160°.

Now that you've talked about real health benefits of a tea, try searching YouTube for anything related to herbal teas to see a disgusting trend of pseudoscience. For example, try searching for "herbal teas review". Some of the health claims that show up from such an innocent search are concerning.
Do you poor boiling water in first then dip it? How is it best to do it without killing the 'good stuff', also Lemon has Vitamin C, I also though Vitamin C denatures super easily with Hot/Boiling water? so can it still help or is it more of a phycological thing? @Doctormike
is it different if its ice green tea
Should I avoid putting sugar in green tea ?
green tea gives me good sleep.
Everything sounded great, I was going to drink green tea but then you got to 7 and I now will not drink green tea
But don't buy sweetened tea or tea with aspartame or sucralose. Buy only unsweetened tea.
Bia😂😂

Gunpowder green tea. The kind that is in a green cube box, from Shanghai is the best tea you can get.

I managed two cups a day, could probably do a third, but I can't imagine drinking four cups a day. I'd never sleep haha.

Which type of green tea is the best.
The one with honey, strawberry, mint or jasmine flowers?
If you have time in the day to make and drink 5 cups of green tea, you probably already are a pretty healthy person to begin with
i mix green tea, avc, turmeric, honey. is that ok?
I love the brits accent.
Dr. Mike is an innocent bean, and we must protect him at all costs
Can i drink it with some honey or just pure green tea?
are these the same with iced green tea?
Is there a need for a stethoscope in the video 😂
