Thread: REAL Green tea and Chinese Stress Balls

I have a question. I know and have read some posts about Greentea being really good for you, especiallly when working out. WHat does it do for you exactly.? I buy the real greentea "badia" brand and add raw honey to give it taste. I usually drink a cup of that in the morning and a cup towardsthe end of the day.. does it help yourmuscles? breakdoen fat? etc... alsoooo
I use Chinese Stress Balls to just keep me busy while at work and when im stressed (i also hit the weight when stressed)
and i read that there are acupunctures in your palm and the use of these balls will stimulate them and relax your mind, relax your muscles, incresed memory, stimulates blood circulation , sleep better, etc... stimulates blood circulation , does that mean taht the blood flow going through your muscles while working out be thinner? kind of like liver tablets? and since we are on te liver tablets, is that good to take?> whats the main reason behind taking them and results?

I'm not aware of any side effects of drinking large amounts of green tea on a regular basis. Mind you, the longest stretch I went with large doses (around 50g of dry tea extracted per day) was about a month. Aside from pissing alot, I didn't have any problems. I did have to compensate with drinking insane amounts of water, but that's about all that I noticed.

The orange skin formula, however is recommended in 200cc doses (1 cup) and after a meal. It is also alot more concentrated (calls for 10g green tea/cup). If anyone is interested tho, I can scan the original formula and post it. (It's from the government green tea outlet in Han Jiao, China)

The reason I use 50g/ 2L is because I drink 6L+ water a day so 2L of this stuff is manageable (due to the pissing factor ) and more than 50g of tea and 50g orange skin/day gets rather pricey. Not to mention any more than 2L of this stuff a day, and I can't sleep at night!
