The new dietary guidelines for beverages recommend tea and coffee second only to water in healthfulness, but what about concerns they might impair the …
I'll agree that tea is better than coffee before exercise, but is constricting arteries always a bad thing compared to dilating arteries? Consider that constricting arteries is like flexing our muscles vs. relaxing our muscles. To say dilating our arteries is always beneficial is like saying relaxing our muscles is always beneficial.
For years I drank green tea while working out. Just loved green tea and somehow ended up drinking it and thinking I should workout.. been doing that for years. It gave me more energy and less thirsty actually during my workouts
So which decaffeinated coffees are better to drink? Best way to have it? I'm an athlete and I want to maximize my bodies function outside of performance so it runs best
From London. I am a fan of this channel. Sometimes, life is a luck of the draw. My work colleague was a fitness freak. Had a blood clot in leg. Died age 25 years. I like tea. But will ease off milk. Drink more green tea. Thank you for this wonderful free education .
Tons of studies about coffee are contradictory. Coffee is healthy and contains antioxidants. Just don’t drink it all day long. I remember reading about a guy who went into liver failure from over drinking green tea every day. Anything, even healthy foods, can be toxic in large quantities. Let’s put in into context and perspective.
With all the smoke from the bushfires covering Sydney at the moment I started drinking a cup of coffee first thing in the morning again after a couple of months not having coffee. The coffee somehow stops the smoke from turning me into a zombie and I have to get through this past week
Decaf coffee is a crime against humanity. Bath water tastes better. I'll go with my ONE GLORIOUS fresh ground filtered pourover coffee; Matcha for any caffeine needs after that…
So MATCHA GREEN TEA LEMONADE at Starbucks should be a best beverage — WHOLE green tea leaves finely ground (Matcha) and mixed with lemonade (adds a little vitamin C). That's my new plan since "milk" isn't helpful with green tea. Sure wish they would sort out which milks are no-go. There are a world of plant milks, after all!
Interesting, thank you. I will be think I'll still have my one coffee in the morning because I get so much pleasure from it and feel good about the tea I drink at other times of the day 🍵
ugh. what to do. so many studies say coffee is beneficial for health. while others say it is harmful. you would think in 2019 that science would be advanced enough to stop with all the ambiguous health studies and instead provide real conclusive findings that are useful. right now we are all just going in circles.
When I just quit drinking…because I was experiencing arrhythmia & palpitations, coffee would help:) now, it makes more sense. It's been over 2 years sober now, and I notice that when my heart gets a touch fluttery, I have a cup and things go back to normal. Not sure if the caffeine withdrawl is a facor though. I've tried an energy drink instead of a coffee, and my kidneys get sore, so that was a wash. The only thing I don't like about having to consume coffee is the stinky sweat smells…coffee is stinky.
I wonder how long the negative impact of caffeine from coffee lasts? It could only be temporary…. and then later on actually prove to have a beneficial effect just like eating citrus does on/for your teeth. It first removes a little enamel – while it also removes plaque which people don't realize. Then what they don't tell you is the enamel grows back.
Yeah. No. I'm in my mid-20s, have been vegan for a decade, my diet is very healthy … but I love my coffee. It even helps with my anxiety by simply making me happy, subjectively I only experience its positive effects. No way I'm giving it up anytime soon. Thanks for the information, but being comparatively young, vegan, and naturally underweight, I think my body can handle a little bit of extra cholesterol. Good to be informed though.🤷♀️👍
Thank you!
Caffeine makesmy anxiety go crazy, and I feel really crappy.
Actually this is what I've noticed. Coffee and energy drinks, I feel horrible, heart goes wonky, anxiety goes wild.
Tea, actually mellows me out, I feel warm, and relaxed. No sugar or milk for me please.
I want to cry. Time to ditch the coffee.
I only have time for coffee

I love coffee….

I have no use for caffeine because I eat fruit in the morning.
I drink coffee 4 – 6 cup per day
Ass hole

I drink tea with a dash of almond milk. Is that OK?
I just wish I could get away from using sugar in my iced tea.
No more am coffee, just tea.
Thank you, Doctor.
Isnt reposting videos again against youtubes guidelines?
So just follow your coffee with a cup of tea, right? Having your coffee and drinking your tea too!
I cannot give up my cocoa though…..
There are studies that praise coffee's antioxidant – anti cancer effects. Problem is half the MD's disagree with the other half.
I do Matcha and that pero Barley drink, so I get the caffeine and the taste of coffee, without it being coffee.

Any comment on the detrimental effect of tea on iron absorption?
what about decaf black tea
Could coffee be healthier fermented (like the black tee) than roasted? Let's put it to a test doc!

I heard a rumour that there is cholesterol in every cell in our body. I this true???
How bout almond milk?
I'm glad that I drink about 3 liters of water a day, even when I enjoy a decaf coffee. Good to know the benefits of good habits.
What you thoughts on raw cacao powder ?

What about espressos?
1:45 I didn't know that Steve Buscemi also did research 😁
Great information and educational material thanks!
You may take my meat, but you will never take….MY COFFEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Coffee is really bad for your gut and adrenal glands.
