Tea Time, Infusion, Water: Tea or Coffee ? What’s the difference?

Drinking Tea or Coffee is something that help to hydrate ourself it would even help to hydrate ourself more quickly than Water following some Study/Informations.

The Tea and Coffee are different. Tea is helping to stay “Awake” but Coffee make us more “Energetic“. What I mean is the Caffeine inside the coffee is more strong or active than “Theophylline” inside the Tea.

That’s why we recommend people who are experiencing depression to avoid to drink coffee if possible. People with sickness as : “Bipolar” or “Depressive Disorder” are advised to drink less Tea, or just one little cup of tea in early morning.

Wikipedia regarding Tea Definition precise:

  • Caffeine makes up about 3% of tea’s dry weight, which translates to between 30 and 90 milligrams per 250-millilitre (8+1⁄2 US fl oz) cup depending on the type, brand,[55] and brewing method.[56] A study found that the caffeine content of one gram of black tea ranged from 22 to 28 mg, while the caffeine content of one gram of green tea ranged from 11 to 20 mg, reflecting a significant difference.[57] Tea also contains small amounts of theobromine and theophylline, which are xanthines and stimulants, similar to caffeine”

Cause we all react differently with Tea or Coffee. Some people have ability to drink Tea and Coffee whereas other are not able so much.

However believe it or not “Tea Consumption” is something that often is “Possible” to increase slowly with time and some way to adapt to it. You will be able to find on this website some possibility to increase Focus and Attention Basically taking care of yourself so then it will help to slowly increase your ability regarding Tea Consumption. Tea has a very good action power regarding health it contain lot of Molecule able to increase detox process for the body. Helping then with restorative process and also Hydration process.

How to slowly increase Tea Consumption :

Our Tea Consumption is all depending of our body “ability” to “absorb” energetic molecules. But then of course It’s all depend also regarding our healthy lifestyle what we eat or what we do. If we get more active or adopting better healthy lifestyle it will affect our body differently but then permitting to avoid side effect of Tea consumption.

Side Effect :

Ability to Sleep correctly :

The first Side effect regarding Tea consumption is the risk is the Theophiline molecule in too high quantity making us nervous and stressed, The biological reason is the Theophiline Or Caffein are reducing our Magnesium Absorb inside our body. you can imagine it as sort of Magnesium Stock inside our the body. Increasing Tea or Coffee reduce our Magnesium level. So it’s mathematically increase our Stress level and then ability to have good sleep during the night. (Link)

Following previous information as we mention drinking Tea or Coffee is consuming / reducing our Magnesium Vitamin natural level, that’s one of the reason we get Stress more easily and having difficulty to sleep. This stress can make us waking up during the night and having difficulty to go back to sleep. (See link Moonbird Regarding Breath Exercise it can also help to go back to sleep)

Some days our ability to sleep can be modified if you do sports for example. By doing sports, we have ability to get Physically tired so then it increase our Physical Stress but also reducing Mental stress.

Physical stress generally help our the body to Suet, helping the body ability to release Toxin acumulate, by helping the Liver function it permit regenerate the liver itself but then having better digestion process function then.

Body Vitamin Deficiency :

When we increase our Tea Consumption, we generally reduce our Iron absorption that generally increase Vitamin Deficiency.

The Green Tea reduce absorption of Iron to avoid it we recommend to eat some fruit rich or drink food rich in vitamin C. The “Vitamin C” as a power permitting to increase the Iron absorption, that generally something permitting to avoid Vitamin Deficiency.

Awareness:

When we start to Drink Tea or Coffee something that is helping a lot our ability is to build in parallel something name “Awareness“.

Awareness mean being concious about everything around us and inside our body. This mean also our ability to be or stay concious and ability to focus.

Awareness is helpful when we start to get Energetic or Stressed if we have mood disorder, having sleeping issue, getting irritate with other, It helping us to detect, adapt or change anything that can be wrong.

It permit also as the expression “Have both feet on the ground“.

As Laughing moment do you remember in “Mary Poppins” Movie when Mary with children are visiting the uncle of Mary for a “Cup of Tea”. After the moment they are all starting to loath they all get suddenly floating in the air until the roof and come back on the floor when they get sad.

To understand what is awareness in this scene it’s the moment when characters are realising themselves they are floating in the air and its unusual. Awareness is helping them to realise there is a change.

When you are not aware you simply not realise anything you do not realise any difference in what is occurring around you or inside yourself.

Sleep :

Something helping in this direction it’s to try to realise if we have a good or bad sleep.

Sleep is very important to build “Awareness” and increase our ability to stay “Focus“. Life make us having Good or Bad sleep depending the day it’s generally with ups and down. it can depend lot of parameter please have a look information regarding Good Night Sleep : (Link).

Today it exist some High Tech helping our ability to monitor our sleep, some brand as “FitBit” or “Garmin” are proposing “Fitness Tool” / “Watch” permitting our ability to track our “Sleep Quality“.

It’s very helpful because the technology evolve with accuracy it permit also our possibility to progress our knowledges about ourself. Every morning we can see a report regarding our Sleep Quality with data related to ( Light Sleep / Deep Sleep / REM ).

We are then having more details regarding our Sleep Quality we can see directly the result of the different phase of the night with Historic available and overview.

It is also known dehydration can increase Irritability, Stress, Hallucination, Mood Disorder and all this issue are affecting our sleep. Sometimes simply getting better hydration can help a lot our brain to recover. Find the Schema regarding Tiredness and Hydration on (Link)

We say sometimes having wrong healthy lifestyle can affect our body for long term and it can take several month or year to recover slowly with all capacity.

( It is said taking 6 months at least to recover after long period getting body exposure to High Stress level, Vitamin Deficiency, Depression, Health Issues )

That’s reason why we recommend our body after getting exposed to lot stress to recover slowly during few months to be able to rebuild our health and mood.

Tea, Coffe : “Energising” and “Exiting” molecule:

The Tea have also the particularity to infuse different molecule released in water the first Molecule released is the “Theophylline“, The second is “Tanin” contrary to the “Theophylline” waking you up the Tannin is making you sleepy.

Depending if we want to stay Awake and Stimulate or Calm, Sleepy, after our Tea consume we can then prepare Tea with Shorter or Longer infusion.

If we look on the side or our Tea Brand Packaging we can generally see details how long the Tea have to be infuse to be as it Best Taste. Each Tea have there own Infusion Time. (Some Tea will have more “Theophylline” and alternatively other will have more “Tannin” some will also have more or less Detox molecule known for their good health benefits ).

How to do your own Decaf Tea?

To avoid a Tea to be too much “Energetic” it is possible in some way to do create your own “Decaf Tea

The technique is to infuse your Tea few seconds in a cup of hot water, then trashing “The first water infused” and bring new hot water in the same cup with the same Tea Bag already infused once.

So the Tea Bag get infuse 2 times whereas 1 only.

At the first infusion the “Theophylline” (Caffeine) get released from the Tea Bag in water straight away, but then because we are trashing the first water infusion to add new hot water it permit to do the Second Infusion with less “Theophylline” (Caffeine) so this second Water infusion permit to contain practically only “Tannin”.

(We have also the possibility to keep the first water to do something else with it if we want)

Green Tea is also known to be one of the most “Energetic” Tea generating more difficulties comparing to other type of Tea like Black Tea for example.

Proper “Decaf” Tea :

Some Tea Brand have also “Decaf” Tea type, with reduce level of Theophylline (Cafeine) by some industrial process explain here :

Decaf Tea are prepared with two process Method :

  • One is to expose Tea to Chemical Process.
  • Second is to expose Tea to CO2 Carbon Dioxide.

Both techniques help to reduce Theophylline (Caffeine) so then Helping to avoid Energenic Molecul and then helping Sleep for the Night or Stress level, but the Second Technique is more healthy (“CO2 Techniques” are less affecting the “Cachecine” “Detox Molecule” whereas “‘Chemical Techniques” can reduce the detox molecule good properties).

(Tea Brands are oblige to mention what Decaf Process type they have followed you can see information on the side of the Tea Box Packaging)

“Sort of Tea Mix” Brand:

Some Brand are also proposing different sort of “Tea” which are a “Mix of different type of Tea“.

For example: The Brand Name “Dragon Fly” have some Tea Type with a mix of “Black Tea” and “Roiboos“. Or “Mint” and “Green Tea“. Roiboos Tea also known as Red Tea is helping to Relaxing and permit to reduce Energetic Molecule from Black Tea. This sort of Tea permit to keep going on our Tea consumption even in period more active or stressful.

Infusion :

  • Some infusion have Very Good benefits also with detox agent like “Mint Infusion” Mint is known to help the liver function for Digestion process.
  • Adding also Lemon in tap water or Tea is also known to help liver detox process. It can help with Fatty Liver disease after celebration.

Tea, Gut Irritation, Stress and Sleep :

Following previous information we have to keep in mind also depending what we are “Eating” or “Drinking” it can also affect our Stress level and influencing our mood.

When you start to be careful to what you eat, you will probably notice that some type of Food can irritate your gut more than other to find then you can look to the food packaging searching “Food with Risk of Allergy” we can see them in “Bold” in list of ingredient list. For exemple “Lactose” in contain in Milk or Yogurt. Also “Gluten” in Bread or Pasta. “Gluten” can be found in “Carbohydrate” or “Fiber”. Basically all this Food With Risk of Allergy are increasing Gut Transit and Irritation more or less depending your tolerance and reduce vitamin absorption, hydration level more quickly. But if our body is not over Reacting with allergy we should try to Keep all the type of food and never remove completely remove specific type of food (Diet without Gluten at all might increase risk of some other sickness.) (see more information downstairs).

When we increase sports it is strongly recommend to keep Fiber and Carbohydrate with Gluten in our diet. Even if it’s increasing dehydration Carbohydrate is recommended when we do sports cause its helping muscles to recover. It is also well known Professional Athlete have to be really careful to there Gut Health. That’s very complex. Cause It’s a sort of Virtuous Process to maintain constantly it’s like driving a bike with equilibrium. With multiple aspect in the same time. it’s as a Matrix you have to be carefull to lot of factors in the same time.

The problem is also this Gut Equilibrium is also affecting body stress and ability to sleep correctly.

Sleep Doctors recommend sometimes to use medical treatment to help our ability to fall a sleep. (Anti-Depressor or Sleeping Pill) The problem is with or without medical treatment our Sleep Quality is getting affected. The chemical component are helping the brain to get slow but can also affect the Liver, Kidney and Gut.

Doctors are more and more recommending to Avoid, Reduce or Stop Medicine related to Sleeping disorder and come back to Soft Medicine, Therapy, Yoga etc.

The problem also regarding Medication is it can hide our sleep problem “Real root cause” (Why our sleep get affected) and this is dangerous because you do not know any-more why you have sleeping issue, It’s hiding the real problem. The body can then suddenly be unwell in other part. Medication is good in some condition sometimes also only in the beginning and can hope ability to be reduce when it get possible.

Food Diversity as mention previously help to keep everything even in small quantity to keep also diversity in our Gut Bacteria. Even if some type of food might increase irritation creating Sleep Difficulty we have to find the correct balance with this type of food (For example Gluten). (Diet without Gluten at all might increase risk of some other sickness.) (See Diet Information Link or Link )

If we want to reduce Gluten we have possibility to eat Porridge in the morning (Oat contain gluten but it’s not the same Gluten than Bread. Muesli containt same Gluten as Bread cause it contain Wheat Flakes, Barley and others type of cereals.) It help to managed amount of Gluten in the body. If you like Cereal in the morning you can add Oat flakes and add muesli you can then define your own level of Gluten Each Day.

Bread have also some type as ( Sordough or Levain Bread ) that are better tolerate by the Gut. Levain and Sordough Bread are well known to be more healthy than other type of Bread.

David Servan Schreiber in his book advise to choose “Whole Meal Flour” or “Whole Meal Pasta” trying as much as possible to avoid “White Flour” cause of (Glycaemic Index GI) Level the glucose get in Blood and then Cells more quickly. Brown flower is also known to have a reduce level of Glycaemic Index comparing to other flower and permit to reduce our Stress Level and other problem of Gut Irritation. (More information regarding Glycaemic Index (GI). )

David Servan Schreiber mention in his book Anticancer : “Say “Brown is beautiful”: Eat your grains whole and mixed (Wheat with Oats, Barley, Spelt, Flax, etc.) and favor organic whole grains when possible since pesticides tend to accumulate on whole grains envelope. Avoid refined, white flour (used in bagels, muffins, sandwich bread, buns, etc.) whenever possible, and eat white pasta only al dente.”
