Question
I've heard that drinking 5+ cups a green tea a day either prevents or reduces heart disease. I'm not drinking it for weight loss. I don't care about that.

But it also has multiple health benefits. I drink it for the strong antioxidants green tea has.

-----Question-----
I drink alot of green tea - about 5 cups a day. I'll use a tea bag twice, instead of using one every time.

Can you use a tea bag more than once? Or is it good to only use one time? I'm just wondering if I'm still getting the antioxidants just as strong as the first time.

-----Answer-----
Hello Kelley!  That's great that you drink a lot of green tea!   You can use the same bag twice, but you probably will not achieve the same benefits; you will notice that the flavor is usually a bit weaker the second time around which signifies a lower saturation. Is there a specific reason you are drinking so much green tea?  Wu Long tea is made from the same plant (Camelia sinensis) and has been shown to burn up to 157% more calories than Green tea.  If you are interested in trying Wu Long tea, you should visit www.infusium-tea.com; Infusium Tea, Inc. has the freshest Wu Long tea on the web!  Let me know what your goals are and I can help you learn about the best way to work toward them with tea.

Answer
Drinking 5+ cups per day of any caffeinated tea does not sound healthy to me.  I would suggest you cut down your intake to 2-3 cups per day.  You should still receive plenty of benefits.  Do you have heart disease?  If you are doing this as a preventive measure, then I would suggest moderation because over-doing anything can cause other problems.  If you are trying to treat a present condition, then I would really speak to a healthcare professional about designing a lifestyle plan tailored to your needs.  Infusium Tea, Inc. has the most comprehensive collection of scientific materials on the web; just visit the "Science Digest" tab on their website www.infusium-tea.com or email info@infusium-tea.com for documented scientific research about tea and its many benefits.
