Disadvantages of Drinking Green Tea For Weight Loss:1) Green tea is not a magic bullet
While some people will tell you that green tea is the be-all-end-all for weight loss success, I think the keyword here is balance. You’re not going to eat 5000 calories a day, drink a cup of green tea and make it all go away – it just isn’t going to happen. A healthy diet and increased exercise will go a long way in helping you lose weight and keep it off.
2. Be cautious of the caffeine if you have health problems
For some people that have heart troubles, high blood pressure or stimulant sensitivities, the caffeine in green tea may not be the best idea. If you’re worried about the caffeine from green tea, try taking green tea extract. Most green tea extract is made from decaffeinated green tea so you can still get the weight loss benefits without the caffeine.
Cautions and Suggestions about Drinking Tea
•        People with stomach problems should drink light green tea and only do so after meals.
•        Pregnant woman should limit their tea drinking –no more than 2 servings (4 grams) of green tea per day.
•        When you are starving, avoid drinking tea. Tea will enhance your metabolism and makes you feel hungrier; sometimes, it might make you nauseated.
•        If you are taking medicine, do not use tea water to help you swallow the pills. Tea may interact with the medicine.
•        Do not drink too much tea at night before you go to bed. Not only will the caffeine in tea
keep you awake, the water you take in will wake you up.
•        Generally, do not let kids (younger than 12) drink tea if they are not used to caffeine. If
let them drink, only allow them to drink light green tea and only during the day.
•        Do not drink tea left over from the previous day.
•        Try to brew tea in cups made of china, glass, earth pot or stainless steel containers. If
use paper cup, use specially designed cups for brewing tea. Do not keep tea in the paper cup
for too long. Drink it as soon as possible.
•        Never brew tea using foam cups. Tea will interact with it and generates harmful
substances.
•        When green tea is brewed, it should be light green. If it is brown or dark after brewing,
do not drink it.
•        Clean teacups or pots immediately after tea is served. Otherwise it is very hard to clean
them.
•        To maximize green tea benefits, do not add sugar to the tea.

Let us not loose out on our miracle...

Hi..family and friends..
Let us not cancel our miracle by harboring bitterness, unforgiveness, grudge, impure and negative thoughts. Let's not loose out on entering our promised land by complaining, murmuring, grumbling. The Israelites not only roamed in the desert for 40 years, one generation failed to see the promised land.`
Abba father..
Help us to be humble, loving, kind and not be hard hearted, unforgiving and bitter..
In Jesus Name..
Amen
God's word says...
Ephesians 4:30 "And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."
1 Peter 4:9 Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.
Resentment and bitterness can grow and grow like a weed and takes deep root in us, destroying even the good in us.
That's why the Bible wars us in...
Hebrews 12:15 See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.
So let us let go of all negative feelings.
Ephesians 4:32 " Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you."
Colossians 3:13"Be gentle and forbearing with one another and, if one has a difference (a grievance or complaint) against another, readily pardoning each other; even as the Lord has [freely] forgiven you, so must you also [forgive]."
2 Corinthians 12:20  "For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be. I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder."
Today, if we feel we have any un-forgiveness, bitterness or resentment in our heart, can we tell the Lord to take it away?
We reap what we sow.
Let's sow forgiveness, love, joy, laughter, money, material things, prayer and other good things,
May God's love rule and reign in our hearts.
