What’s In The Leaf?

All non-herbal teas come from this plant, but different processing methods produce different types of tea. Freshly steeped tea contains a number of bioactive chemicals, including flavonoids, caffeine and theanine. Scientists are particularly interested in the potential health benefits of the class of compounds found in tea known as flavonoids. These antioxidants inhibit the oxidation reactions caused by free radicals, thereby preventing damage to cells and tissues, and helping guard against everything from heart disease and cancer to stress relief and weight management. Flavonoids, which are polyphenolic compounds, exhibit antioxidant activity similar to that of fresh fruits and vegetables, being 20 to 30 times more potent than Vitamin C or E. All teas contain caffeine, unless decaffeinated in their processing. The caffeine content of different teas may vary considerably and depends on factors like steeping time, the proportions of tea and water, and whether the tea is loose or in teabags. In general, a steeping mug of tea contains about half as much caffeine as a mug of coffee. However, the profile of caffeine’s effect on the human body is different for tea than it is for coffee, or even chocolate. The buzz we get from tea doesn’t spike as high as it does from coffee, but lasts over a much longer period of time. Theanine is an amino acid found almost exclusively in loose leaf tea. It has been shown to reduce mental and physical stress, can produce feelings of relaxation, and may improve cognition and mood when taken in combination with caffeine. Theanine increases brain serotonin, and may also improve the immune system, as seen in a comparative study betweeen coffee and tea drinkers in which tea drinkers had up to 5 times the anti–bacterial proteins as coffee drinkers.

ever since my brother learned how to talk he has been telling on me. bugging me. getting me in trouble for stuff i didn’t do. and that’s when the headaches started. i get these pains in the back of my head, and in my neck. everything i say, he tells on me, and then, i get in trouble. i dont have much of a social life anymmore, cuz i ahve to entertain the idiot for like 2 hours a day, and nobody but him gets to use the 5ft,3ft flatscreen tv. yea, when im not entertaining him, he is watchiong tv, or playing video games. he makes these stupid faces, and they really piss me off. then when i tell my mom that i didnt do it, she tells me not to talk so fast, and that i have anger management. i think it’s really unfair how he gets everything he wants. before this i got like straight D’s in school, and now i find myself getting honor roll, and getting A’s. so is it stress or something? if so how do i releive it?

i have been off work now for two weeks, with anxiety and stress, the doctor has given me 6weeks off to get better.
The reason why i am off is due to what i do, i work as a care and support worker, with the council i work with adults with learning problems, been doing this now for 2 years.
Its not the clients that are the cos of me being off its the management, i have been putting up with the crap for far too long and its finally took its toll on me, with my health.
What i would like to know is, they have already seen me at my house twice since i have been off, they have arranged counselling for me, which i will go to, but they are constanly phoning me all the time, got a letter in today saying that they want me to attend a meeting with them on valentines day, with the two main bosses.
Im in no fit state to attend this meeting, as they are gonna be really nasty to me, cos thats what they are like. Im off due to work why can’t they leave me alone until im a bit better instead of haslin.

What’s Wrong With Me?

I’ve been feeling really bloated. Not the normal period bloating feeling. I spotted for a day and had my last period two weeks (14 days) ago. I’ve been nausious every day for about a week or two without vomitting. Am I going to start soon (when in reality I have about 14 more days until my period should arrive) or what is wrong with me? Of course pregnancy could be a possibility, however I know when it comes to the body anything could be possible. I have thought about stress but I have been undergoing stress management, so my daily stress is under control. Opinions?

What’s A Good, Fun (stress Free?) Way To Make $$ While In School (in A Stressful Program!)?

admin — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 06:31:21 +0000

mystery shopping is a great flexible way to make money. Not a lot of money but it is easy and fun. You basically pretend to be a customer and the company pays you for your observations of the service..
You could register to be a note-taker for a couple of classes
You could tutor someone in a subject that is easy for you. If you speak fluent Spanish or Mandarin, tutor people in that subject.
You could proofread or edit papers, this is something you can do on your own time.
Some corporations need campus representatives to distribute advertising and promote events. This could be fun and bring in some extra cash. Check the classifieds in your campus newspaper at the beginning of the semester.
