Tea and its side effects

[zynab]

there is no doubt that somalies are the most tea drinkers after the british of course, so its not surprising that i drink to much tea around 4 to 5 cups a day.this did not concern me untill recently when i find out that apparently tea absorbes the iron you get from lean meat, which explains the fact that so many of our sis are low in iron. but how can one quiet tea, its the first thing that u drink in the morning and with nearly every meal, and mot to mention when visting others and they offer herbal tea, do you ask for hot water instead.

The Region where I'm from, girls do not drink tea.....word is, tea makes 'em ********* but whether thats true or not is beyond me....gabdhaha hala waydiiyo

[Bess.]

Well, are we talking about the girls that grew up sipping Tim Horton's tea and Sturbuck's caffe late or the girls back home who, because of sugar shortage, weren’t allowed to drink tea?.

 

Zynab, I think the benefits outweigh the negative. Tea is actually good for your health and if drank in modaration mines the sugar ofcourse will cleanse your body and give you clear glowing skin. It has also shown to soothe allergies, stomachaches, and menstrual cramps to name a few.

 

As for moi, there is no amount of iron deficiency that will stop me from getting my daily fix. Must have my hot Apple-cinamon tea in the morning and cherry flavor in the afternoon.

"drinking tea is absolutely inappropriate for young ladies, oh why back in my days girls wouldn't dare go near tea" my mother's words, she occasionally has a fit when my sister drinks it, me on the other hand am not a tea fan...milk plz with ice(the more ice the better) and oh make that 2% milk.

 

:confused: she never really said why it was bad...anyone know?

A-Ladiif--Hunno no such thing is true. As usual somali men have brain washed our women into thinking such bizzare crap!

 

 

Its beyond me how we(women) would listen to such tales. Where has our scanty common sense disappeared to? Somali men are wonderful fabricators

I don't think that "Shortage of Sugar" was the main reason for not letting the Somali girl to drink tea at that time. In the past, the Elders used to believe that if the girl started to drink tea, she will gain weight & become fatty, her body will lose its firmness and she won't be active to do the housework.

 

Girls used to start drinking tea only when they deliver a baby.

 

But, I don't believe that all the somali girls in SOmalia are still not drinking tea. Perhaps some of them are still following their Grannies' and mamas' words, but not all of them.

 

Now we enjoy tea with all flavours:-

Tea w/Milk

Tea with Mint

Tea with Cardamom

Tea with cinnamon

Iced-Tea

Tea with Coffee (Tried that?! so tasty)

Green Tea

Tea w/Lemon

Morrocan Tea

Genseng Tea

Tea with Thyme,,, etc

 

What a Great Revolution for the somali Girls to drink tea,and eat with their Male-relatives in the same table

 

What side effects?! I rest my mind and I don't give any care to these things. First docs & researchers say Tea is good for brain and heart, then another study come to the lights saying that "No, quit drinking tea coz it causes Heart Attacks and Brain Damage" !!!!

 

I'd say "Eat/drink/sleep & enjoy moderately & u won't get any Side Effects inshallah"

Lemme tel ya da best tea forever:

 

Take some concentrated milk ,,, pour it in a pool and put it on the fire ,,,,, add some sugar and a lot of tea ,,,,,,, (don't even think to add water) ,,,

 

Taste this and tell me your BIG MARQAAN ,,
