What does tea do to the body?

Question

I recently ordered a lot of expensive Oolong tea, White Tea, and Black tea from eBay. I've been driking a lot of it, because i love tea. But recently, i've noticed i'be been getting hungrier, and eating a lot of food. Then i get hungry again, and eat some more.
Im actually underweight, and i think its a good thing, but is it TEA thats making me eat a lot, and go to the bathroom a lot??? Or is it something else?

Thank you in advance, :)

Answer 1

Some laboratory tests also show that black and green tea may help boost metabolism to aid weight lossweight loss, block allergic response, slow the growth of tumors, protect bones, fight bad breath, improve skin, protect against Parkinson's diseaseParkinson's disease, and even delay the onset of diabetesdiabetes.

In a study involving bladder cancerbladder cancer cells, green tea extract seemed to make the cancer cells behave oddly. They matured sooner, bound together tightly, and had a hard time multiplying. Another study found that men who drank oolong tea plus green tea extract lost more weight and total body fat, compared with men who drank plain oolong tea. Also, the green tea drinkers had lower LDL cholesterolLDL cholesterol.

Other small studies have found that the antioxidants from drinking tea can help prevent skin cancerskin cancer. There's also evidence that tea extracts applied to the skin (in a lotion) can block sun damage that leads to skin cancer.

All this research seems to suggest that if you want to do something good for yourself, drink tea. "It has no calories and lots of polyphenols. If you're drinking tea, you're not drinking soda -- that's a real benefit. Water doesn't give you those polyphenols,"

The caffeine in the tea gives you the hungry feeling, eat something before you start drinking your tea from around the world. It won't give the gettery feeling. Of course your going to go alot with all that drinking, it's a natural laxative. Enjoy your tea.

Ja tea makes u pee more once taken. So better not take it in the night before sleeping coz itll ruin ur good sleep bro :). It could make u feel hungry as often (Sorry cant explain well the reasons in english). But i love drinking tea myself. Cant live without it hahaha.

Answer 4

Actually tea is supposed to do exactly the opposite.

Drinking tea is supposed to make you feel full so you shouldn't be feeling hungry after drinking tea.

But on the other hand caffein speeds up your metabolism, so maybe your body thinks you are more active and asks for more food to use for energy.

If your overeating gets out of hand, try switching to decaf.

When you drink caffeinated drinks you go to bathroom a lot and that is normal.
