More tea less coffee

[Northern Rivers]

Gave up coffee maybe two years ago. Best thing I ever did. The last thing you want with a compromised aorta...is blood pressure that does not let the aorta, "rebound". Exercise is great...when you are puffed...you have high BP for a while. After a few minutes...it eases back to normal. Caffeine doesn't let it ease back to normal...and..."normal" becomes a distended aorta.

I'm up for my "yearly everything" tomorrow. Yep... pretty nervous about it, too. But...my BP's been all in the green...127/78-63 being my median. Dumping caffeine really was necessary.....

Hopefully addicted to coffee, besides water it is the one drink I enjoy most. I can literally drink it all day long and pretty much do. I will drink tea on occasion but no real love for it

Ive gotten to the point were I have to drink half caffeine and sometimes even decaf cause I’m not gonna stop drinking it…pot a day easily.

If you are over 50...get a cardio-ultrasounding treadmill stresser. I will bet...you are following my own misadventure.

I'm not thrilled with the brand I have. Can you steer me to some good Assam?

If it's MARIAGE FRERES brand, nevermind. Looks like great tea. But not on my retirement income.

Not cheap, but very good.

My grandma drank a low-acid Folgers. I forget what it was called back then, but today it's called Simply Smooth.

I put 2 teabags In My mug, pour boiling water, leave for exactly 4 minutes to brew…. Add skimmed milk. No sugar.

I like my tea so strong you can stand a spoon upright in it.

i get that. blood pressure. tension. caffeine is a great stimulant. helps with depression. i like it. but it does tend to constrict blood vessels.
