Teas for Cancer, Weight Loss and Energy

by Suzie Chiasson
(Ontario, Canada)

I'm new to the world of teas and have tried different ones.

I'm in my early 40's and menopause is knocking at my door. I've suffered cervical cancer the last few years and am now in remission.

I'm a little overweight by about 40 pounds. I'm a single mom of 2 young children and my energy levels are very low.

I would love to drink as many as 4 to 5 cups of tea a day but don't know if I should mix or drink the same tea.

What would you suggest?

Thank you,
Suzie

Answer:

Suzie, thank you for your email. My suggestion is to try drinking a few different types of tea, and find a fews that you would like.

It is fine to drink a few types of teas in a day.

The top draw is obviously green tea and white tea, because they contain the highest level of antioxidants.

Green tea, especially, has been found to fight cervical cancer, burns fat and increase energy expenditure. They should help you feel better on day to day basis.

As for menopausal symptoms, the scientific evidence is mixed to date. So it really is the case of trying out to find out.

Green Tea and Hot Flashes - Good or Bad for PMS Symptoms?

My tea shop sells a range of green tea and white tea that I drink on daily basis - so please feel free to check them out.

Please also feel free to browse the herbal tea section of this site as well. You can find the links on the left hand side.

I hope this helps.
