So, green tea is suppose to be good for you and repair the body.

What are some other powerful repairing drinks or foods?

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 14 19:04:07 2014 No.5358932 Green tea doesn't really do shit healthwise. You'd neat to eat the leaves or boil it in oil to get even the vitamins from it.

I don't get why people seem to think all these "superfoods" are he cure-all of modern day.

Like.. you have to eat SO much of all these "superfoods" literally constantly to make them worth your while.

If a person just understands that it has good things in it, eats it, and understands that if they keep eating it over their lifetime, they will have less risk for whatever, more vitamins in their diet, etc/whatever.

Eating 30 avocados in 2 weeks won't do shit for you.

Just eat your dark chocolate, your apples, drink your tea, etc, and go about your life normally and realize you're putting something good in you. Don't try to cram yourself full of shit in hopes you'll instantly be cured of cancer.

And that's what I mean.

If it's just part of your life, and not the only part, then in the longrun (which is more important for your body [in most cases]) you'll be set.

Drinking only coffee, or only eating "superfoods" or whatever, it'll fuck you up

So is green tea supposed to taste like really hot water with like a very, very slight (we're talking like 0.1%) taste of the tea leaves? Because I seriously can't drink tea if that's all it's supposed to taste like. I've steeped my leaves for varying amounts of time, but no matter how long they steep it all tastes the same to me. What gives?

Green tea needs a good surface to do its work

You cant expect foods to help you much if you keep polluting your body. Clean up you act then expect decent noticeable results. Sugar and animal products are pollutants as are alcohol and medications which are the strongest pollutants of them all.

Cod liver oil is good shit. It is packed with gigantic amounts of vitamin A, vitamin D, and the fatty acids (EPA and DHA) required for proper functioning of the brain and nervous system. Almost all of your brain is made up of these sorts of fats because it is used in nerve conduction and insulation. Once you start getting proper amounts of DHA and EPA in your diet your mood really starts to improve because your brain starts working better. I've taken it for years and the shit works.

Miso is pretty good. I don't really like the term superfood, it stinks of health fad hype, but I think stuff like tea, maca, acai and all that are indeed pretty good for you. I mean, a lot of these things have a huge variety of bioactive compounds in high concentration. They won't cure every illness but they sure as shit can prevent a great many

>Cod oil is like the new snake oil

Good, the old snake oil was rich in omega-3's and other vitamins, as it was derived from east asian snakes. The stuff sold in America from which we derive the expression was rattlesnake or other domestic snakes oil and it did not contain these compounds.

you need to get the fermented cold press kind though, preferably of norwegian origin since it has the nutrients intact. It isn't heat treated. Just straight up everyday x brand cod liver oil is NOT the same. Kinda like how snowcap (hydrogenated) lard and home rendered leaf lard is different.

The tl;dr of this thread:

Nutrition is hard to get right, what works for one person may not for another. When you DO get it right it will make your quality of life far better but is still no guarantee of immunity from bad shit that life throws at you.
