Green Tea Skin Benefits

Question: Question for women in their 40's...?
Please share your health tips! What are vitamins, supplements, foods, products, anything you use, make or buy to benefit your health, weight, skin, hair, etc. on a regular basis?
I drink green tea for it's benefits,
hot water w/lemon to help burn calories
eat grapefruit to help burn calories
drink pomegranite juice for heart benefits
take vit D supplements to help prevent disease
diluted vinegar on hair a couple times a year to clean off hair products
To Pop Top...I'm not looking for a fountain of youth. Re: vit. D, I got skin cancer despite using a sunscreen therefore with my risk factor I choose to stay out of the sun and take vit. D.
I appreciate the doc's advice very much, peaceful living is definitely something that I need to strive for.
Answer: I am not a woman in my forties, but I have quite of few of them as patients.
My advice for health is simple.... good sense and moderation. Moderate and regular exercise. Eat a sensible diet, but don't obsess or deny yourself occasional pleasures. A dish of ice cream will go a long way to making you happy sometimes. Just don't eat it a half-gallon at a time.
And, I honestly subscribe to the notion that a glass of red wine each evening is good, both for your body and soul. It promotes both good cardiac health, and is a very social drink, having a glass of wine with friends and family.
And last but not least, seek peace. Find peaceful ways to enjoy life, family and friends. Find reconciliation and reasons to be happy.
Keep up with regular health care maintenance, but do not obsess over it. Find or keep a doctor/practititioner that you're happy with and work together to stay happy and healthy.

White Tea Benefits Caffeine

Question: Can green tea/white tea count towards your daily intake of water or no?
I know that you're supposed to drink something like 8 glasses of water a day, but I also heard recent research that any liquid beverage counts towards your daily intake of water, plus something like 20% of that daily amount you should get comes from the "water" in foods. So, since I'm drinking about 3-5 cups of green and/or white tea daily (I just like how it tastes and the health benefits it provides, I'm not concerned about the modest amount of caffeine in it), can I count all or any of that towards my daily water intake? I also drink water, but I just get sorta "stuffed" from trying to drink 8 glasses of water in addition to my 3-5 cups of green/white tea. Hopefully this question makes sense, lol, I feel like I've rambled. Any info would be great because I feel like anything I find online is contradictory so I'm not sure what to do. Thanks.
Answer: No it doesn't count as your daily intake of water green tea is supposed to boost your energy it's best to start drinking it in the morning and your supposed to drink 10-12 glasses of water each day, I hope this helps
