Although you have eaten, it was 5 hours ago. the fact that you are feeling sick is your bodies way of telling you your blood glucose levels are low. Your body uses glucose for energy and you are using a lot of energy whilst running.\nBest thing would be to have an energy drink whilst running or leaving 2-3 hours after eating, before running. \nJust don't eat anything too heavy. Complex carbohydrates are a good supply of slow releasing energy (pasta, rice, wholemeal bread etc).\nIf you are worried and this has never happened before, it is probably an idea to go see your doctor. if you you live in the UK you could get the advice from NHS direct (telephone helpline)

Tea isn't a fat burner, fat is burnt when your body needs energy, anyone who tells you otherwise is full of it.  Save your money and drink water and exercise.

Did you know that White Tea is the new Green Tea? Yes! White Tea has even more anti-oxidants than Green Tea. I now drink both. But you wanted some green tea stories so here it is: A few years ago I started to drink a lot of green tea because I heard its health benefits. I noticed last year that if I drink alcohol then it just goes through me. I mean I get drunk, sober up and go through the hangover (and even throw up) in the space of just 2-3 hours, something that would take any normal person at least 10 hours if not more...When I presented this problem to a very knowledgable guy his first question to me was do I take lots of vitamin C? I said I didn't and questioned him on this, then he said that because Vitamin C have lots of antioxidants in it and that having antioxidants in your body can actually speed up the detoxifying processes including that of getting rid of alcohol, which is poison of course. I thought 'wow'! So green tea does help you with the everso popular detox thingy!

could be.  Do find out you need to treat it like a science experiment.  Drink it and then see how you feel.  Don't drink it for a few days and then drink it again.  If you feel that way then I'd so don't drink it!

As much as you like. Its contains great anti-oxident properties. I drink at least 2 cups a day, cold or hot. And I love it. I heard that its great for weight loss but I am not sure how or why. It seems like it wouldn't hurt though. You can probably find out more benefits of green tea from your nearest herb store,or surf the net for more info.

Green tea causes your body to purge itself, it may be purging your body of specific nutrients that keeps your body from breaking out. Try taking MSM, a sulfur compound the body uses any number of ways, including, fighting acne.\n\nIt may actually be that Green tea is actually stimulating your body to purge itself of junk, which in turn triggers your pours to get active and therefore you are getting acne.\n\nThe links provided below are for informational purposes, I am not endorsing their products.

It's said to have antioxidant properties, which fights free radicals in cells and helps detox the body.  Studies are still being done.  \n\nThe ill effects are that green tea has a tendency to cause diarrhea, and the usual causes from caffeine as a stimulant and a diuretic.

I would say that would be a bad idea. I don't think that it is good for you to drink it strait or anything. If you want to clean out your system drink lots and lots of water. That is the healthiest way to go.

It sounds like an upper respiratory infection to me, not the flu.  If you ever had the flu, you'd be too weak to write this much on the computer, trust me.  Of course you want to up your fluids with water and juices.  Lay off of the carbonated drinks because they will irritate your bladder and just cause more dehydration.  Hot tea or broth (chicken) will soothe the sore throat; gargelling with warm salt water (1tsp. per cup) for a few minutes will also comfort the throat; take 2-3 aspirin with food (crackers) it will reduce the inflammation/pain and fever.  As for the cough, you can take cough meds if you have them, or honey will help too.  If you're running your heater in your home, it will dry out your bronchi and cause a dry cough.   If you have a vaporizer use it, if not, just put out a pan of water close to your bed to keep the air moist (you can take a good hot shower and that will help also).  Keep warm, get alot of rest and I'm sure you'll be feeling better in the am.  If you're having yellow/green mucous coming up, definitely see a doc.  If not, it will pass in a few days.  Godloveya.

green tea is not an antibacterial agent it is an antoxident, entirely different things.  Antioxidents help fight free radicals (Loose oxygen atoms in the body).

This is my mother's belief, sometimes you have trapped gas in your stomach and the heat from the tea break the gas bubble.  Sometimes you eat too much after being empty for a while and the gas get trapped.  It's not scientific, but I go with it.

Green tea does wonders for your body. I drink about 2 bottles of the stuff daily. Your not drinking too much. They actually recommend 10 cups or more daily. It has been shown to reduce cancer by 3 years. It prevents many diseases. Some studies disagree on how much you should drink. Some say only 2 cups gets you the amount of stuff you need, but 10 cups gets you the most benefits.
