Hello Dear Friends 🥰
Hope all of you are having blissful times!
First of all heartfelt thank you for your kind comments on my previous post 🥹🥰♥️ your encouragement is my strength 🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️
We are going through extremely hot weather these days. It’s 11am and temperature is 40 Celsius.you can imagine the rise of temperature as sun moves further throughout the day 😭 . Sometimes I doubt if I have lost my ability to bear heat or summer seems has been really bothering overall for all over the world. Anyway for the first time I feel that I am suffering because of heat which seems to filled in the environment like air in the balloon and pressurising us when move around.It’s bad.
Good thing that despite that burning pressure I am able to do my house chores even when hubby yells at me to stop trying to get sick 😅
I have shared in my prior to the previous post that in my opinion drinking tea excessively from early teenage has weakened my bones. I thought so because my elders,mom particularly and later in life hubby would forbid me to do so . They would say that taking too much tea is harmful to overall health. We didn’t have internet then to verify the fact quickly. Even when we got internet few years ago idea of checking it didn’t cross my mind. Somedays ago when I was asking my younger son to stay cautious about the tea consumption he immediately checked and said that you are right about not taking tea right after meals but see there is a really little amount of nicotine in the tea 0.7 mcg which is not dangerous at all unless you are excessive drinker .
I felt little relieved honestly. Also embarrassed that why I couldn’t check it earlier. One thing I forgot to ask you friends that have you too been drinking tea which had nicotine ???
Can you share that how many cups of tea you would took in young age and have you reduced the amount now ??
Another question that I forget to ask you in winter mild season , that do you use spray for flies and mosquitoes inside or outside? Do you have to mask before doing so because it hurts your nose and throat immediately???
We have changed many sprays but none have been harmless to us. Each time eldest son asks before coming home that what he should bring for me and I don’t say anything. But I think I will ask him to bring some vitamins and sprays next time hopefully 😅
When extreme heat dims the mind and I am unable to read in spare time I watch some knowledgeable videos . Last week I found our very famous and one of the most popular writer Mustansar Hussain Tarar ‘s conversation at the art council on his latest book inauguration. He has written around 70 books among them majority is translated into English language. Some of his works are being taught in Masco university since thirty years. If you are interested to know more you can check details Here . Watching him after long time made me feel nostalgic because I had read few of his books in my school library. About thirty seven years back he has hosted first morning show on national television which made him popular in remote areas to the common people who were unfamiliar with his written works.This also made me realise that I should buy Urdu literature books as well that bring back the memories of my old days full of reading 😊
I think this is enough for now. I have to go to the kitchen to make lunch. Keep me in prayers so I can get back to the room walking on my feet and not getting faint with heat 😂
Sending you all heartfelt best wishes and love ❤️
Stay blessed every moment amen 🥰🙏
Oh, I am still wondering about this tea you drank so much when you were young...and now to know of the nicotine. I will confess I was drinking coffee by the time I was three. That was the only way my mom could get me to drink milk. But it was only a cup in the morning. I still drink coffee. Of course, here in the states soft drinks are a big thing and living in Texas Dr. Pepper was a favorite, but even then my mom didn't want me to have too much sugar so I drank diet, but not even much of that. However, the well water I drank which was high in something that made my teeth stronger, also stained them.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, your son can bring something like a machine or maybe certain candles that can keep the bugs away. They can be a problem, everywhere. Thanks so much for being here. I hope things cool down. Thanks for your comments too. All the best to your beautiful creativity. 💗💗💗💗💗
Dear Ellie,thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences!
DeleteI think I am become little bit obsessive about how I got osteoarthritis in early fifties and try to find justification for it 😅
You I surly have a very caring mother who tried hard to keep you away from harmful foods and drinks. I too fought such battle while my sons were growing up. It was tough to stop them from drinking soft drinks and fast food.
How wonderful that drinking certain water made your teeth stronger.but this is bad it stained them . Hope you found treatment for that my friend.
Stay blessed!
I drank a certain amount of tea as a teenager, but never more than maybe 1 or 2 cups per day. I've never even heard of nicotine in tea?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing dear Debra
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if long time consumption of tea can (containing nicotine) can cause bone disease. But as I told younger son searched on google which showed answer that tea has really little amount of nicotine which isn’t harmful. Yes tea has nicotine and I am wondering when and from where I have known this fact long time ago
Baili, I drink one cup of tea and that is for breakfast. Rarely do I have two cups a day, just on an odd occasion. Years ago I drank about 3 cups of tea a day, but I drink water mainly.
ReplyDeleteWe have fly spray in the house incase it's need. All our doors and windows have fly screens so no use for fly spray and if outside we don't use it either, only on a rare occasion if a naught wasp keeps coming near us.
I found this for you probably similar as to what you son found...
'Yes, all types of tea, including Dilmah tea, contain trace amounts of nicotine. However, the quantity is very small and not considered harmful. Studies have shown that tea leaves may contain up to 0.7 mcg of nicotine per 1/2 tablespoon (1 gram) of dry weight. This amount is so small that it's not addictive and doesn't cause any negative side effects. Additionally, the nicotine in tea is absorbed differently than tobacco products, making it less harmful.'
Your temperature is very hot, and I'm told that as we get older we don't like the heat, we can't take is very well. I have never been in such heat.
Take care.
Heartfelt thanks for your detailed response dear Margaret 🥰
DeleteI really appreciate how less tea you have been taking throughout your life which sounds wise and appropriate 👍
Yes we got this one exactly from google and it was nice to know that I didn’t sent heavy loads of nicotine into my body.
Now I am to check on caffeine if it was the culprit 😭😊🤭
Yes I realised that I am finding myself more vulnerable to the heat since past some years but this year seems worse ☹️
What feels annoying that temperatures shown on numbers don’t reflect the true severity of the heat .
Blessings to you my friend
Osteoporosis is caused by more than just diet. There are also genetic, race, and body size components. (For example, people with slight builds are more susceptible.)
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Kathy for adding to my knowledge 🙏
DeleteMy mother and aunt would complain about knee pain as far as I remember but mom remained walking until her mid seventies nor she went through some certain treatment or surgery.all she did was picking herbs and buying dry herbs as well from market and make special recipes for her such issues. I wish I could have given more attention to her efforts and learned useful stuff which seemed more like traditional home remedies told by her mother or grandmother. Those remedies did not have any side affects.
So yes my osteoarthritis can be linked to genetics but one thing that I was thinking until my eighteen,after that I was different,I mean healthy looking but not healthy actually
Even though the heat is excessive your people have some idea of how to live in heat. You have clothes that shield from the heat. I never thought about tea like you have. I like tea but I don't think I drink too much.
ReplyDeleteDear Red people living on different parts of the world learn to survive eventually. Me and hubby more wonder about people living in deserts or spooky heights of mountains.how they manage living there keep us thinking
DeleteGlad that you have kept balance in taking tea 😊
I wasn’t a tea drinker as a youth, late teens maybe a cup a day. Nicotine was ever a consideration however. Today we only drink tea when we have a picnic.
ReplyDeleteBaili, when I find it hot here, I think of you and the heat you experience. I hope you can stay cool my friend. I won’t complain of the heat we experience.
