boo. i thought it was good for weight reduction. sounds like… barely.
I have roselle hibiscus plants growing in my yard, for the past several years. It’s so easy to grow! Everyone should grow some. And don’t sleep on the leaves of the plant, too! Fresh new leaves have a kale feel and a lemony-spinachy flavor. Older leaves can be used like collard greens. And the juicy red calyxes (what tea is made from) can be eaten fresh on salads or in smoothies. Tastes like cranberry!
Roselle is the best hibiscus
Thank you, Mr Greger, for your effort. And also for working on your pronunciation. I am jo native speaker, and it really helps. 🙏🏻🙂
So interesting. I’ve been drinking this tea for about 6 months and had no idea about the manganese. Thank you!
Gonna go make some hibiscus tea right now
Its nice to have these reminders once in a while.. thank you. This morning a little haggard from too much green tea caffeine I am reminded, oh yeah brew some Hibiscus!
I been drinking this he cause me to loss weight.
Does hibiscus tea have more antioxidants than white tea?
I was drinking Hibiscus for a while but became worried about the enamel erosion on my teeth. Maybe I shouldn't be as worried. I have been doing a vegetarian version of the DASH diet for the past 18-24 months and my blood pressure appears to have significantly dropped.
Is this video entirely the title slide (or am I experiencing an issue)?
How do you sweeten your tea?
Speaking of limiting hibiscus tea consumption, note that the #1 ingredient in the Starbucks Herbal Iced Tea (the Passion Tango) is actually Hibiscus. Given the size of their drinks and the free refills of Rewards members, one could easily consume more than the recommended dose without realizing it.
A quart a day in Europe… Would be ONE litre…?
To make a tastier version of this, along with my loose leaf hibiscus tea leaves I add 1/4 tsp of powdered ginger, as well as a little bit of honey or agave syrup to the hot water. The same two additions go well with green tea.
I love this channel – and at the time of posting this video so do 992K others. Amazing success!
Thank you for your diligence with informing the Public Dr Greger. I am such a huge fan of tea that I actually order it from a tea site called "Rishi". Now I'm thinking about getting their hibiscus powder. Thanks again.
Tonight I did an IQ test and I'm so stupid I should be in a coma, and yet I have greater intelligence than 98% of humanity.
What is intelligence apart from applied rationality
Consumption limit warning about manganese aliminium contents is quite important…
I have been drinking one two glasses of hibiscus tea every day for several years. I have not seen clear change in bp. However, my iron is slightly high, perhaps because of the tea. I do feel like I need it every day, and like it a lot, so it must be doing something good.
I feel “people” conjure up “bad” things, no? So why do they do that? What’s the goal here? 😖
Glad to hear about Manganese. So much of healthy vegan foods are high in manganese and it adds up. It was hard to keep the amount down.
Hibiscus tea is pronounced "huh-my-kuh" not "juh·may·kuh"
I wanted to try a recipe to make a vegan meat using Hibiscus flowers, is this not wise because of this excess manganese concern?
Love it 🙂
Thank You!
🥰 I do appreciate your kindest consideration to serve public consumers, worldwide.
This doctor was sitting across from me at Outback Steakhouse yesterday and he wasn't eating beans!
What if you already have low blood pressure?
Thank you Dr. Gregor!
Interesting. I would have thought it would have a different reaction in the body with being a germacide in medical cleaners. I cant stomach it but is very popular in my area.
Some teas have "natural flavors" added. They started out natural but have been chemically treated until they're anything but natural however they can still be labeled as natural since they started from a natural source. Avoid "natural flavors" like those in zinger tea.
I use two bags of Tazo passion hibiscus tea with a packet of stevia lemonade in sparkling water I make with one of those soda makers. I grind up some black cumin and rinse it down with almond milk. Then I chew down 5 whole walnuts, a half teaspoon of matcha on my chia pudding topped with organic peanut butter from BJs. Getting my bloodwork done tomorrow. My total cholesterol was below 200 but I had fatty liver at stage 2. despite a very active lifestyle and no redmeat for my entire adult life and no alcohol my BMI has akways been high with a Rugby player build. That excess weight had lead to insulin resistance which lead to elevated liver enzymes for possibly decades. Since my liver scan my liver enxyme elevation have fallen by half along with 20 pound weight loss just maintaining my blood sugar below 100. However prior to covid I was loosing twice this much weight with the same glucose monitoring.
Does hibiscus effect iron absorption?
Jamaica is pronounced with a beginning "h" – not a beginning "J". Ham-eye-ka
What is a quat equivalent measurement for UK drinks?
