How to follow a Mediterranean Greek diet
The Mediterranean diet naturally expands throughout the coastal countries of South Europe, North Africa and the Middle East but there are some small differences between their cuisines. So here I am writing specifically about the Greek version of the Mediterranean diet, known for its delicious, natural flavours and its significant health benefits.
Tumblr media
Eat daily:
Olive oil: the pillar, the liquid green gold of the Mediterranean Greek diet. Olive oil should be used ideally exclusively for all purposes. It's dressing salads, it's used in cooking and in fact it's traditionally what is used in frying too. Replace all types of oils, butter and margarine with olive oil even when making pastries. The only problem here is that outside of the Mediterranean basin olive oil can be pricey, however that's the foundation the diet is based on. If you are interested in following the traditional Greek diet for taste or health purposes, it is good to really incorporate olive oil in your daily cooking. If it’s not possible to afford buying olive oil all the time (although you could balance it out by not buying other oils and butter), a non-Greek-typical but equivalent alternative could be avocado oil. However, I doubt avocado oil or any other oil can remotely compare to olive oil in health properties, taste or in any other positive quality 🫒
Vinegar: Just like olive oil, vinegar is a very important ingredient and is also used in natural remedies However, it can hurt a sensitive GI tract if consumed in large portions. A little bit of it added to meals frequently is very healthy. Apple cider vinegar is also very loved and used in salads often 🍇
Vegetables: no portion can be too much (wild greens, garlic, onions, cauliflowers, cucumbers, eggplants, beets, peppers, spinach, artichokes, zucchini, peas, lettuce, the list never ends). Tomatoes and broccoli are recent additions to the Greek diet however they were integrated perfectly to the Greek cuisine. In general, all vegetables can be enjoyed freely with some moderation in the potatoes, especially when fried 🥗
Fruits: grapes, berries, apples, melons, cherries, figs, prunes, sour cherries, peaches, pomegranates are the most historically loved fruits in the Greek diet. Since the middle ages citruses like the orange, the lemon and the mandarin are more and more loved. Greeks nowadays use lemon almost more than vinegar and both have become integral components of the Greek diet. Obviously, tropical fruits like, say, banana, mango, grapefruit are not present in the traditional Greek diet, however all fruits are good fruits and you can enjoy them freely 🍎
Legumes. Eat freely to the tolerance of your body. Legumes can be too heavy for some GI tracts. Legumes are a great source of protein and fibre. Choose brown lentils, white beans, fava beans, chickpeas, giant beans and black eyed peas the most 🫘
Nuts, seeds: almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, peanuts etc. Eat as much as your body can take, because everybody is different 🥜
Mushrooms: mushroom it up! A great healthy way to have them is grilled with herbs and plain or apple cider vinegar dressing 🍄‍🟫
Whole grains: this is the traditional way to eat grains. Brown bread, oats, whole wheat pasta 🌾
Fish and seafood: find and eat them fresh. Instead of buying them deep frozen from the big markets, find local fish stores if your place is coastal and has them. Eat both large but especially small and medium sized fish. Some fish like salmon and tuna should ideally not be consumed daily due to their high levels of mercury and fats 🐟🎣🍤
Herbs and spices. Feel free to use as much as you want however if you are interested also in the flavours of the Greek diet besides the health benefits, a tip is that Greek dishes do not contain extremely hot spices 🌿
Water: A lot of water daily and, mind you, plain clear mineral water. No flavoured water, definitely not sparkling water and ideally no other liquids in place of the water. I mean, sure you can have liquids but you should ALSO have plain water 💧
Eat a few times per week:
Poultry: Poultry and lean meats entered the Greek cuisine mostly after the Middle Ages however they are nowadays enjoyed as part of the Greek Mediterranean diet because they are tasty and healthier than other types of meat. Chicken has become especially popular in the Greek cuisine. Other birds are the pheasant, the quail, the turkey and more sparsely the duck 🍗
Eggs: eggs are healthy and should be consumed a few times per week but not daily because they can cause a rise in cholesterol levels 🥚
Dairy: Greeks LOVE dairy products, especially the various types of cheese, however they are often irritating to the GI tract and they are linked with rises in the level of inflammation in the body. This is why you should ideally limit them to a few times per week. One exception is the yoghurt, which is fermented and can be perhaps consumed more frequently due to its beneficial properties. Important note: if you want to follow the Greek diet, you should ideally opt for milk and other dairy products from goats and sheep! Cow milk is not traditionally used in the Greek cuisine often and sheep and goat milk are significantly healthier and more nutritious. The only drawback is the stronger smell, however if you can get past that, it is strongly advised to switch to those instead of cow milk. Another note: what is known as “Greek yoghurt” in western countries is not in fact a true Greek yoghurt. What you call Greek yoghurt is to us simply a strained yoghurt, a yoghurt from which the whey has been removed. Sometimes in western markets (and in Greek “modern” dessert yoghurt products) butterfat and powdermilk is added to them and they are mostly made of cow’s milk. Again, a traditional Greek yoghurt is made of sheep, goat milk or a mix of both and is unstrained. It also has a trademark thickened skin on its top (dunno if this is the actual term lol) which is in fact the part of the yoghurt that contains the most nutrients and personally it’s the tastiest part of the yoghurt but apparently it is not for everyone. As an example, a study showed that an unstrained sheep yoghurt has more protein, more omega-3 fatty acids and minerals yet fewer calories and fats than a strained cow yoghurt 🍦🧀
Wine: in small portions, like a small glass up to a few times per week and always in combination with your meal. You don’t drink it to get hammered, you drink it for the health benefits it has in very moderate quantities and for the reasonable mild euphoria it causes before it becomes harmful. The GI tract is linked to the brain and is detrimentally influenced by negative emotions. This is why it is important to try to be in a good mood, relaxed and peaceful when you sit down to eat. A sip of wine now and then can be good for that 🍷
Eat once per week or ideally less:
Red meat like pork or beef. In fact, beef should be the one most avoided not only because it is indeed the rarest of the common meats used in traditional Greek cuisine but also because you can’t separate the fat from the meat as easily as with pork. To follow the Greek style in a healthy way opt for goat, then lamb or pork and make beef your most occasional meat dish 🥩
Processed meats should be eaten rarely. If you are in a mood for it though, opt for Greek style sausages with herbs in or bacon at most. Cured meats like ham are better to be avoided but turkey is the healthiest of them. They are not a part of a traditional Greek cuisine though.
Refined grains can be enjoyed weekly but should not replace whole grains
Pastries. What’s new, pastries are not ideal for health. However, if you are yearning for something sweet, if you want to keep it healthy as much as possible in the “Greek way”, opt for desserts made of healthy ingredients like honey, nuts, olive oil and fruits. Chocolate came to Greece in the 19th century, however it has become an integral part of confectionery since then. Opt ideally for dark chocolate, combined with nuts or fruits such as oranges and prunes. Greeks especially love chocolate combined with nuts.
Soft and sugary drinks. Avoid them overall, especially the processed products in the markets. If you need a sweet drink really bad, you can keep it traditional by making your own sweet lemonade, sour cherry, pomegranate etc drink at home. You could also enjoy small quantities of lemon or mastic liquors which are good for digestion.
BONUS TIPS & PHILOSOPHY:
Try to find mastic if it’s available where you live. The mastic is a resin produced from the mastic tree, a species endemic to the Greek island of Chios and a small part of the opposite coast of Turkey. It has numerous beneficial properties, especially for digestion and gut health, and it combines them with a very pleasant fresh and sweet flavour. You can find it in gums that boost digestion, in drinks, in pastries and even in non-edible products like toothpastes. Learn about it and give it a try, no matter if you are interested in following Greek diet or not.
Greek cuisine does not go berserk on as many ingredients as possible (however Greeks typically add more ingredients than, say, Italians and perhaps fewer than the Middle Easterners). Don’t worry about adding as many foods and nutrients in one single dish. The most important thing in Greek cuisine philosophy is to pick the finest ingredients. Avoid deep frozen or precooked and processed ingredients. Pick whole fruits and vegetables from your local small grocery store. For example, don’t buy a watermelon slice in a zelatin bag from the supermarket. Take the whole freaking watermelon home. You heard me right. It’s heavy, yes, but you would be surprised how much tastier and healthier it is this way. Go to the butcher for meat. Go to the specific cheese shop for cheese. Go to the fisherman for fish and seafood. Go to the pastry shop and get a nice dessert instead of buying candies from the market.
Remember that in moderation you can eat most of the foods you desire, especially if they are not processed foods. There is nothing about the Greek diet that is restrictive in terms of its philosophy - historically the intake of various foods was regulated only based on availability and price. There are no foods you should limit due to any perception of them being “bad” and you should never feel guilty the moment you are actually having the food. Just work slowly and progressively by building gradual appreciation for healthy foods and prize less nutritious foods as occasional taste bud rewards.
As said above, a good mood is crucial when you sit down to eat. In the history of the Greek society this translated into eating with friends and / or family, maybe with the occasional sip of wine, ideally in a pleasant environment and always taking your time with your food. If some of these are less feasible than others, try alternatively to improve the setting in which you eat, to eat in an environment that calms you down. Schedule your meal so that you won’t eat in anxiety or hurry, if this is possible. Think of pleasant memories and feel grateful for your food. Cheers! Or, you know, εις υγείαν!

I’m dropping by to poke around in your ask box. Before I start, per hooligan guidelines, I need to start off with a 1940’s ditty:
🎼 “She’s a most wonderful lady, who’s on the mend and didn’t break when she got sick.
🎼She only got the ick for pickles~ 🥒 So many gherkins were around, but it never got her down.
🎼She supplies with the trash panda 🦝 content we deserve~
🎼 She’s Mysterious! 😎
Alright the song is done, maybe didn’t make sense. This hooligan is new and still learning the ropes. 🤔
Anyway, the main topic is where the thots are:
I had an idea after writing my pickle fic that Javier could maybe, be pursued to eat something other than 🥃 🚬 and 😽 thus, Inhad him eat guava. Since then, the idea has spiraled into plaintains and tangerines (found one that’s specific to Columbia).
What other fruits should I have Javier dabble in?
*whips out a faux pipe and blows some bubbles* I’m a hooligan but I love my lungs, how else am I supposed to scream for Pedro boys? 🤓
Welp, that’s the end, just let me know about some fruits. For the plot and stuff. 👀 So much smolder and p-plot. 😉
Tumblr media
Dear @nerdieforpedro, please forgive my slowness in responding. I am behind on my tumblr duties. I also had to take some time to think about your ask. More below the cut...
First... loved your little ditty. It made me giggle. Also, thank you for the black shirt Javi gif tax. Now, let's answer that question. Since we are talking thots and plot...I'm going to be dirty about this. How about a nice pink or red pomelo. It has a taste similar to a sweet grapefruit. It contains 412% of your daily Vitimin C values along with many other health benefits, which means it will help keep that immune system nice and healthy for all sorts of...activities. It also sort of looks like lady bits...👀
Tumblr media Tumblr media
What do you think Javi, is that visually appealing enough to eat? 😏
Tumblr media
Ok...I'm done being a menace, for now. Don't want to overdo it. I hope this helps in your search for the perfect fruit for thots and plot, bestie. 😉😂

What is the Alkaline Diet? A Complete Guide for Beginners
Tumblr media
The Alkaline Diet: A Healthy Eating Plan for Optimal Wellness
The alkaline diet has become an increasingly popular way of eating that promotes overall health and wellness. This eating plan focuses on foods that help balance your body's pH levels to create an environment that supports healthy cells and tissues.
What is the Alkaline Diet?
The alkaline diet is based on the principle that the foods you eat can alter your body's pH balance and impact your health. The ultimate goal is to create an internal environment that has a pH ranging from 7.35 to 7.45, which is slightly alkaline. Foods are categorized as either acidic, alkaline, or neutral: Alkaline foods��- Fruits, nuts, legumes, and vegetables Acidic foods - Meat, dairy, eggs, grains, alcohol, and processed foods Neutral foods - Natural fats, starches, and sugars By emphasizing alkaline foods and limiting acidic foods, proponents of this diet believe it can help neutralize chronic low-grade acidosis linked to inflammation, fatigue, and increased disease risk.
Benefits of an Alkaline Diet
Following an alkaline diet offers impressive benefits: Promotes pH balance Reduces inflammation Boosts immunity Increases energy Aids weight loss efforts Improves cardiovascular health Strengthens bones Detoxifies the body The diet focuses on nutrient-dense whole foods that provide antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and water to help neutralize acids and remove toxins from the body. Balances pH Levels One of the main goals of the alkaline diet is to balance the body's pH levels. Chronic low-grade acidosis happens when acidic wastes accumulate in the body faster than they can be neutralized. This causes the body's pH to drop into unhealthy ranges. The alkaline diet counteracts this acidity and helps: Regulate fluids and electrolytes Filter out toxins and wastes Transport nutrients into cells Together this provides an ideal environment for cells and systems to function properly. Reduces Inflammation Acidosis creates an environment inside the body that promotes inflammation, a key factor in many chronic diseases. The anti-inflammatory foods emphasized on the alkaline diet can help reduce acidity and calm this internal fire. Some examples include: Fruits high in vitamin C Green leafy vegetables Nuts like almonds and walnuts Plant-based proteins like lentils and beans Lower levels of inflammation helps people feel better day-to-day. But even more importantly, it lowers the risk for disorders caused by chronic inflammation. Other Key Benefits Some other top reasons to follow the alkaline diet include: Increased Energy Levels - A balanced pH provides cells with ideal conditions for producing energy. Healthy Weight - The diet emphasizes low energy-density foods that support weight loss. Strong Bones - The diet provides bone-building nutrients often lacking in modern diets. Detoxification - Alkaline foods help remove acidic waste products and toxins. Together this creates an internal terrain that discourages damaged cells and chronic diseases from taking root.
The Best Alkaline Foods to Eat
Tumblr media
Focus your diet around these alkaline superfoods: Fruits Fruits are packed with alkaline-promoting nutrients. Choose fresh or frozen organic when possible. Top picks include: Lemons Watermelon Apple Grapefruit Kiwi Berries Papaya Pears Vegetables Aim for eating a variety of organic vegetables each day. Great options include: Spinach Kale Cucumbers Celery Carrots Sweet potatoes Broccoli Sea vegetables Nuts and Seeds Nuts and seeds are excellent sources of protein and healthy fats. Soak nuts before eating to boost nutrients. Try: Almonds Flaxseeds Pumpkin seeds Sunflower seeds Chestnuts Chia seeds Herbs, Spices and Oils Boost flavor and pH with these additions: Lemongrass Ginger Turmeric Cinnamon Garlic Cold-pressed olive oil Coconut oil Avocado oil
Foods to Avoid on the Diet
Tumblr media
To balance your pH effectively, you’ll also want to avoid or limit these acidic foods: Red meat Poultry Seafood Eggs Dairy products Processed grains Sugar Packaged snacks Soda Alcohol Coffee Even whole grains and beans - two staples of healthy diets - should be eaten sparingly since they skew acidic.
Additional Tips for Success
Follow these suggestions to make the most of an alkaline diet: Stay well hydrated with alkaline water Enjoy herbal teas Reduce stress through yoga, meditation, etc. Exercise at least 30 minutes daily Add more raw foods slowly Focus on how you feel As with any significant change to your diet, implement this eating pattern gradually. This gives your body time to adjust its complex systems. Pay attention to the signals your body is sending about the changes. Over time, you should feel less internal "discomfort" and more vibrant energy. Chronic issues you learned to tolerate could show improvement or fade away completely.
The Bottom Line
The emerging research shows an alkaline diet may be an extremely healthy way to prevent damage from modern diets and lifestyles. While studies continue, adjusting your eating pattern to favor alkaline foods poses little risk and offers tremendous potential. It provides a sustainable, nutrient-dense approach to eating that fights inflammation and encourages good health starting on the inside!

This is gonna be literally so long that I’m gonna have to send it in different parts, but here’s my advice for binging that worked for me personally, bc I struggle with it too. I’m sending u love and wishing the best for u, please stay safe and try to be kind to urself especially in the hard moments 🤍 I know we’re all on here for a reason but I’m truly wishing the best for u and that ur able to find a healthy balance :)<3
Similar to what the other person said, if u know ur prone to binging, extreme restriction will NOT help. Restriction like that will only lead to binges and it has the potential to be a horrible & seemingly endless cycle (but nothing lasts forever even binge/restrict cycles!) Ur cal count will be different depending on what works for u, but it’s also important that when u eat u eat things that fill u up! So protein sources (tempeh is my faveee if u can handle soy- it’s fermented so if u cook it correctly it has probiotics which are great for ur gut health, I’m vegan but when I wasn’t, chicken was my go to every time- it’s a lean protein source so VERY low in fat compared to meats like beef, but pls make sure ur getting good quality chicken and not fast food chicken like chick fil a, in general quality is much more important than calories and yes that goes for things like Diet Coke too lol) eat lots of vegetables because fiber is greattt and veggies will rlly fill u up without adding too much to ur calorie count! Some of my favs are carrot, zucchini, cabbage, broccoli and more. Eating ur greens can be really fun I promise!!! I recommend cooking at home as much as possible, if u have the ability to. Ur quality will always be better and u might develop a different appreciation for food when u make it urself! Plus it’s just sooo fun!!! Eat a lot of fruit too. Like literally do not limit ur fruit intake but just eat a lot of different fruits! I personally love all berries (raspberries <3) and mango, but I recommend adding pears and kiwi to ur daily diet. If u have the ability to juice, try that sometimes, especially if u don’t really like vegetables- but if u have to worry about blood sugar, be careful w/ adding too much fruit as when u consume juice, the fruit loses the fiber that makes it so that ur blood sugar doesn’t spike when u eat fruit in its whole form. In general it’s best to add much more veggies than fruit to ur juice, but adding things like a couple grapefruits to ur juice will balance out the “green” flavor if ur not into that! I also recommend making smoothies and smoothie bowls if u are able! It’s very important to get variety in ur diet too so that when u do eat, ur getting many different nutrients, and not just eating the same 3 foods over n over (although I know for people with ed or at least me it can be really challenging to not just stick to the same safe foods every day😭) some other things I recommend eating are sprouts and herbs. So many health benefits for so little calories! EXERCISE EXERCISE EXERCISE!!! Even walking a little bit every day is soooo beneficial!! Stay as active as you can, my #1 recommendation would be walking outside like if u have a park or woods near u, getting movement while connecting with nature is sooo important and at least to me, feels sm better than just walking on an indoor treadmill or pacing around my house 24/7. I like to sometimes bring a snack like fruit or trail mix with me and eat outside. Also, try getting rid of as many snack foods as u realistically can, it’s WAY easier to binge when u can just grab something out of the pantry and go to town immediately. I suggest replacing as many snacks as u can with fruit and nuts - nuts in moderation ! :))
Love, 🤍
thank you so much, jesus christ 😭 thats actually super super helpful, thank you!!

Exploring Citrus Hybrids: Are They More Nutritious Than Traditional Citrus Fruits?
Tumblr media
Have you ever wondered if there is more to citrus fruits than meets the eye? While traditional citrus fruits like oranges and lemons have long been praised for their nutritional benefits, there is a new player in town: citrus hybrids.
These intriguing fruits, created through the combination of different citrus varieties, have been gaining popularity in recent years. But are they really more nutritious than their traditional counterparts?
In this discussion, we will explore the world of citrus hybrids, comparing their nutritional value to that of traditional citrus fruits and uncovering the potential health benefits they may offer.
Get ready to discover a whole new side of citrus that may have you questioning your fruit choices.
History of Citrus Hybrids
Let’s dive into the fascinating history of citrus hybrids, where the blending of different citrus species has created a diverse and delicious array of fruits. The practice of creating citrus hybrids dates back thousands of years to ancient China and India. It was the Chinese who first discovered that by cross-pollinating different citrus species, they could produce new varieties with unique flavors and characteristics. This knowledge eventually made its way to the Mediterranean region, where citrus cultivation became widespread during the Islamic Golden Age.
One of the most famous citrus hybrids is the Meyer lemon, a cross between a regular lemon and an orange. This hybrid was named after Frank Nicholas Meyer, a Dutch explorer who discovered it in China in the early 20th century. The Meyer lemon quickly gained popularity for its sweeter and less acidic taste compared to regular lemons.
Another notable citrus hybrid is the tangelo, a cross between a tangerine and a grapefruit. This hybrid was developed in the late 19th century in Florida and is loved for its juicy and tangy flavor.
The history of citrus hybrids is a testament to human ingenuity and our desire to create new and delicious foods. Thanks to the blending of different citrus species, we can enjoy a wide variety of fruits that offer unique flavors and nutritional benefits.
Nutritional Comparison: Citrus Hybrids Vs. Traditional Citrus Fruits
Citrus hybrids offer a unique and diverse nutritional profile compared to traditional citrus fruits. When it comes to their nutritional composition, these hybrids bring something new to the table. Here’s a breakdown of the key differences between citrus hybrids and their traditional counterparts:

TOP 10 BENEFITS OF FRUITS FOR OUR BODY
A healthy diet that includes fruits is essential if we want to live long lives free from sickness. They are packed with essential nutrients and minerals, which provide a host of health benefits.
Eating fruit can help with deficiencies and balance the body's physiological processes.
Read on to learn about the 10 advantages of eating fruits.
#1. Excellent supply of minerals, vitamins, and phytonutrients: They are a great source of important vitamins. Consuming a fruit salad comprising different fruits can significantly boost the body's vitality and health aspect.
#2. Rich in dietary fiber: Fruits' high dietary fiber content helps lower blood cholesterol and lower an individual's risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Fruits high in fiber, like strawberries, apples, bananas, and mangoes, also have anti-carcinogenic qualities.
#3. A great source of nourishment for pregnant mothers: fruits are high in folate, or folic acid, which aids in the production of red blood cells in the body. It is recommended that expectant mothers supplement their bodies with folic acid and eat fruits (grapefruit and oranges) in moderation. It aids in lowering the fetus's chance of mental and physical abnormalities.

Fad diets were dangerous in the 1920s, too:
"Indeed, the 1920s were probably the high point of food faddism in the United States. Dietary evangelists of one stripe or another touted the health benefits of fasting, mastication, vegetarianism, fruitarianism, raw foods, sour milk, drinking two quarts of milk daily, the grape cure, no breakfast, no protein, hot water, no water with meals, coffee with meals, liver as a miracle food, and on and on. Many of these programs were supposed to enhance not only internal well-being but external beauty as well. After centuries of judging the curvaceous form ideal, millions of American women suddenly decided that the slim, “sylphlike,” and boyish body type was now the goal. They embarked on all kinds of reducing regimens, including the canned pineapple and lamb chop diet, supposedly popular among movie stars: “For breakfast the order is one lamb chop and one slice of pineapple. For luncheon two lamb chops and one slice of pineapple. For dinner two lamb chops and two slices of pineapple.” That combination of meat and fruit was somehow supposed to melt the pounds away. In fact, so many women—and more than a few men—were experimenting with drastic diets, high colonics, patent medicines, therapeutic soaps, and other nostrums guaranteed to shed pounds that thousands were ending up in hospitals, victims of physical and mental collapse. Alarmed, in 1926 the American Medical Association convened an “Adult Weight Loss Conference” in New York with leading doctors as speakers. After the conference, they drafted a widely reprinted, sixteen-part series of articles exposing the dangers of reducing fads and recommending a gradual plan consisting of exercise and a balanced, low-calorie diet. Their efforts mainly fell on deaf ears. At the end of the decade arose the Hollywood Diet, featuring a menu of grapefruit and various proteins and guaranteed to help you lose eighteen pounds in as many days. Once again, hospitals saw a rise in “cases of acidosis, jaundice, anaemia and similar complaints arising from malnutrition from its adherents” and issued a new series of health warnings."

"I like my Early Grey the way I like myself - intense, bitter and too hot for everyone." I LOVE THIS 😭 i'm gonna use it now.. also wow i never heard of anyone drinking tea that much and with an order too 😭 not complaining though! i heard tea is really healthy for u and i've been wanting to drink tea more regularly. do u know if tea is healthy to drink very often? and do u know the health benefits for some types of tea?
I think I have read that quote somewhere, it's not my own but feel free to use it 😂
And yes, tea is incredibly healthy. When you take it logically, it's basically water, which is healthy by itself, infused with additional vitamins and minerals from plants.
I have an encyclopedia book about tea, yes, I know a lot about it.
The only thing, one should always consider is the amount of caffein. The tea leaves, the actual leaves from the plant, always have caffein in them. Black tea, green tea, white tea... they do include caffeine and you might not want to drink them in the evening before sleep, for example, because they will keep you energized.
There's even a tea, that actually contains probiotics! Like kimchi or some yogurts! It's called Pu Erh and it actually ages similarly to wine, you can keep it for many years as it continues to mature. It's a very dark tea and has a lot of caffein in it. I have Pu Erh tea with grapefruit flavour for several years and once when I was drinking it from a big tea pot the whole morning, I felt my skin getting itchy and my fingers buzzing from all the caffein rush. So while it's healthy, you need to adjust the dosage. 😂
Bamboo tea, which is one of my favourite ones, is extremely subtle when it comes to taste, it's like grassy and pretty fresh. Bamboo leaves contain no caffein at all, so you can drink it all day long. It's suitable for children and pregnant women AND bamboo tea makes your hair and nails better.
I personally have a thing for herbal teas. While I do love all kinds of tea, the herbal ones just feel good. Herbal teas can help you to sort out many health issues. They are not the cure but they work well in a way they support your body healing and they are awesome as preventive measure, so you don't get sick so often. I for example drink tea daily and it has been more than 10 years since I was genuinelly ill. I mean, I do feel overly exhausted or sick sometimes but when I was a child I suffered from respiraroty diseases and fevers often. These days I rarely have any fever and if I feel sick it usually takes 2 days max. I'm pretty sure I only fall sick because I'm so exhausted and my body knows I won't slow down unless it forces me to do so. And guess what. I spend those 2 days of sickness drinking tea and I feel so much better on day 3. 😂 I have to stress out that this is my personal experience and just because tea makes me healthy, it doesn't mean it will cure other people's issues.
So! To answer you question - it's possible to drink nothing else but tea but you have to drink different kinds so you don't overdose yourself with coffein like I did. 😂
And I have mentioned the health benefits. At least some of them. There are more, obviously. For example many nutritionists suggest that the first thing you should do in the morning is to drink a glass of water and they actually recommend warm water, not cold. If you don't fancy just a pure warm water, here goes tea! Bedouins in the dessert drink hot tea despite the hot weather because tea (often hibiscus tea) hydrates you and at the same time supports sweating which cools you down. And I can confirm this from experience when I was drinking hot mango tea in the summer. It really works like charm for me 😂 Sage tea is good for aching throat. Lavender tea will help you sleep. Cinnamon tea will warm you up in winter, well... every hot tea will warm you up. 🤭
Tea is not only good for your body but it's good for mental health as well. Developing a tea ritual can make you feel so much more grounded and it can replace meditation if meditation as such isn't your thing. For example, I wake up and get out of bed every single morning, knowing I will enjoy a cup of tea. It's a constant. No matter what chaos the day will bring, the morning cup of tea is a moment I have for myself. I also always drink tea at 5 pm. That's the tea time. When it's close to 5 pm, my brain automatically starts demanding tea. Like a Pavlov's reflex. 😂 I also make myself a cup of tea when I'm doing tarot readings. These are my set rituals and in the ever changing and chaotic world, these are my anchors and they give me the peace of mind. As you see, you don't need a big thing to stay calm and sane. Tiny thing such as a cup of tea will do. 😊
So yeah! Tea is good. And it means much more than just a bevarage to me. 💖
Feel free to discuss tea with me anytime 😂

A limited diet plan can be gruelling to stick to, and if someone switches back to their regular basic diet, they might gain the weight back the weight they lost. 
Types of Egg Diet: 
Boiled Egg Diet:
The boiled egg diet plans require you to eat hard boiled eggs rather than coddled, climbed, or fried eggs. Only three main refections are allowed, and snacks are interdicted. One egg-grounded dish is necessary daily, and other spare protein sources, similar to funk or fish, can be incorporated into the remaining reflections.

Eggs are low in calories and low fat, so switching your morning breakfast schedule could significantly impact your health. To lose weight, the egg diet suggests eating only eggs, some fruit, non-starchy vegetables, spare protein, and fat. Although reducing calories may originally affect weight loss, experts prognosticate you won't probably continue with this eating pattern. Two eggs per day are enough for the average grown-up; having further eggs can lead to health complications. Don’t forget to eat boiled eggs iin the morning, however. This time, break your fast with eggs! If you're awaiting, suckling, or have a history of eating diseases, stay down from largely restrictive style diets. 
 Conclusion 
The egg diet is a trendy diet that's largely restrictive and doubtful to give long-term health benefits, despite its charming pledge of rapid-fire weight loss. You can develop a positive relationship with food by exercising healthy eating habits that cover all the food groups. still, understand that there are numerous other ways to lose weight by following healthy life choices If you want to lose weight. life choices, including exercise, sleep, and other life factors, significantly impact your health and well-being.
