Healthy Plants: Healthy nutrients: Healthy People

Students that have chosen to drink 1 cup of organic tea in class for a 5 day study. The students will measure on a scale of 1-10 how they physically feel at various times during the day from Tuesday to Friday, and then record two days on the weekend without the tea and then 1 day returning on Monday. Students will keep their regular diet the same, and will record throughout the day all other sources of caffeine, including coffee, teas, energy drinks, chocolate, & soda pop.

A special thanks to Jonathan from the 'Naked Leaf' tea shop in Kensignton whom visited our school today sharing his breadth of knowledge about the science of tea and has provided for us an Organic Pu-erh Tea with vanilla and mint for our study.

Stay tuned for our results.

  2. The nutrients that are in the plants are healthy, because they were grown properly, which helps our bodies to be healthy when we consume them.

  7. Tea makes people feel hydrated, happy, relieved, calm, and ect. Tea is grown by plants which has nutrients which is collected by humans and goes through a process that keeps the nutrients and we drink it and collect all those nutrients. Tea helps build the cells in our body to make it stronger and help fight the bad things we don't need in our body.

  8. my research mostly said that tea can prevent you from getting cancer when taken in at least 3 times in a day. However, the first time i drink tea i felt way better than drinking pops, i gained more energy and i was able to complete my day. Some people believe that tea can make u lose weight but i don't believe in that.

  9. I think drink tea is good. It can help you to lose weight. Cold tea affects our skin, can make it good. Hot tea help rid your body of toxins and help them on their way out of your bottom. When the weather is hot, we can drink cold tea. When the weather is cold, we can drink hot tea. We can enjoy the environment and our life from different seasons with our teas, because both are good for our health.

  10. Everyone should start drinking tea instead of drinking pops, green is really healthy, and It makes you have more energy, also makes your chance of getting cancer smaller, but too much green tea is not a good thing either, so drink water the most and drink tea sometimes to make your body more healthy.

  12. I looked on tons of sights and didn’t get the answer I wanted and most wasn’t even to do with my question. But in my personal opinion, I think we won’t run out of water for a long time because there is so much on earth and if they can take other things out of water, I’m sure that they have a lot of ways to clean the water.

  14. Just a couple responses to your comments. Firstly, excellent ideas and thoughts about obtaining essential nutrients for a healthy body. Anti-oxidants eliminate free radical cells (cells that eventually become cancerous as a result of not being made completly ; insufficient nutrients).
