Long Weekend
>> Mar 31, 2014
We have long weekend. Today Monday
is holiday here. Indonesian Hindus celebrate the Saka New Year, the “Day of
Silence”. If you are in Bali Island, Indonesia this Monday, you’ll see empty
streets there, even Ngurah Rai airport is closed for 24 hours.
For
Blue Monday, I’d like to share
different issue. I’m a green tea drinker and I just knew about the negative effect
of green tea consumption. Before, I’m not aware that green tea can stain the
teeth. I like drinking it as its high antioxidants. Dr. Karisma Jaradi, a cosmetic
dentist, said that two cups of green tea daily is healthy but the increased
intake may give you teeth problem. It won’t harm the teeth, but excessive
drinking may change the natural white color of your teeth to more yellow and
stained look.

Drinking
other herbal teas may cause similar problem. Such beverages are acidic in
nature and enhance the porosity of the outer layer of teeth. It will ease the
pigmented molecules contained in teas to stay on the teeth enamel and consequently
cause staining.
The
simple prevention: rinsing your mouth with water after consuming herbal teas
and coffees. The dentists recommend the usage of whitening toothpaste to lessen
stains. If the stains are worse and you hate it, visit your dentist to get
required dental treatment.

First of all...if I correctly understand: "Happy Silence Day"... and how interesting to find out such important advices about tea and coffee, as well (relating to teeth enamel problems). Have a great week!
i'm a green tea drinker and today is also a holiday here in Trinidad and Tobago; have a nice Monday

Hi Lina,
I drink coffee every day, and my teeth show it. I brush with a good toothpaste and visit the dentist regularly, but . . .
I still choose to have my drink!
Thanks for sharing this beautiful blue cup.
You asked about the taste of the nasturtium . . . It's a mild peppery taste. Pleasant.
Have a Happy Blue Monday!
Who could resist drinking tea from a blue cup?

True! And lately there have been news stories about heavy metals in tea -- not good!
Interesting..all this while we were told only the goodness of tea to health.
But keep drinking anyway, only rinse your mouth immediately. :-)
