Beardy,
First, thanks for the *warning* that your last post was very long, but that it contained a lot of my previous one - I am pleased to report that I had NO problem reading it ALL. In fact, it was a breeze! :-)
I have a few lingering questions here:
>As for caffeine, because we tend to drink smaller cups of tea, you'd probably have to drink two cups to equal the caffeine in a cup of coffee.
I happen to drink either black or green tea in the SAME MUG that I drink coffee in, so does this mean that I WOULD get approx. the same amount of caffeine from a mug of tea that I would in coffee? (actually, I think that either tea has more caffeine than coffee or vice versa).
For some odd reason, in my current fragile state, with my nervous system out of whack, one cup of coffee sends me into a jittery tailspin (I am a longtime one cup of java drinker and it NEVER did this before), but tea has NEVER given me the jitters. Perhaps the way caffeine is included in tea is more *gentle* or subtle than its presence in coffee. Coffee has always made me more awake, alert, etc. than tea.
> If you need more energy, get yourself a mega B vitamin complex; these apparently help you metabolize food better, turning it into energy more efficiently. It has been a godsend for me since I discovered it a few months ago. (NatureMade, Super B--since you may ask!)
You did anticipate that I'd ask what brand of mega B complex you take! I currently take quite a few different vitamins, including a multiple that has B in it, but I guess I need to augment it with more B? I don't have any fear about doing that because B vitamins are water soluble (they don't remain stored in the body) What part of the country are you in? I ask cuz I'm just trying to determine if the NatureMade brand you mentioned would be available where I live.
BTW, how did you "discover" the mega B vitamins?
I think that's all the questions I have. I read and understood everything you wrote, I thank you for all of it, I greatly appreciate your comments and will take them to heart.
-Janelle :-)
