You are what you drink… have a cup of Chi

Welcome to the first post on the Chi of Tea blog. I am going to get strait to the point… You are what you drink. The body is 55-60% water in the average adult and the quality of our fluid intake directly effects our health in a profound way. The average human body can survive for nearly 30-40 days without food, however can only survive without water for only an average of 3-4 days. Water is the bodies fuel, it our gas, our oil our survival depends on it.

The average American is dehydrated. We consume large amounts of water, there is no doubt about it, however a large amount of this water is toxic and already considered waist before the body can utilize it. It is full of poison and toxic chemicals, artificial flavors, carbonation, sodium and more. If you watered your plants with the same fluids you drink each day, they would die within a few days. The human body is basically a complex plant… shall we say… life form. And life can not survive on soda pop and chemically tainted water, PERIOD.

In order for the human body to be optimum, it needs Chi. Chi is the energy transferred from the nutrients in what we consume. Chi can also be generated through meditation, yoga and spiritual practice. However, we need that physical Chi transfer to maintain the human body. And 99% of the bodies Chi comes from diet. It’s a secret trade of energy that has been mother natures way since day one.

However, this blog is not really going to focus on diet, nor any of the worries of water pollution, poisonous beverages and the toxic slow death of the human race due to our beverage of choice… but will focus on the Chi of tea through a magical experimental journey of infusing teas and herbs as well as the benefits of such experimentation and reflection.

So grab your favorite cup of tea, your meditation pillow and share the Chi with me!
