For people who have hypertension don't know if you know but the dietician sent me some herbal teas and this one says people with hypertension should avoid excessive consumption not sure if it means the tea or the licorice just passing it on

Thanks for that bit of info and for someone that has hypertension, you'd of thought I would've known that! We learn something everyday don't we.

How are you today?

Its a rather damp,chilly day and playing havoc with my breathing,so no going out with my stroller,instead I'll be spreading old paperwork that's piled up!

Liquorice is potassium losing, so needs to be consumed in moderation. I love liquorice and peppermint tea, but limit myself to one a day as a treat when I've done something special.

Glad you seem to be back online I can't pm you as my iPad will not underscore so will not accept your name. Let me know how you are as if you pm me I can reply all previous messages have disappeared.

I only drink two things water and ginger tea sometimes with lemon added. All natural and ginger is good for the digestion not to mention I love ginger in anything.

Thanks rosaBeth I must admit I was a coffee addict but have now cut right down and drink more water if you press the 123 then the above arrow button #+= then the underscore is where the a button usually is xxx
