I quit smoking, now drinking green tea gives me a headache?

I quit smoking, now drinking green tea gives me a headache?I used to drink green tea all the time back when I was a non smoker, with no problems at all. Became a smoker and would have it occasionally, still no problems. About 2-3 weeks ago I quit smoking. Coffee is a trigger for me so I switched to drinking green tea everyday and without fail I will develop a headache (very concentrated on my right temple) for about 45 min after i have a cup of tea. Doesnt matter what brand.

I honestly don't know if it's directly related to me quitting cigs because I wasn't a steady tea drinker while I was smoking. But i do remember drinking green tea everyday a few years ago as a non smoker with no problems.

YEA I COULD JUST NOT DRINK IT, BUT I want to keep drinking it because of it's health benefits and I can always see a great improvement in my skin.

Help?? Why is this happening? Am i allergic to it all of a sudden? Detoxing? Anyone else have this happen to them?

This is why they say that it takes about 3 days to recover physically from smoking and a lifetime of mental addiction.

Caffeine in green tea is a stimulant and affects your adrenal glands, negatively. Green tea also has lots of fluoride in it that depletes your body of iodine.

There are green tea extracts that use probiotic bacteria to remove the caffeine and fluoride that are excellent for you and have huge amounts of the good qualities of green tea in a small amount you mix with water.

Your skin can improve by improving the health of your gallbladder far more than drinking some green tea.
