Hey Guys,
For the past few years I have had an addiction to Green tea. A few years ago when I was on a health kick, and was the healthiest I have ever been, is when I really got into it. There are many health benefits of green tea, but a lot of people are turned off by the taste. What really helped me is adding honey ( 1 tsp) which sweetened it up, and allowed it to be more bearable. But today, I drink it plain. Here are some benefits of green tea....
Aid in weightloss
It can help speed up your metabolism and increases the rate in which you burn fat. I also found, that I was less bloated when I drink this on a regular basis. I drink green tea an hour before dinner and I find I am less hungry.
Help you live longer
Prevent certain types of Cancer
High caffeine level (good substitute for coffee)
Make you smarter
Help prevent Alzheimer and Parkinson
Help prevent diabetes
Help with your oral health
With all these added benefits why wouldn't you pick up some green tea next time you are at the store? From personal experience it has helped me a lot. I use to drink it before I went to bed, and even though there is a high caffeine level, I found it helped me sleep better. About 30 min after I drank it, I would feel sleepy. The only down side is that I would constantly run to the bathroom. Now I drink it about an hour before I eat dinner. It helps me eat less during dinner time, and help give me the extra boost I need to take me through the rest of my day. I feel less bloated since it is an antioxidant. It helps get rid of the excess water, since it makes you go to the bathroom, you feel lighter and your stomach feels better.
Some of the other tea's I enjoy, is chai tea and orange pekoe. One of the great things I love about tea, is that it is like a warm hug. At the end of the day, when you are winding down, and just want to relax, a cup of tea is sure to hit the spot. There are tea's for everything, sweet tea, spicy tea's, tea to help you sleep, be regular etc. Find what work's for you and give it a shot!
Have a great weekend you guys!
