Green Tea

This whole week that past I had green tea everyday.. plain green tea, jasmine and green tea, orange and green tea and I don't even remember the rest but I do remember it tasted super good so i thought it would be nice to tell you about all the green tea benefits :)

Green Tea is super good if you are following a diet and you don't want to drink tea because then you know you will want to add sugar and milk to it but you still want to drink something warm when relaxing or socialising.
Reason why it helps with weight loss is because it is an anti-oxidant!
It doesn't just help for weight loss though...check this list of benefits.

Benefits:

  • Helps prevent cancer
  • Lowers "Bad" Cholesterol
  • Reduces high blood pressure
  • Lowers blood sugar
  • Protects the liver (good idea to drink green tea if you are a drinker or smoker)
  • Helps fatigue
  • Stimulates your metabolism
The list really just goes on but what is interesting about the weight loss process is that it increases your metabolism without increasing your heart rate and it only contains 4 calories when nothing is added to it.

So If you were wondering...It is a good idea to make green tea you meal beverage...instead of drinking just water or normal tea with a meal have Green Tea.
