Green Tea and Water

That's what I drink - green tea has replaced my beloved morning coffee with the french vanilla creamer and I drink water all day long after that. I have had an occasional diet soda or ice tea, but mostly water. And now that I'm giving my body the water it needs, I sort of crave it, if that makes sense.

According to wiki, below are some of the health benefits associated with drinking green tea:

• Anti-cancer properties
• Increases metabolic rate
• Possible anti-diabetes effect
• Boosts mental alertness
• Boosts immune system
• Lowers stress hormone levels
• Effects on bad breath

Other changes that are no doubt making me feel better include (1) working out everyday - I do Wii Fit so it's not extremely hard, but I do it every morning at 6 am and get my blood pumping for 30 minutes to start my day and (2) I don't suffer from heartburn, hardly ever - since I've been eating low carb. I have a bottle of Rolaids on my headboard and I used to pop 3 or 4 at night to be able to lay down and go to sleep. Now, I rarely touch the bottle, and when I do I take just 1 Rolaid if I feel a little heart-burny. It's awesome!
