Oh My Workout!

Well, I just finished up a fantastic workout! I go to Bodyrock.tv and always get one off of there because they're fast and effective. I try to do 5 a week but it doesn't always turn out that way. Ha ha ha! These workouts are guaranteed to make you sweat. Then I always need lots of water afterward. And green iced tea, SO refreshing!

An ancient Chinese proverb says, "Better to be deprived of food for three days, than tea for one." Green tea has been used by the Chinese as a medicine for at least 4000 years! In recent years it has been discovered that green tea inhibits the growth of cancer cells. It also helps lower cholesterol. Sounds like a winner to me! But keep in mind that adding a bunch of sugar to it is going to work against those good benefits. So if you want it sweet try Stevia. It's all natural because it's from a plant but doesn't raise blood sugar levels. I get mine at Trader Joe's.

Also agave is great because of it's low glycemic index

or good old honey is even better that table sugar.

So let's all get more green tea into our bodies and healthier sweeteners. You will feel better for it!

Happy drinking! Taniya
