Green Tea - Japanese Kasaayam (Medicine)

 Those who reject (Truth), among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists, will be in Hell-Fire, to dwell therein (for aye). They are the worst of creatures.

Aloha muchkins :)

Currently I am on a weight loss mission to lose all the weight I gained at pregnancy within 3 months which is of course a difficult task and slightly impossible to lose that much so quickly, however, some loss is better than nothing right :P

I have reduced my meal portions and been eating healthy. I have been walking lots lately and joined zumba too. Lets see how far or how much I can lose here after...

I am going to write more about Green Tea which really helps in detox and weight loss.
But I know what you are thinking right now...Green Tea smells awful, it tastes even more awful. Gals, we have to understand that what is all that tastes awful are the ones that are healthy.

Even at work, I am trying to continue my health journey, I have been drinking hot green tea in the mornings. 

I have this cute tall cup at work which I bought at a Thrift Store. Whats stated on the cup was what interested me and I believe in that. Its actually a quote by Jane Austen who is the author of the Pride and Prejudice. 

"Nobody minds having what is too good for them" 

Who wouldnt want to eat good and feel good. At least I do. This tall cup carries at least 2 cups of tea. Drinking this japanese kasaayam wouldnt hurt. You can just gulp it down for health sake.

Here are a list of benefits that you are actually getting out of drinking green tea.

1. Gives protection against cancer
2. Speeds up weight loss
3. Reduces breathing problems
4. Lowers severity of rheumatoid arthritis
5. Reduces high blood pressure
6. Reduces the risk of heart diseases
7. Helps in stimulating smooth digestion
8. Reduces effects of obstructive sleep apnea
9. Reduces stress and depression
10. Helps in fighting infections
11. Boosts immune system
12. Prevents Alzheimer's disease
13. Prevents tooth decay

There are so many different brands in the market. From Japanese brands to Lipton there are many choices. There are also tea that has fusion of fruits and fragrance.

For those who dont like the burnt leaves smell can try the flavoured fusion green teas. My US manager once bought mango flavoured and raspberry flavoured green tea which tastes soo yummy. But i guess its expensive but she told me that we can get it at a store near Singapore Mariott Hotel. I have yet to explore that shop that she mentioned. Once I get there, will get it so that you guys will know about this tasty tea too.

If you have green tea now and still cant find the courage to drink it, try drinking green tea with small green limau (lime) ... This will remove that burned leaves smell although you cant eliminate that taste though...If you want, you may drink it slightly chilled with fruits (mangos or berries) chopped in it so you have that sweet sour taste along with the richness of the green tea.

Try it out and let me know on how you are drinking your tea :)

Love
