why me drink green tea

     

   Honestly, I don't like sodas. Firstly, sodas are full of sugar and it is too sweet. It's like diabetes in a can. Secondly, I don't enjoy cold drinks. I rather drink iced tea (unsweetened iced tea.. reminds me of subway) instead of sodas. Thirdly, I am not a big fan of carbonated drinks. Lastly, it doesn't have any health benefits! So if you're trying to drop some weight and if you're watching your calories I think you should stop drinking that calorie loaded soda.
        You can have a refreshing glass of water or an unsweetened iced tea.. or you can just have a soothing cup of green tea. (after or before meals) If you don't like it's taste you may want to try adding some honey or some milk.
       Anyway, I think this is one of the health and beauty secrets of the Japanese and the Chinese (most of the Asians) of staying healthy, fit and young looking.

Some health benefits of drinking green tea:

        Green tea can help to stop the spread of calls that causes cancer. Maybe that's the answer why do Japan has a low rate of cancer?
        Green tea can help you loss weight (without the milk) because there are no calories on it. Obviously, you need to combine it with a proper diet and exercise.
       Green tea can help prevent diabetes and it can also reduce the risks of cataracts.
       The antioxidants in tea can help prevent arthritis. Antioxidants block the enzymes that attack and destroy bones. They can also make the condition less painful.

            Studies show that green tea has some anti aging properties.No wonder why do Japan has the longest life expectancies in the world. 
           Green tea has less caffeine. A great substitute to coffee.
           Actually, there a lot of health benefits  in drinking green tea. So I hope that somehow I convinced you to stay away from unhealthy drinks such as sodas and sugar loaded drinks. Enjoy tea time~
