Benefits of Green tea

Growing up I never liked tea. If I had a hot beverage it was hot chocolate but I never enjoyed a cup of tea until I moved to Canada. The winters in Canada can get very cold. We lived in the North of Quebec for a few years and we often had -30 Celsius (-22 Fahrenheit) or colder during the winter. It didn't matter what temperature it was, I walked my dog every single day 2-3x a day. Because the hot beverage helped me warm up after a walk I started drinking tea (I do not drink coffee).

After starting the Jamie Eason's LiveFitTrainer (http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/jamie-eason-livefit-trainer.html) and changing my diet to clean eating I started to read everything I could find about health benefits of certain foods. One day I found out that green tea has a lot of health benefits (Helps against cancer, diabetes, high cholesterol,.....http://umm.edu/health/medical/altmed/herb/green-tea) and it increases your metabolism which helps to loose weight. I thought I give it a try and started drinking green tea and now I am hooked. I have a cup of green tea every morning with breakfast and an other cup after working out.

Have a great day and enjoy your green tea :-)!
