Just after eating nearly a whole bag of Cadbury clusters, so NICE! lol.
Was feeling abit down cos I'm missing friends and family at home (and its so boring here & no-ones in Glasgow!). Anyways I've made myself a brew of green tea (with blueberries & raspberries) <3 to feel abit better about stuffing my face with so much chocolate!!
Here's some facts& benefits about green tea though:
<3 it speeds up the metabolism so helps with weigh loss! This is because the polyphenol found in green tea intensifies the level of fat oxidation
and the rate at which your body turns food into calories.
<3 Hence it helps with diabetes; by regulating glucose levels and slowing blood sugar rise after eating. It also prevents high insulin spikes and resulting fat storage.
<3 Helps protect against heart disease by preventing blood clots (the primary cause of heart attacks) and
keeping blood vessels stay relaxed and resilient to changes in blood pressure.
<3 Reduces bad 'LDL' cholesterol in the blood and improves the ratio of good 'HDL' cholesterol to bad cholesterol.
<3 and apparently it can help with wrinkles and delay symptoms of aging! This is because of their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.
I mostly drink just pure green teas, although I love jasmine (so floral) too & drink that quite alot. When the shops have twinings on offer too I usually get some fancy infused ones; my favourites are green tea with grapefruit & pineapple, also apple & pear, cranberry, mint <3 and this cuppa I'm having- raspberries & blueberries. Its delish!

Hopefully it'll make me feel like I want to do some form of exercise tomorrow (really I wish I was just going out to a beer garden...then to a party for drink & dance!lol). Plans for tomorrow are to just go to the gym & sell things on ebay :). Shall see how that goes!
