Enjoying Your Green Tea

Green tea has been marked for thousand of decades now as a healthy drink. As drinking green tea has become part of the daily routine of most people, more and more have been advocating this because of the health benefits it can provide to its drinkers. In study, it’s known that Chinese and Japanese were initially the ones to be drinking this beverage, but because of its healthy benefits, drinking green tea regularly has been advocated all over the world.

Medically speaking, this kind of tea has been claimed to prevent illnesses and believed to help lose weight as well. Anyone who drinks green tea produces heat in the body that causes the extra calories or fats to get burned or scientifically known as Thermogenesis. As a result, green tea has become a trend since thousand years ago and even more popular in the contemporary period. Who would not enjoy the benefits of green tea and weight loss in a healthy way?

People who usually wish to lose weight are typically those who complain of slow body metabolism and green tea is known to speed this up. When the person’s metabolism increases, chances are, the body is capable to burn more fat and calories that of course would cause weight loss.

Diabetics are strongly encouraged to take this healthy drink as green tea also serves as an anti oxidant which is also called as epigallocatechin gallate (or EGCG) and this drink also contains caffeine that stimulates the body to lose fat into the bloodstream that converts as its fuel.

Caffeine is studied to be helpful in boosting one’s energy and energy helps people to move longer and faster that ofcourse when done, would definitely burn extra fats and calories.

Because of the people’s advocacy to this healthy drink, Boresha has designed a product that people would enjoy experiencing green tea and weight loss in one time, remember, “at the same time”. NUVOGENE TEA is the best green tea that provides health benefits and claims to have no side effects when properly taken.

How To Make Black Soybean Milk By Myself?

Black Soybean Milk

It does not matter whether it is black or white. Black Soybean also known as Black Bean or Black Soya Bean will give you a white looking milk just like its cousin, the soya bean. It may not be common for you to find anyone selling this drink out there but you’d be surprise to know that the cooking method is the same. If you know how to make black soybean milk, you will also know how to make soybean milk
The Black Bean Milk tastes quite similar to the common Soy Bean Milk albeit creamier. It is more expensive to purchase compared to the soy bean but once you’ve made a couple of litres of this, you will then realise that the vendors are making hefty profit out of this nutritious drink (hint : a couple of hundred percent profit). The hardest work involved is the milking process – when you have to squeeze out the milk / juice from the blended beans. Ensure that you get a good filter. I used a cotton coffee filter (the ones which Malaysians use to brew coffee in kopitiams).
Do not keep this drink longer than necessary. Overnight at the most, being kept in the refridgerator. Somehow, my gut feeling is that drinks made from beans are not supposed to last long especially if it did not go through any factory process. Anyway, if you are keen to impress your family or your weekend guests, give this drink a try. It’s nutritious and definitely delicious.
This is my wife’s recipe for Black Soy Bean Milk
Ingredients

• a couple of pandan leaves
• 2.5 litres of water
• Sugar to taste

Method

Pour blended black soy bean into a large bowl or pot and add remaining water. Strain / Sieve the contents through a fine muslin cloth.
Place sieved black soy bean milk into a pot, add the pandan leaves and bring to boil very slowly. Ensure that you stir the milk regularly to prevent burning. Turn off the heat immediately upon boiling and allow to cool.
You can either choose to add the sugar whilst bringing the black soy bean to boil or prepare syrup separately and add the syrup prior to drinking.
Serve hot or cold.

What Do Healthy Drinks Have To Say?

Americans consume so much sugary drinks like sodas, juices and other beverages everyday. This is the very reason why soft drink industries manufacture 10.4 billion gallons of soda annually that would suffice every American’s need of about 12-ounce can daily. According to statistics, four out of five US children and two out of three American adults consume sugar-filled drinks each day while teen boys consume more that a quart of sugary beverages daily. On the other hand, adults, who want to lose weight consume more than 12-ounce of sweet drinks everyday.

Just like any other sweetened beverages, fruit juices is no excuse because of its excess sugar content despite of it “sounding (and looking) healthy and nutritious”. Accordingly, 12-ounce of sugary drink has a whooping 10-12 teaspoons of sugar which is equivalent to 150 calories- no wonder why Americans succumb to health problems such as obesity and Type 2 diabetes. Records show that these sugary drinks had contributed to the drastic increase of “diabesity”.

A recent study from the Harvard School of Public Health found out that consuming sugary drink is linked with heart disease. This was published in its April issue with 90,000 women-respondents of whom the study was conducted. Research showed that women who consumed more than 2 servings of sweetened beverage each day had at least 40 percent possibility of acquiring heart disease than women who seldom consume these beverages. It further revealed that the possibility of not acquiring these illnesses whilst consuming sugary beverages will be low if one is having healthy and balanced diet or at least maintaining a healthy weight. Moreover, these sugary beverages have an unpleasant effect to blood sugar levels and cholesterol that would greatly contribute to the possibility of acquiring heart ailments, not to mention its prime role as the number catalyst for obesity and diabetes.

Healthy drinking through better beverage choices will help you get rid of obesity and diabetes- and the best option would always be water. As we know, water delivers everything- nutrients, vitamins and minerals which are needed by our body. Pure water is healthy because its 100percent calorie-free. However, this would be very impossible for someone who palate has gotten used to sweet drinks as plain water could just be so “boring to drink”. But just when you want to be healthy, you have to make way to being one and healthy drinking is just the best option.
