I just drank 5 cups of green tea today! After reading about the many benefits of drinking green tea, the one that stuck in my mind is of course its weight loss properties. It says that it helps burn more calories. Anything that burns calories is good for me. So I bought one box and started drinking like a fish. Right now, I feel bloated. But I guess it is because I have drank my usual 9 glasses of water too. According to a study, it takes 10 cups a day of green tea to reap its full benefits. So I wanted to drink more. But alas, my stomach can only take in so much. Feeling defeated, I checked online again. Some say that it only takes two cups a day to get the desired benefits. Hurray for that! I think I am going to make green tea a part of my life from now on. It's not just the weight loss properties I am after (though it is the main factor) but the other benefits as well. Among others, it is said to prevent Cancer. I am very pleased to know about this because on my mother's side, they have a history of ovarian cancer. My maternal grandmother and my mom's sister died of ovarian cancer. My mother is an ovarian cancer survivor. Thank god for that! But I heard that cancer can be hereditary too. That makes me scared. But if green tea can help prevent the big C then, green tea is my new bestfriend now =)
