Know The Healthy Benefits Of Black Tea June 2, 2008
Posted by Health Mama in : Food / Drinks , add a comment
I am still addicted to drinking tea even after trying to stop drinking for a few times. Instead of drinking tea with milk, I have changed to black tea. I guess drinking black tea is much better than drinking tea with milk.
Black tea brings more healthy benefits if compared to tea with milk. According to German scientists, the caseins found in milk decrease the amount of protective compounds in tea known as catechins, eliminating the protective effect against cardiovascular disease.
Drinking just black tea not only improves blood flow, it also helps in weight loss. Drinking tea with milk definitely makes you fatter.

I purchased one bag of the Vanilla Rice n Shine on Amazon. I love the taste and consistency-nice and smooth.
I mix Rice n Shine
I try different things with Rice n Shine like skim milk and bananas, skim milk, a half teaspoon of cocao, and a few drops of vanilla extract and ice cubes to make a great chocolate shake. I love it.
I neither noticed a weight gain nor weight loss, just want to get through the day without the hunger pangs.

5 Fitness Myths That Cause Fitness Failures December 3, 2007
Posted by Health Mama in : Weight Loss , add a commentUnfortunately, many people are misinformed and are also misled by the many fitness myths and promises of the weight loss industry.
Everywhere you look, you see or hear of people promising “Dramatic Weight Loss” with products such as “The Fat Trapper”, or “Exercise in a Bottle”.
Then you also have the hundreds of diets out there such as “The Zone”, “Sugar Busters” or “The Atkins Diet”. I’m sure you have heard of many of these yourself. You might have even tried some of them.
Unfortunately, these products and diets are not the quick fix, or the miracles they are portrayed as. They are also usually very dangerous. (more…)
Unique And Healthy Tea Blooms As Tea Gifts May 27, 2007
Posted by Health Mama in : Food / Drinks , 1 comment so far
Tea is a healthy beverage offering many health benefits (if you skip the cream and sugar). It contains polyphenols which gives tea its antioxidant properties that may help protect our body from free radical damage.
My hubby consumes teas so as to cut down cholesterol while I use teas for weight loss. We drink teas after every meal.
According to ancient Chinese legend, the first cup of tea was produced in 2737 B.C., when the leaves of a black tea shrub haphazardly fell into the boiling water of Emperor Shen Nung, the father of Chinese medicine. Ever since, Asian monks and herbalists have used teas to treat various ailments, from the flu to complexion blemishes.
As my hubby and I are tea lovers, we always receive teas, tea sets , tea gifts from friends. In return, we also like to give tea production besides flowers and vegetables to them.
Have you heard of tea blooms in Cameron Highlands ? Noop ? I wonder if I can find tea blooms in Cameron Highlands ? Honestly speaking, the first time my hubby and I saw tea blooms, we were impressed. It’s an eye-opener for us as we haven’t seen any in Cameron Highlands. Correct me if there are any tea blooms in Cameron Highlands.
We were given tea blooms as our unique anniversary gifts recently. Our friend ordered a full bloom tea set from FullBloomTea.com. When my friend steeped the tea blooms in water that had been boiled, the tea blooms twisted, turned, moved and appeared to bloom right before our eyes into amazing floral bouquets. Our eyes were wide open and jaws dropped ! It was stunning !
Not only are these teas beautiful, but they are also rich in antioxidants and are infused with beautiful dehydrated flowers such as Jasmine, Globe Amaranth and Marigold just to name a few which give additional flavors and health benefits to our teas.
The tea blooms can be re-steeped up to 3 times each. And once you are done steeping and drinking, put the used bloom in a clear glass or vase with clean water to enjoy the beauty as a centerpiece.
They are definitely unique tea gifts that we will consider sending our family members and friends. Since FullTeaBloom.com entertains wholesale as well as corporate gift-giving inquiries, my hubby and I are thinking of joining as wholesale partners.
When sending greeting cards next time, we choose greeting bloom cards. Well, we are now living in Cameron Highlands, thus gifts sent should be from or related to Cameron Highlands such as flowers,vegetables,handicrafts by Orang Asli and tea gifts.
We even encourage our friends to get a free sample to try first .
