Benefits of Green Tea
Health Benefits
- Rich in antioxidants
- Helps fight risk of cancer
- Boosts brain health
- Boost vitality
- Supports heart health
- Induces relaxation
- May aid weight loss
- Helps boost energy levels
- Has high ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value

Green tea is a healthy dose of caffeine, without the added sugar or milk that so often goes with our brewed cups of coffee. One serving of matcha green tea powder, on the other hand, is about the equivalent of ten cups of brewed green tea. A detoxifier, energy booster, and calorie burner, matcha has long been used for its antioxidant powers. It also works to calm and relax, so if you're stressing, have yoruself a healthy helping of matcha.
Long celebrated for its antioxidant powers, green tea contains catechins (specifically EGCG) - a powerful flavonoid that has been specifically linked to cancer prevention. These unique catechins are great for brain health and overall vitality. Green tea also aids in detoxification due to it’s chlorophyll content. It is also a gentle pick-me-up with lower levels of caffeine. It’s theanine content has been studied as a supplement for relaxation and concentration. After steeping green tea, allow it to cool before adding it to your NutriBlast. This makes a great antioxidant pick-me up when you want to switch up your liquids!
“Matcha” is a Japanese word for “fine powder tea.” It contains at least three times more antioxidants than a regular green tea (and up to 137 times more). Its biggest selling point is the powerful antioxidant load, especially its unique catechins that are great for brain health and overall vitality. Green tea also aids in detoxification due to it’s chlorophyll content. It is also a gentle pick-me-up with lower levels of caffeine. It’s theanine content has been studied as a supplement for relaxation and concentration.

Why Breakfast Helps Your Metabolism
Diabetes: Skipping breakfast may increase a woman's diabetes risk, according to a study published this month in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Women who ate breakfast an average of zero to six times per week were at a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes than women who ate breakfast every day.
Heart Disease: Eating breakfast was associated with a lower incidence of heart disease in men between ages 45 and 82, according to a July study in the journal Circulation. The study also found that skipping breakfast was associated with hypertension, insulin resistance and elevated blood sugar levels.
Memory: A 2005 Journal of the American Dietetic Association review of 47 breakfast-related studies found that eating breakfast is likely to improve cognitive function related to memory and test grades. Translation: Eating breakfast is a smart move!
Weight Loss: In one recent study, people who ate breakfast as their largest meal lost an average of 17.8 pounds over three months. The other participants consumed the same number of total calories per day, but ate most of their calories at dinner, according to the study published in July in the journal Obesity. The large-dinner group only lost an average of 7.3 pounds each over the same time period.
The key: eating a breakfast that’s high in Resistant Starch (RS). Found in foods like bananas and oats, Resistant Starch actually signals your body to use fat for energy.
No problem, try eating a yoghurt instead or a piece of fruit. Then later on when you feel to eat, choose a healthy option.

How To Get Your Metabolism to Speed Up And Burn Fat
Cereals have been known to contain sugar and fortified vitamins. Imagine the wheat processed for your cereal has the most important micronutrients and vitamins removed during that process, and the manufacturers then include them back into the cereal at a later stage, that doesn't make sense to me? But it happens, they call it 'extrusion'Not to mention all the hidden sugars and salt added as well. Very few cereals have enough fibre to be of real benefit to the body.
SO what is the secret to a healthy breakfast?
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After having 7-8hours or more of sleep, and possibly over 10 hours of fasting which has occurred between the time you ate the night before until you wake up in the morning, means your body needs energy to help you get through the first part of the day.So it is crucial for you to have a balanced breakfast first thing in the morning, not only does it wake up your digestive system, but it also kickstarts your metabolism, and gets fat burning effectively. Those that do not have a balanced breakfast filled with fibre and protein, find that they feel tired, sluggish and tend to put on weight later on as their metabolism slows or stops. Too much sugar in your diet can give you incredible highs and lows in energy, and also affects your mood.
By reducing sugar in your breakfast first thing and drinking at least 2 glasses of water to replenish the bodies water intake, will give you increased energy.
What is the ideal breakfast?

Lose Weight and Have Fun Doing It!
Losing weight can be fun!
Try getting together with a bunch of friends and help cheer each other on. Or join us on the Challenge....I try to make it a competition on who can find the tastiest low calorie menu / meal for the week. It gets even better, when you can find low calorie deserts and cakes which are home made and you know all the ingredients that you personally put in them are healthy and low fat!
Going back to basics, cooking food from fresh produce makes dieting interesting and fun and not to mention healthy too! I recently did a 10 day detox many of you have since followed and completed this too, and I found it fun buying all these vegetables I would not normally buy and making a meal out of the various combinations.
You can control what you put in your meals, how you cook your meals and the portion size,all of which are important to successful weight management. Of course the fun begins when you invite friends around for a 'healthy four course meal', all freshly cooked by yourself. Who would imagine losing weight and cooking delicious food all in the same sentence!
Exercising is also made easier when you have friends to do things with, to goad you along and to encourage you when you feel like you don't want to get out there in the cold,wind or rain! Come check out our Challenge Groups, which are designed to help provide support for those of you on the 90 day challenge.
You may also want to look at taking up activities you would not normally do, like line dancing, salsa or badminton something where you can have fun with others while building new friendships and support networks.
Don't get into the trap of weighing yourself too often. I would say once every two weeks is adequate enough, more importantly is measuring the inches you lose as this is a good indication of fat loss. After all, that is why you are losing weight in the first place.
Have fun losing weight don't make it a chore and watch it all drop off! After all you are now undertaking a massive lifestyle change,one that will stay with you long term.
If you want to join us on our next 90 day challenge click here and fill in the form for more info.
