DIET TIP 2 green tea

GREEN TEA

Hello guys...this post is about the most easy-to-follow diet tip-drink 5 cups of green tea daily.Though as a future doctor i want to give a detailed explanation about green tea,the student in me says that u ppl know everything n it will be gr8 to just hit to the point...so....

                                                   
How to:
we can prepare green tea by 4 methods
1.electric kettle:heat 1 cup of water in an elctric kettle and then let it cool down for 10-15 min then drop the green tea bag/spoonfull of green tea leaves n let it sit for 2 min n its ready to drink {or}if you dont have the time to wait then add 1/3 part of cold water to 2/3 of hot water n then dip ur tea bag


2.microwave oven:take 1 cup of water n let it in microwave for 1.5 min n then add green tea n enjoy your cup of tea


3.stove: on stove heat 1 cup of water till it becomes hot for 3-4 min and then add the tea


4.refridgerate:for a cool n refreshing drink,place the 1 cup of cooked green tea in the freezer for 15 min and relish the chilled goodness..
ate
                      
Its important:
1.Never add green tea to boiling water.The water used should only be hot not boiling otherwise the goodness of green tea decreases.


2.Dont add sugar or any artificial sweetners...


3.never allow the green tea to sit in hot water for more than 2.5 min


4.green tea without anything added like sugar and milk is Zero calories.


5.green tea 1 cup can burn 70-80 calories per day paired with exercise.
                                    


Advantages:


Green tea is helpful in:
*cancer
*rheumatoid arthritis
*high cholesterol levels
*cardio vascular diseases
*infection
*impaired immune function
*reduces appetite
*boosts metabolism


My take:
I drink 5 cups of green tea everyday mainly for my weight loss..i dont add anything to my cup.Its difficult to develop this green tea habit because of its smell and taste but its goodness will the get on you...i sometimes use green tea as a toner(mixed with apple cider vinegar),as a hair rinse,as a scrub (with sugar and olive oil),as a face mask...


                      
Do you have the habit of green tea?how do you prepare your cup of green tea and plz share the other ways you use this treasure...
stay healthy and beautiful...

"Sure I am that this day we are masters of our fate,that the task which has been set before us is not above our strength; that its pangs and toils are not beyond my endurance. As long as we have faith in our own cause and an unconquerable will to win, victory will not be denied us..."

On LEADERSHIP....

 216 "Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile."
                - Vince Lombardi
   
    217."Leadership is not magnetic personality -- that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not 'making friends and influencing people' -- that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person's vision to high sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations."
                 - Peter F. Drucker
   
    217."Outstanding leaders go out of their way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves, it's amazing what they can accomplish."
                 - Sam Walton

   
    218."Leadership is doing what is right when no one is watching."
                - George Van Valkenburg

219.Lead without a title-robin sharma

   

Thoughts.....


1. Every moment in front of another human being is an OPPORTUNITY to express your highest values and best self.

2. No matter where you go, people treat you the way you treat them.

3. No work is unimportant work. Even the most seemingly insignificant job is a chance to show us your creativity and make a contribution.

4. "Perfect Moments" can happen in the least likely of places.

5. Mastery Matters.

6. If you're not lifting others up, you're bringing others down.

7. This time is the BEST time for each of us to show our leadership+virtuosity+humanity.

8. We each have the responsibility to Lead Without a Title and do our part to build a better world through world-class work and stepping into our best selves.

Keep Leading Without A Title.

Description: Robin Sharma 

Happy Independence Day


Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action--
Into that heaven of freedom, my father, let my country awake.
Rabindranath Tagore
Gitanjali

If I Knew You & You Knew Me


If I Knew You & You Knew Me
Nixon Waterman

If I knew you and you knew me,
If both of us could clearly see,
And with an inner sight divine,
The meaning of your heart and mine,
I'm sure that we would differ less,
And clasp our hands in friendliness;
Our thoughts would pleasantly agree,
If I knew you and you knew me.

                   It Couldn't be Done
                                             
Edgar Guest








Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But, he with a chuckle replied
That "maybe it couldn't" but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.

So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, as he did it.

Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'll never do that;
At least no one we know has done it";
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he'd begun it.

With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.

There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.

But just buckle right in with a bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
That cannot be done, and you'll do it

The road not taken...


Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.

                                                                                                         ROBERT FROST


this was a poem from my 8th standard english textbook.Recollecting now i feel sooo thankful to our english teacher padma mam for explaining this soo well..if not for her i would never understand this piece of wealth.....
