Relaxing

Back home now after a super busy day at work. Non-stop phone calls and emails! I managed to get all of the important stuff done by the end of the day but there were a few jobs that I had to leave until tomorrow.

Now it's time to kick back and watch some TV and maybe drink some tea!

Speaking of tea, I've been drinking a lot of green tea lately and I'm really enjoying it. I feel very refreshed after a cup of it and a bit energetic (no doubt due to the caffeine)! I don't drink coffee at all so it's nice to have a hot drink on a cold day that warms your body.

For those who don't know, there are numerous health benefits to drinking green tea. For starters, it can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, increases your metabolism, and some studies have shown that it can reduce the occurrence of breast cancer!

Considering most of my day is sitting at a desk, drinking a few cups of green tea in a day should hopefully alleviate some of the negative effects of a sedentary lifestyle.

Finally, a little tip for those who don't find the flavor of it too appealing:
I find by adding some lemon juice and honey it can really add some nice flavorings to the mix and it really can quench your thirst!
