So I'm doing a bit of a beverage overhaul....several months ago I made an effort to stop drinking diet soda because it is so bad for you, and I'm doing pretty good. I now only have the occasional one now and then - I love the carbonation!
Then, per my previous post, you'll see that I've started the hot water/lemon/cayenne mixture in the mornings - I really love this. So many benefits, and I definitely notice a boost and a sense of clarity/energy from drinking it.
My other new beverage of choice is Green Tea - I know, nothing revolutionary. But, it is new for me and I'm trying to make it a habit. I have been a coffee addict, and with the brewing debate as to whether coffee is good for you or not, I've decided to give it a go on swapping my Joe for tea. With all its health benefits - the antioxidants and metabolism boost. I also like having the hot drink that I can sip on, and it helps me not think about any cravings I may be having. I like it - currently I'm doing a cup a day, which I may or may not keep up, but either way I will definitely make sure that this is a regular part of my daily intake so I'm reaping all the benefits!

New Heath Tip - Hot Water + Lemon w/ Cayenne Every Day
One new health tip that I've found and tried out is drinking hot water with lemon (and sometimes cayenne) everyday. I've mostly been doing the lemon part since I don't always love cayenne in the morning. Accordingly to this blogger, you should drink this mix every morning first thing, 30 minutes before you eat anything. I've done it for several days now and am hooked.
