A Cup of Tea to Nurture Your Body and Lose a Pound or Two

Even though a soothing cup of tea is a perfect treat any time of the year, the beginning of the season of the cold, short, sun-lacking days is especially good time to pamper yourself with a cup of hot tea and even better, try a new taste.

Think of it not just as an intake of hot liquid but more as a relaxing therapy, which will feel good to your body with the welcoming warmth, your mind because you're doing something kind for yourself and taking some quiet time off, as well as your soul. If you're not able to quiet your mind's chatter and completely and exclusively enjoy the aroma, color and taste of your chosen tea, then try to smile and recall a pleasant memory.

Another smart benefit of enjoying a cup of tea is here for you to use if you don't mind losing a pound or two. When you feel hungry, brew a cup of your favorite tea, sit down and enjoy it as described in the previous paragraph. For a few minutes stop working, talking on the phone, answering emails and foremost, thinking angry or any other negatively-charged thoughts. If you really have to think, at least focus on what you really want in your life.

However, it is very important that you really enjoy your cup of tea or you might not even notice that you've consumed anything. On the other hand, if you pay attention, that one cup of pleasantly tasting, warm liquid will feel you up and you can go on for a few more hours doing what you're doing without stuffing your body with some highly processed boxed-or-bagged food that lacks all of the nourishing ingredients.
