Did you know that? Sounds ridiculous isn’t it? But according Realage.com, you can burn up to 80 extra calories just by drinking a few cups of tea a day! Compounds in tea called catechins may help turn up the dial in your metabolism, increasing the calories you burn as you go about your day. Some research also suggests that tea drinking provides more slimming support by helping calm appetite and curb food intake due to tea’s combination of caffeine and special catechin called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).

Here are a few more reasons why should be a tea lover by now:

• White tea may help shrink fat cells.
• Green tea is great for achy knees.
• Black tea is best for improving blood sugar.
• Regular tea drinking affects your risk of having a stroke, thus, lengthening your life.
• Green tea help revive aging skin cells too!

There you go my hot moms!  Tea is inexpensive, calorie free, and full of  amazing, good for you antioxidants.  So brew yourself a cup of tea and drink up!
