The tea is just my health bomb tea recipe. Larry would be surprised, but I read a lot of medical studies; specifically on health junk. Basically there's clinical evidence that green tea with ginger and lemon has all kinds of benefits over leaving them out, so that's why I make it that way. White tea also has some immune benefits so I chuck that in there too. Teas with caffeine make you pee which , if you're getting enough water, is a great thing. It's been shown in "blue zone" studies that frequent urination helps lower blood pressure. Then there's turmeric which is a known "super spice". There is clinical evidence that its effects are increased when in a solution of oil along with black pepper. Thus toss in some curry, cheyenne pepper, and you got a party. For oils I use unrefined oils since refining removes much of the positive health benefits and just leaves you with empty calories. If you're going to deep fry, do it right! Try some spectrum unrefined peanut oil; oh man does it smell awesome. Or unrefined coconut oil. It can't take the high heat, but with scrambled eggs? super-yum. I'm also an ice cream fan, but don't the real stuff all of the time so I make "sorbet": I buy a big bag of frozen strawberries/blueberries/raspberries/pineapple from SuperTarget. $6 for a monster bag. Then I take a giant beer mug (ironic, huh?) and put some o the frozen fruit in there and nuke it. Then I blend it smooth with an immersion blender. Then I add in more frozen fruit until it's sorbet. Awesome! Gotta be careful with fructose carbs though - it's controversial to say, but true: goes right to fat. Fructose is a weird sugar in that any of the carbs you don't use turn to fat immediately so it's one you have to "time" in my opinion. If you're trying to lose fat, go easy on the fruit and never after 8pm, IMO ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
