Want to shed a few pounds for this coming year? The best way to lose weight is to raise your metabolism, and not dieting. Not only does this give you more energy to get through the day, it also keeps your body younger and fitter.

(Yes, a higher rate of metabolism means your body has more spare capacity to perform tissue repairs, keeping you younger and fitter!)

How to raise your metabolism? For me, this comes down three things: exercise, healthy food and tea drinking. I will go through the latter two in more details.

=========
Healthy Food
=========
I received my copy of World's Healthiest Foods from the USA a couple of months ago and it pretty much changed my cooking habits - for good.

You see, usually when I buy a recipe book, I am looking for a recipe that will satisfy my budget and my family's taste buds. But The World's Healthiest Foods offers much more. It is an encyclopedia on nutrition, and yet it is highly practical.

It teaches me what nutrition each food contains, how to buy and store, and shows me the healthiest way to cook them. The whole emphasis is on "light touch" cooking that preserves the raw nutrition of the food. Also, all the recipes are simple and easy to follow, great for making everyday food!

Quality Tea
========
To me, a cup of quality tea is naturally organic. It contains high level of antioxidants and theanine, is naturally sweet and exudes a heavenly aroma.

But can drinking quality tea helps you lose weight?

This is a topic that I wrote extensively on the website, so I will keep it concise here. The science of tea and weight loss is well established. It helps you lose weight in three ways.

First, it raises metabolism and gives you more energy. High quality green and white tea buds harvested in spring contains two compounds that make this happens in a very special way.

Tea buds contain caffeine that increases energy level. They also contain another compound called theanine, which tastes sweet and promotes calmness.

Overall, you experience a state of mind that can be described as calm and yet alert, with sustainable energy level throughout the day.

Second, tea reduces fat in your body. It does so in three ways:

- Burn fat
- Block fat conversion
- Block fat absorption

Finally, tea regulates blood sugar level and reduces food cravings. It also reduces the risks of diabetes.

I can go on and on. So if you want to learn more, the following articles may help:
