You hear tea is good for you, so you back off on your morning cup of coffee to enjoy a steaming brew. Good for you!
Research shows that the antioxidants called polyphenols found in tea may reduce heart attacks, protect against certain cancers, reduce the inflammation of arthritis and boost bone mineral density.
So you pull up at your favorite Starbucks and order up a tall...no make it a grande, wonderfully-named London Fog Tea Latte. Mmmmm, the scent of bergamot and lavender fills your nose as you take your first sip.
Enjoy that London Fog, because with 2% milk, a grande will give you 200 calories. I’d blame the milk and the sweet vanilla syrup for that, Detroit Runners!
At any rate, be sure to run two miles to burn off that extra 200 calories. And if you are substituting London Fog for your usual Starbucks Latte, you’re getting an extra ten calories!
If you are an afternoon decaf drinker, here's some interesting news about Starbucks and their p.m. brewing practices from Seattle Jobs Examiner, Tara Gowland.
Join me next Thursday for another Burn it to Earn it feature. In the meantime, keep running!
