Why Tea Is A Better Choice Than A Sports Drink For Your Workout
By TeaMaster • Nov 3rd, 2008 • Category: Tea Health Benefits, The LatestWhen people workout, chances are they do it to burn calories. Why then do they drink a nearly equivalent number of calories after their workout “rehydrating” with a sports drink.
It doesn’t make a lot of sense.
A 16oz. sports drink has roughly 100 calories. For a 130 lb. person, that equates to 20 minutes on the treadmill.
There is a better choice.
Sugar-free green tea has no calories, and studies show it can burn an additional 17% more fat during a 30 minute workout. That’s like extra minutes with no extra work.
And don’t forget the other health benefits of tea.
So, forget what the commercials say; the real power drink is tea!
