If you are anything like me (overloaded with information and more forgetful then ever!) you might like these tips to naturally boost brain power. I especially like the mention of high antioxidant foods such as green tea, cocoa and berries!

Yes, it's been a little while since we've blogged...we promise that this is first on our priority list come fall. But we have a good reason!

We have been working hard in the kitchen on our latest creations-Nicobella Munch. Los Angeles is sampling our Mama Munch right now and loving it! You can find more information at www.nicobellamama.com

And stay tuned...our two other "Munch" creations are delicious as well. Coco-Nut Munch (our version of a 'healthy Almond Joy' ) and Maple-Nut Munch (perfect for the sweet & salty lover) are coming soon!

Eating your fruits and veggies, avoiding late night snacks and exercising daily? Yet still can’t seem to get rid of that extra layer of belly?

Drink green tea daily. There is increasing evidence that people who habitually drink green tea have lower overall body fat and waist circumference.

Green tea has a wide array of compounds such as amino acids, minerals and caffeine, but the reduction in body fat seems to be attributable to the polyphenol portion called catechins.

You may have heard of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) which accounts for two thirds of the total catechins found in green tea. There are supplements sold with EGCG but it seems that they are probably not as beneficial as drinking your green tea daily.

The amount of green tea that has shown beneficial effects on body fat is equal to 4-5 cups of brewed green tea a day. However, the catechin content varies from brand to brand, and also depends on the way the tea is brewed.

Unless you are not able to have caffeine, drinking several cups of green tea daily may be a great addition to your healthy eating and exercise routine!

Our personal favorite green teas include Yogi  www.yogiproducts.com  and Bigelow  www.bigelowtea.com . Try delicious flavors like Blueberry and Pomegranate. Or, please visit our lovely friends at Bird Pick Tea & Herb if you live in the Los Angeles area www.birdpick.com for some of the most savory and fresh tea you'll ever sip!
