Green Tea: The New Energy Drink

The wonderful health benefits of Green Tea

Okay, so in my "Barista Girl" days, I used to make a mean Cappuccino even though I was never a coffee fan. However, my mother has always been a fan of tea, which made me a tea drinker by default; and in particular, I have always heard about how bitter Green Tea can taste. I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon the Organo Gold Green Tea. And after reading about some of the potential side effects of certain energy drinks, I'm thinking maybe I should try substituting with Green Tea.

Why I love Organo Gold Organic Green Tea:

• I am energized without the jitters, and it seems to have a calming effect (one client swears they were able to finally deep clean their home after having just one cup).
• I can make a gallon of Green Tea with just one bag
• It is smooth and "clean" tasting without the bitter "Green Tea aftertaste" Green Tea is known for
• It's affordable, organic, and infused with organic Ganoderma Extract

 The best part is, you can get this tea at the Wholesale Price if you'd like.

Is it really true that you can make a whole gallon of Organic Green Tea with one bag? Absolutely! Above is a picture of a batch I made, with organic Ginger root and organic sugar (you can make yours any way you want).

The Healing Properties of Chocolate

Here are a few articles (and quotes) about how amazing dark chocolate can be. Remember, once chocolate is heated, it loses many of its nutrients. Enjoy:

"Chocolate is a Super Food"

• Superfoods are usually classed as those high in antioxidants – compounds which prevent oxidisation and can stop healthy cells from being damaged.  
• The research showed that both dark chocolate and cocoa had more antioxidant activity and more flavonols than fruit.
• Cacao seeds should be considered a 'super fruit' and products derived from cacao seed extracts, such as natural cocoa powder and dark chocolate, as 'super foods'," she said.
• However heating chocolate destroyed any health giving properties, they discovered. 

Article: The Telegraph

 "Cocoa shows promise as next wonder drug"

• ...heavy intake of certain types of cocoa as an easy, inexpensive way to increase blood to the brain and, thus, to play a role in reducing the risk of those devastating diseases.
• Don’t run to the beverage section of your local market right away, however. Hollenberg’s and his colleagues’ experiments dealt with natural cocoa, not varieties that have undergone extensive processing to suit consumer tastes.
• four cups of (flavanol-rich) cocoa dramatically increased blood flow to the arms and fingers of people after only four days
• (an increase in cacao) can help people fighting diseases ranging from high blood pressure, hardening of arteries, and stroke to diabetes, vascular dementia, and preeclampsia, a serious condition that affects pregnant women.

Article: The Harvard Gazette.

Such great information, right? Who knew that chocolate could be so amazing for you? Don't forget, as soon as chocolate is heated, all bets are off and the health-giving properties are destroyed. Learn more about the health benefits of chocolate here --> CHOCOLATE.

Say "Goodbye" to heartburn & irritable bowel!

One of my sisters, who is a major coffee addict, used to tell me about her love-hate relationship with coffee. She loved drinking coffee multiple times a day at work, but then her stomach would start disagreeing with her and she'd have to run-not walk-to the bathroom. Then I introduced her to the Organo Gold black coffee and she informed me that her need to go to the restroom wasn't as violent as before. She no longer had to run to the bathroom.

Heartburn can be a major issue for many hardcore or longtime coffee drinkers. A girlfriend of mine, after being a coffee drinker for most of her life, has started getting heartburn after drinking her usual cup of coffee and since then, can only drink no more than a half a cup of coffee (unless she wants to torture herself with heartburn later).

I have good news for everyone reading this blog post: you can skip the heartburn and drink as much coffee as you want at Cafe Afrodite! Organo Gold coffee is made from a low acidity bean and infused with Ganoderma Lucidum, also known as Red Reishi. Here's what's so great about Ganoderma:

"Reishi consumption has also been shown to decrease gastric acid, which, in excess, can lead to the formation of peptic and gastric ulcers. It has also been shown to regulate bowel movements, relieving symptoms of constipation and diarrhea, such as that found in irritable bowel syndrome."

Everything at Cafe Afrodite is infused with Ganoderma Lucidum, so each time you are sipping a cup of coffee, you are not only pleasing your senses, but pleasing your body by giving it a boost of health as well. Try a box today!

Baby Steps--My Weight Loss Journey

I'll keep it simple. I was a size 26 at my biggest (college) and I am now sittin' pretty at a 20 (unofficially, but my 22s are hanging off of me). How did I do it? I drank Green Tea, Red Tea, and Coffee. Here is a picture of me, in a size 22 skirt:

(I removed my face because I am vain and was not looking my best that day) ;)

~I have not been drinking the Organo Gold coffee and tea consistently, yet I have kept the weight off.

~I did not incorporate exercise or juicing until I was below a 22. Usually with fad diets or products, you lose the weight while you're on the product or diet and will gain the weight right back as soon as you stop being consistent. I am here to tell you that there were months when I could only have 1 tea a day, or 1 coffee a week, yet I still kept all that weight loss (from a size 26-22) off.

So many people talk about how they need to lose weight, how they need to detox, but when I tell them "just drink this tea 2 or 3 times a day" they have a hard time either believing it or committing to it. That's sad, because most people drink coffee or tea anyway, and it's really easy! You can even get all of the products at Cafe Afrodite discounted as a Preferred Customer, losing inches for as little as $0.57/cup of black coffee or $0.88/cup for tea; and all you have to do is DRINK IT--how hard is that? AND each tea bag make up to 32oz of tea!

If you are SERIOUS about losing some inches, pounds, or interested in drinking beverages that can benefit your health, OR you just LOVE coffee & tea, like my biz page. Let's have a conversation about weight loss: www.facebook.com/CafeAfrodite ♥

The 12oz curl, A Powerful Weight Loss Secret

"I hate exercise, but need to lose weight." I hear this ALL the time. Although exercise is a necessary evil (that you come to enjoy as you continue doing it), I have great news for the "exercise challenged"--you can start slow by doing the 12oz curl! What is the 12oz curl? Simply lifting a cup of coffee or tea (your choice) to your lips and taking a sip...THAT'S IT! This is all I did to go from a size 26 to now below a 22. As a matter of fact, I didn't start incorporating exercise until I had reached a size 22. I was so toxic that I didn't have the energy or the motivation to commit to exercise. I'm absolutely certain that I am now a size 20.

How can it be that simple? For example, we already know the health benefits of Green Tea on its own, with no additional herbs or anything added. But just in case we forgot (or didn't know), here are the health benefits of Green Tea:

However, with the added benefit of Ganoderma Lucidum, the health benefits increase exponentially, not to mention, Ganoderma is already known for speeding up metabolism and aiding in the detox process. And all YOU have to do is drink it, multiple times a day or throughout the day! Each Organo Gold Green Tea bag can make upwards of 32oz of tea, so you're getting your money's worth while you detox, speed up your metabolism and get your energy back so you CAN get your exercise on.

"Does the coffee do the same thing?" Yes it does. The same herb, Ganoderma Lucidum, is in all Organo Gold products, and you can get them all for a great price at Cafe Afrodite! Did you know that the average coffee drinker pays anywhere from $60-100 a month for coffee? That's a $3-5 latte, 1 time a day, 5 days a week. Why pay $5/day when you can pay $1.13-1.50/day instead? That comes out to $34/month!

As always, you can purchase coffee, tea & supplements at Cafe Afrodite.

Making Money While You Sleep (as a Customer)

Hello everyone. Cafe Afrodite here.

I'm aware that most people HATE sales and HATE marketing (even though we are all walking billboards in one way or the other), so I have great news for you--You can make money as a customer, in your sleep, simply by spreading the word about this fabulous coffee & tea line. Let me explain.

I slept in today until after 10AM. Prepared and ordered some black coffee, began checking my Twitter interactions, and here's a tweet I received at around 830AM: Hey @CafeAfrodite ! I just placed an order on your website :) thank you!

Well, that was easy wasn't it?

All I've been doing is drinking Organo Gold coffee & tea, tweeting and facebooking about it, handing out samples to coffee & tea drinkers, and while I was sleeping, someone purchased a box via my website. And guess what? I will get paid a commission! Whether I make a monthly order or not, each time someone goes to my website and orders a box or two (or 5) of coffee or tea, I get a commision.

So here's what I will tell you. If you are not into sales, but you drink coffee or tea and know people who also drink coffee or tea, at least be what's called a "Preferred Customer." Preferred Customer just means you pay $0.57/cup of black coffee instead of $1.13 or $1.00/cup for 12 months. How much does that discount cost? A one-time payment of $49.95, and that is paid to the company, not me.

You get your own website (you can name it whatever you want), you don't have to make an order each month, and each time someone goes to your website to order a box of coffee or tea, you get paid the difference between the retail price & the wholesale price. It's that simple. So not only would you be getting amazing coffee and tea at a discount, but you could potentially make some extra money just by telling people how amazing it is and where they can get it (from your Customer website or from you).

Pretty cool, huh?

As always, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to tweet me at @CafeAfrodite or find me on Facebook. You can browse the Organo Gold products at my Cafe Afrodite online store.
