how i came to love brown rice


It was almost a month or more since i tried again eating brown rice. I heard that it is healthier than white rice. and now that I read some info, i am now a believer of whole grains. I found that it have more benefits aside from fiber, the phyto chemicals in the grains which is removed when it is polished to white rice is a big difference. You may check this article to learn more.

In  my own experience, to adapt to this change, we have to be ready. White rice have this distinct characteristic of making you eat more and the moment you tried brown rice you won't feel that anymore. Maybe it is because of the fiber that makes you easily feel full. But to enjoy this, the way to prepare brown rice should be learned. Years ago, we tried eating brown rice but then we revert back because we cannot cook it well. It absorbs more water and it takes more time cooking to have that soft texture of rice. You should also prepare that it taste lesser than white rice. You can be accustomed to it and knowing its benefits, you will really try to live with it.

Milk Tea Craze

The most popular drink today is milk tea...Gongcha, Serenitea, SIP, Cha Time and many more stalls are popping up to offer the most famous drink at present. But years before, while I am still in college, I love milk tea...freshly brewed black tea with powdered milk and sugar. i love it sweet. This drink was introduced to me by my friend susan. She got it when she worked in saudi...and i was surprise when I was am in Darwin that they really do the milk tea with fresh milk of course. Honestly, it is my 3rd day having milk tea and I know it is sinful...because of high sugar...i love it with full sugar...i am not happy if I make it sugar free....with this...i realized that i should take it in moderation...once a week will do. This has been my sinful week but next week I will try to limit it....

Business wise I will commend those who started this business...it is now on its momentum but if you are trying to jump in the business its already too late...its currently in its peak and sooner or later it will just be a normal drink...so if you thought of any new thing that you want to venture in...try it out fast..who knows...that idea can be BIG....
