Green tea can also help with health conditions like diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease, blood pressure, skin issues, and so much more. Why wouldn’t you drink more?

Day 18: Check ingredients. Today, focus on eating foods with small ingredient lists. This is especially important to pay attention to when snacking.

Here’s a hint- the ingredient list for apples, bananas, and almonds are all very small!Related: 8 Easy Ways to Burn 100 Calories
