healthy living (so i'm told)

green tea.
red yeast rice.
oatmeal.
these are a few of my...
current dietary items.

green tea is probably the most cool one of these. my new boss worked in china at one time. they send him green tea from china. we were talking about green tea today and this afternoon he walked in my office and gave me a small bag of green tea leaves. the leaves are dried and vacuum packed. they are little balls of dry leaves that you put in hot water to steep. when they hydrate they open up like little sea monkeys. actually the flavor is pretty good -- smooth in fact. supposedly the antioxidants in the tea prevent cancer.

red yeast rice -- big pills to prevent high cholesterol. 4 pills a day.

oatmeal -- the cereal from your childhood that you ate at your grandmother's house. the quaker man helps lower your cholesterol.

this is only the beginning i suppose. i do like the green tea though.
