nothing to do - tea time ya? 4

My tea time always ring in at 4.00pm. It has become like clock work for my stomach. The laidback life. I am getting bigger on the wrong side. Shhhhhhhhhh yet my exercise routines never make an impact though I should say I am still healthy. I dont really eat those fattening stuff. Basically some biscuits, fruit and plain water or sometimes tea. Yet I dont see any weight loss. I used to have 29 inches waist when I was in the hill resort. During those times I used to run alot. I have become laidback since then. Now I read that drinking more coffee and tea helps to avoid liver damage and I read somewhere coffee too helps to reduce heart disease. I never like coffee in my life. I always avoid coffee. Let this article I come across help to tell a healthy story

Study finds coffee reduces liver risk
Sun Dec 4, 8:53 AM ET

Coffee and tea may reduce the risk of serious liver damage in people who drink alcohol too much, are overweight, or have too much iron in the blood, researchers reported on Sunday.
The study of nearly 10,000 people showed that those who drank more than two cups of coffee or tea per day developed chronic liver disease at half the rate of those who drank less than one cup each day.
The study, conducted by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases and Social & Scientific Systems, Inc., found that coffee provided no protection to people at risk of liver disease from other causes, such as viral infections.
"While it is too soon to encourage patients to increase their coffee and tea intake, the findings of our study potentially offer people at high-risk for developing chronic liver disease a practical way to decrease that risk," said Dr. Constance Ruhl, who helped lead the study.
"In addition, we hope the findings will offer guidance to researchers who are studying liver disease progression."
Writing in the American Gastroenterological Association journal Gastroenterology, Ruhl and colleagues said caffeine seemed to hold the key.
They analyzed the records of 9,849 participants in a government survey whose coffee and tea intake was evaluated and who were followed for about 19 years.
