do you want something to drink

sarah visits delsie’s house and they are

discussing their drinks

hello it is really nice to see you again

come in please hi thank you for inviting

me to your home

do you want something to drink yes thank

you

that would be nice can i have a cup of

lemon juice

yes sure is it not too much trouble

don’t worry i go shopping every day and

buy a lot of lemons

[Music]

is lemon juice your favorite

yes lemon juice is a very nice drink

and i frequently drink this to meet the

thirst and to get some nutrients

as well the preparation process

is so simple that you would be amazed at

there are some health benefits of this

juice and whenever i go out

i keep it with me in a bottle why don’t

you buy it at the market

well sometimes if i don’t have time to

make it

i will buy the juice from stores and it

is then known as lemonade

but those are found in the stores come

with too much addition of sugar

that’s true it is quite sweet so i try

to avoid them

but when i have no other ways or i

forget to bring the juice from my home

i need to buy a cup of lemonade

yes true lemon juice is very healthy for

our body

lemon juice is also beneficial for

digestion

and skin so this is a preferred drink

for people of all ages

particularly those who are cautious

about their health

don’t you have any problems with your

health

not at all i always try to keep my body

fit and healthy

i mostly drink it for hydration lemon

juice is also beneficial

for people suffering from the

insufficiency of vitamin c

oh that’s true besides

often patients with kidney stones are

also suggested

to drink this lemon juice to get rid of

the stones

when did you start drinking lemon juice

before drinking the lemon juice i was

addicted to different types of beverages

like cola drinks soda water etc

but i realized that none of those were

able to meet my thirst

they were filled with some flavors and

sugars only

this is really healthy easy to prepare

and preserve what about you

what do you like to drink my favorite

drink is diet coke

i love diet coke are you serious

yes but a couple of years ago i was

drinking only diet coke

and started to realize that that

probably was not the healthiest thing

for me to be drinking

so i switched to oolong tea

why did you choose oolong tea

so there are a couple of benefits one

benefit which is

i really like is that it absorbs the fat

or when you’re eating foods that are

high in fat and drinking it with oolong

for some reason it absorbs some of the

fat

so there have been studies that prove

that oolong tea does contribute to

weight loss

oh really i didn’t know that

that’s why if you go to a lot of chinese

restaurants

they’ll always serve tea with the meal

and most likely it’s oolong tea

because for some reason it absorbs fat

wow that’s cool plus

oolong tea also has antioxidants

which are cancer fighting and makes it

so much healthier

so it fights fat and cancer

don’t you drink other kinds of drinks

well in my research on the healthiest

drink i also found that green tea was

even healthier than oolong tea

so now i drink oolong tea green tea

and always a bit of diet coke

is green tea good for health they did a

study of green tea and found that people

who drink green tea lost

more weight than people who weren’t

drinking green tea so anything

that either absorbs fat and contributes

to weight loss

is a drink for me okay

but i thought green tea had a lot of

caffeine in it

so i thought actually that green tea was

maybe

not the best tea to be drinking

if you look at it on a scale of drinks

like tea and coffee

and green tea and oolong tea the drink

that has the least amount of caffeine is

actually green tea

and that is because it’s not processed

what do you mean so the leaves are just

dried then the next drink that has more

caffeine is oolong tea

because the leaves are semi-processed

after that the drink

that has more caffeine is coffee

actually

obviously everyone knows coffee has a

lot of caffeine

but the drink that has the most caffeine

is english tea

okay don’t you drink a lot of water

every day

yes i guess about three liters so six of

those

500 milliliters five or six of those

500 milliliter bottles

yeah that’s a lot that’s about what i

drink

yeah i think i’m addicted to water

i definitely am yeah

it’s my security blanket i must always

have a bottle of water nearby to drink

and you have a theory about why i always

feel like i get thirstier the more water

i drink

and do you have a theory about that

don’t you

yeah that’s right i think that the water

bottle people

somehow put a special chemical that

always makes you want to drink more

water

i agree yeah because haven’t you noticed

that if you drink water from a tap

from the sink you have a glass of water

you’re not thirsty after you finish the

glass but when you finish

a bottle of water you’re still thirsty

one bottle is not enough yeah definitely

a glass of tap water i would rarely

finish the glass

but a bottle of bottled water i need

and like you said i need to know there

is more close to me

or i get upset
