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
it
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
more
and like you said i need to know there
is more close to me
or i get upset
