Begin running 2â3 times per week gradually increasing the distance until you can run 3 miles continuously. Once you have achieved a 3 mile run gradually increase your intensity until you can complete the run in 24 minutes or less. One of your weekly runs should consist of hill, stair or interval training. Additionally you should do sets of pushups and sit ups 2â3 times per day focusing on full range of motion for each.
Or, if you are avoiding boba milk tea or tapioca pearls because of concerns about cancer, you can resume buying the drink. This âstudyâ simply does not warrant the kind of fear it has generated. There are, however, other health factors to keep in mind. Tapioca pearls contain mostly carbohydrates from starch and have little nutritional value. A cup of pearls contains 540 calories, so adding Â¼ cup of them to milk tea translates into an additional 135 calories. As with sugary drinks, consuming boba tea too often might undermine an otherwise healthy diet.
Tapioca is a starch that is used as a food thickener, perhaps most famously in pudding. The term is also used generically in some places to refer to other food thickeners, which can lead to some confusion. True tapioca is extracted from the cassava root, using a complex multi-step process that leaches out toxins in the root to get at the usable starch within.
