You feel stressed and are looking for healthy solution? Did you know that tea is a great beverage to help you reduce stress?
From centuries, tea is popular not only to quench the thirst but also for its relaxing and invigorating qualities. In today’s hectic lifestyle, tea breaks are one of the most efficient methods to improve mood and relieve stress. The traditional calming effects of the plant Camellia Sinensis have elevated the drink to a role beyond just an ordinary drink. Tea is now consumed as an aid for meditation, to help soothe the nerves or relax the mind.
Why is it particularly important in those difficult times?
At the present times, when COVID-19 outbreak generated stress, anxiety and isolation, we should give our physical and mental health a good care. And we know that mental health problems have risen significantly in the past few months. Now as offices start to open and life is slowly getting back on track, it is clear that our life will not be the same as before. One thing that can help you make a proper balance at home or at work is as simple as sipping a cup of tea.
How does Tea help reducing stress?
Tea is known for many benefits and reducing stress is one of them. Tea catechins — antioxidants such as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and the amino acid L-theanine makes people feel calmer. Those antioxidants, when consumed in combination with caffeine, also improve memory, attention, alertness, cognition and your overall mood. Sipping a warm cup of tea in the morning or during your office breaks, is a great way to cope with stressful situations and improve your efficiency. Many studies show that certain flavors and herbs in tea have specific properties that target specifically fatigue, mental health and stress.
Which Tea or flavor should I choose?
