Healing with Tea

Want to think straighter or breathe easier so that you will be happier? It is easy, just that the next time you need caffeine fix, opt for tea rather than coffee.

Tea creates a state of relaxed alertness, which seems to me like an oxymoronic term but is actually true as it is the only plant that contains both brain stimulants and muscle relaxants! What that meant is that it makes us think straighter!

We may not know that tea also contains the amino acid, L-theanine that wakes the part of our brain that deals with wellbeing, and inhibits the part that causes anxiety, in short, we will be happier!

Besides, the chemicals in tea stimulate the lungs, helping us breathe deeply and take in more oxygen to the brain. That also explains why sitting down with a cuppa helps us take a step back and get our priorities in order.
