Tea Not Coffee – Why You Need to Make the Switch
You need to replace coffee with tea because of one thing: stress. Not only is it a pain to be stressed-out all the time, you’ll also live longer if you can start to make those difficult times easy now.
When you drink the straight caffeine in coffee, you experience the stress response as a result. Also known as the fight-or-flight response, it prepares you to either battle or run to save your life.
When you replace your coffee with tea, you’re getting a drink that has L-theanine paired with the caffeine. Found only in tea, the theanine is why tea causes the opposite effect: the relaxation response.
The caffeine in coffee floods your body with the stress hormone cortisol. That’s a toxic chemical and is never good for you except when you need superhero functioning in the most dire of emergencies. And that only happens occasionally.
If you don’t lower cortisol levels and experience more relaxation now, you could end up with ongoing chronic stress. That’s what eventually takes years off your life, and in the present causes lots of trouble for your body and mind.
Chronic stress does this to the body:
–headaches
–backaches
–stomach trouble
–high blood pressure
And chronic stress does this to the mind:
–depression
–anxiety
–anger
–insomnia
If you’ve drunk coffee for a long time, you’re likely stressed even if you haven’t yet become aware of it. Tea is the key to your recovery. It’s going to relax you as the foundation of a healthy diet.
Start to treat yourself better and choose tea. You’re worth it. Drinking coffee is punishing yourself if you do it regularly. Drink tea and reward yourself for the beautiful person you really are.
Teaternity means ‘tea foreverlasting.’
