Tea is the most popular and the most beloved beverage consumed by Indians. However, for every Indian, tea is something more than that. It’s a morning ritual. The day of an Indian does not start until he or she has sipped hot tea. Its warmth, gentle aroma, and freshness make it unforgettable in the morning. In this blog, we will explore 5 reasons you should not skip tea in the morning.
Gentle Caffaine kick
Tea contains a small quantity of caffeine, which is just enough to give your brain a gentle boost. Tea can help you regain your focus, alertness, and energy after a full night’s sleep. Tea contains an amino acid called L-theanine that works well with caffeine to enhance mental clarity and keep you calm. This caffeine kick gives your brain some energy and makes you mentally ready for the day.
Boosts digestion
Tea plays an active role in keeping the digestive system healthy. After a long night’s sleep, your metabolism slows. A cup of tea can stimulate the digestive system and “wake up” your gut. Tea can also flush out toxins in the digestive tract that might have accumulated overnight, promoting regular cleansing. People who have a sluggish digestion or feel bloated must try tea in the morning!
Gives morning hydration
After a full night’s sleep, your body wakes up in a state of mild dehydration. A cup of tea in the morning can be a great way of getting hydrated. While water is the ultimate drink for when you’re thirsty, tea can provide health benefits and antioxidants. Tea is both light and soothing. It provides a mild stimulation to the body with fewer calories making it the best drink to have in the morning.
Mood lifter and stress reducer
Tea does the work of calming the mind and waking up the senses making it the natural mood booster at the start of the day. It gives a calm soothing experience before the rush of the day starts offering a break before the busy part of the day starts. L theanine that was mentioned earlier, promotes relaxation and leads the brain to a calm but alert state.
Cultural and emotional connection
In India, tea is not a drink. Its an emotion. It has a magical way of bringing people together. In Indian households, the day does not start with the sound of the alarm clock but starts with a sip of hot tea. In morning, tea serves as a way of bringing the family together and connect before the day unfolds. In India tea carries a special connection between mind, body and soul.
People who do not consume tea miss out on a fresh morning start. Skipping tea in the morning is like skipping out on life entirely. With a boost of freshness, health benefits and the way it connects people, tea is an indispensable part of morning routine that must be religiously followed by every Indian.
