Why Switching to Tea Can Revolutionize Your Energy Levels

Most people think, "I couldn't be a tea person. I need more energy than that." While this is a popular viewpoint, it actually couldn't be further from the truth! Here are 3 reasons why you should consider adding tea to your daily routine if you're struggling with finding enough energy:

 

1) There Is More To Energy Than Just Caffeine

There is a difference between energy and stimulation. Think about energy like a bank account. Just like how you deposit money into a bank account, you can deposit energy into your body through healthy food, healing herbs, exercise, and restful sleep. However, just like how you can also withdraw money from a bank account, you can also withdraw energy from your body through stress, overstimulation, and lack of sleep. By taking a holistic approach to energy management, you can maintain sustainable levels of energy without relying on stimulating yourself with excessive caffeine to get through the day.

If you're looking to skip caffeine altogether, herbal blends are an excellent option. For example, An Elephant Never Forgets is an energizing herbal blend made with ginkgo biloba, an herb has been shown to boost attention and memory. Smooth Jazz is another herbal blend that can be great for energy, as it supports mood, memory and focus.

 

2) Too Much Caffeine Can Make You More Tired

Adrenal fatigue is a condition that occurs when your adrenal glands, which are responsible for producing hormones that regulate your body's response to stress, become overworked and exhausted. This can happen as a result of chronic stress, illness, or, you guessed it, excessive caffeine intake. When you guzzle down cup after cup of coffee all day, your body can go into a state of stress, releasing cortisol and other stress hormones to help you cope with the effects of the caffeine. Over time, this can lead to an overtaxing of the adrenal glands and a depletion of the hormones they produce.

What does adrenal fatigue feel like? One might describe it as feeling too tired to do anything but too wired to relax and rest. You feel irritable and anxious and even the simplest of tasks can feel like a monumental effort. You may even find yourself constantly craving sugary or salty snacks to try to get a quick burst of energy. 

Instead of coffee, lower caffeine teas like oolong or white tea are always great. Try our healing tea blends, such as Sleek and Slender, or Bulletproof Breakfast.

3) The L-Theanine Advantage: Why Tea Is Better Than Coffee For All-Day Energy

Drinking tea can help keep you alert, focused, and energized throughout the day, without the crash! Unlike coffee's caffeine that gives a fleeting burst of energy followed by jitters and nervousness, tea delivers a gradual and lasting source of energy, due to the presence of L-theanine. L-theanine is an amino acid that is abundant in tea that contains mental-enhancing, stress-reducing and focus-promoting properties.

All teas contain l-theanine, from green tea to black, white, oolong, and puehr. If you want a guide to the different levels of caffeine in tea, check out this blog.

 

By taking a holistic approach to energy management, you can deposit energy into your body through healing teas, and avoid the overstimulation and stress that often comes with coffee. So why not give tea a try and see how it can revolutionize your energy levels and overall well-being?
