When you have a cup of tea take time to sip and enjoy it.
Not only does this do wonders for stress by helping you relax and be mindful, but it also helps with nutrient absorption.
You know when you guzzle a glass of water you get that feeling that it has gone right through you? Well, in a way it does. Your body does not get the full hydration from water when you drink a large amount quickly; the same applies for tea. When tea is drank quickly it does not absorb as well as if sipped slowly, and remember not to drink it to hot but warm to enjoy the full flavor. Asian cultures also believe that this keeps the fire in the belly going properly (metabolism).
Give yourself a tea time out today!
