Hi!
You all know that I’m not one to forego my morning cup of coffee.
It is a staple in my morning routine and I look forward to the flavor and the caffeine that wakes me up each morning. It is especially important to me since I have insomnia most nights and can rarely fall asleep earlier than midnight. BUT…that said, I am going to try and tackle a new challenge this upcoming month…
I’m going to try to make the switch from coffee to green tea!
According to Natural News, green tea naturally contains caffeine. It’s not nearly as much as a cup of coffee, so it will reduce my caffeine intake by about 70%, which I think will help regulate my energy levels throughout the day. I started doing some research about the goodness of green tea and I found some facts that got me really excited to make the switch. Read them below—you just might be tempted to take the green tea challenge along with me...
- Green tea has tons of antioxidants.
- Green tea boosts your metabolism.
Livestrong reports that green tea can increase your 24-hour energy levels while burning fat at the same time. So, if you can’t make it to the gym one day, sip some green tea and reap the benefits.
- Green tea gives your skin a glow.
Those antioxidants that also help you fight off diseases will also fight off free radicals that cause skin damage and cause breakouts, according to LaurenConrad.com. This means that brewing a cup of green tea will help to calm your skin if it’s that time of the month or if you are recovering from a bad sunburn!
How could you not want a cup of this miracle tea after reading those fun facts?! Do you drink green tea? Will you take my challenge and make the switch from coffee to green tea?
Get your glow on!
xoxo,
Sharlene
