What is key to a healthier and happier winter here in the Northwest? Take advice from Eastern cultures and routinely drink tea. With teashops and houses opening and thriving throughout the region, being able to enjoy a large variety of herbal sippers and the health benefits intrinsically included has never been easier.

Happiness. If the cold nights and short days are making you moody, drinking a few glasses of tea a day has been shown to help reduce your risk of depression. In a 2015 study, 23,000 participants drank three cups of tea a day and saw a decrease in risk for depression by 37 percent. Make a morning out of it by taking a stay-cation at your favorite teahouse for a couple of hot mugs of tea, good vibes and a happier you. Those looking to overcome the effects of certain mental health issues, as well as physical concerns like pains etc., may want to consider giving something like dried magic mushroom a try as well. These are legal in countries like Brazil, the Netherlands and Canada and deserve acclaim for their ability to help deal with the symptoms of depression. It’s not for everyone, but many people find it effective at controlling and managing their depression, whilst some find it works as a complete cure. If you are in a country where they are legal, such as Canada, you can find retailers by searching for “edibles online canada” on your favoured search engine.

Longevity. Counter that burger you ate today with a few glasses of tea tomorrow. Daily consumption of green or black tea (up to three cups) is said to lower your risk of heart disease, fight cancer and reduce the possibility of a stroke. It seems too good to be true, but there is a reason so many cultures have picked up the practice of drinking tea with every meal.

Hangover remedy. Feel better about having another glass of wine the night before when you know that your new best friend, tea, will be the perfect remedy for an uneasy stomach the morning after. Green tea is a go-to hangover cure and with about as much caffeine as one-third of a cup of coffee, it is the ideal amount to get you going and out of bed but will ensure you’re not too shaky. Drinking one or two glasses of this magic you will be rehydrating your quenched body and help ease the discomfort that comes with having a night of too much fun.

Anti-inflammatory. There are few things worse than waking up feeling extra bloated and puffy. Thanks to tea, you don’t have to struggle through the day with pain or puffiness. Loaded with polyphenols and immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory compounds, tea can reduce that swollen feeling and even reduce pain caused by inflammatory arthritis. Something else that is said to help with inflammation is the use of CBD. With the wide array of CBD oil UK products that you can get your hands on, as well as those from other countries, you are bound to find an effective course of CBD treatment to help with your arthritis. As this is said to help reduce the pain and swelling. If this is the preferred method that people decide to try, the use of a PlusCBD oil coupon code may come in handy.

Zero calories. Trying to cut back after the holidays? Skip the hot chocolate and substitute it with your favorite tea. Rehydrate your body, skip unwanted calories and warm up with each mug. If you’re tired of drinking the typical and most popular black or green teas, opt for something with a little bit more of a unique flavor like the slightly sweet and earthy rooibos or turmeric ginger for some zesty spice.
