Alcohol Awareness In Practice
If you don’t consume tea, it might be worth trying it out. Tea can be good for you physically, mentally and emotionally too. You can easily find various teas in your local grocery store, either packaged with individual tea bags for a convenient single serving option or you can buy loose leaf tea which allows you to use the amount you want, it is usually better quality, and it is more sustainable as well.
Teas that are good for you health include:

Tea also keeps you hydrated without added or unnecessary calories. You can experiment and combine teas to create different flavors and to enhance the overall benefits you get from tea. You can brew and sip at any time to help warm you up, or add ice for a refreshing beverage. Adding lemon, other fruits or honey can give it a nice touch as well.
The act of brewing, preparing and sipping tea promotes mindfulness. It can be calming and comforting, whether socializing with a friend or family, or sipping in solitude for your own self-care. It helps improve your mood, while also enhancing your focus and alertness.
If you have a hard time fitting in tea time for yourself, but still want the health benefits of tea, there are supplements you can take in the form of capsules, powders or liquid extracts. Pacifica Pharmacy offers green tea capsules.
Once you start, you’ll see, it’s not only good for your health, it can be fun and add to your beverage portfolio as well! Cheers!
