I have been drinking a tea called Yerba Mate for about a year now. When I get home and I am really tired, stressed out, out of energy, and unable to work I drink it. I drink it like millions do in South America. I fill up a hollowed out gourd with tea leaves, insert a metal straw, and pour hot water in the gourd. I keep sipping the tea through a metal straw and adding hot water for about fifteen minutes.
After drinking the Yerba Mate I feel rejuvenated. I am no longer tired or stressed out, and I become very productive and I get lost of work done.
These are the main benefits of Yerba Mate:
It is extremely healthy:
According to a study, Yerba Mate contains almost all of the vitamins and minerals needed to sustain life. Not only does it contain very healthy nutrients but is very safe to drink as well. Drinking Yerba Mate is about as dangerous as drinking coffee. If you have heart problems dont overdue it, but other than that it is in no way toxic.
It provides an energy boost:
Yerba Mate does NOT contain caffiene. It has a similar chemical called Matiene. It will make you feel awake and focussed, but it is not jittery like caffiene. Its more like waking up from a power nap. It does not tend to interfere with sleep schedules.
It aids in weight loss:
Yerba Mate is a very powerfull tool in losing weight. It does four things to help you lose weight. It will surpress your appetite. It will not stop you from eating as much as you would like to, but you will be less hungry and it is much easier to stick to a diet. It increases our rate of metabolism. This means It will increase the speed in which you digest food, and less food will be converted into fat. It provides energy and makes you more active. You are more likely to be actively doing something with more energy and you will be burning more calories this way. It is a very mild laxative. While you will feel much more relaxed, you will also have more bowel movements. This causes you to instantly lose weight.
It helps productivity:
I find that Yerba Mate is the ultimate laziness cure. After drinking it I use the energy boost to clean up the house, wash some dishes, do some work, or do anything else that needs doing. For some reason I feel very motivated to do something productive after drinking yerba mate. I can quickly and efectively do my homework with ease. Most offices use coffee to increase productivity, but Yerba Mate is healthier, and it works much better. Try bringing it to work.
It is definately worth trying. You may not like the tase at first. Some people think of it as an aquired taste. Try adding sugar, mint leaves, a lemon or orange slice, or other flavors to improve the taste if you want. I drink it straight up without sugar like a man though. It is NOT a drug, unless you think tea or coffee is a drug. People in South America have been drinking it for centuries and call it "la bebida de los dios" or "the drink of the gods" due to the fact that a drink this perfect must have been put here by the gods.
