It's been close to a year since I have been away from home. Feel compelled to share about the things I learned so far.
I will start with the food. Here, I am rediscovering things which I left earlier. Remember that food change can have very drastic effect on your mind and body in longer run.
It was a long time ago that I stopped drinking tea. More like my mom prohibited tea at home as she considered it was not good for health.
Contrary to that, a good cup of tea can be a great mood enhancer and can break the early morning sleep well. It's a lot better than drinking coffee as you can not possibly consume a cup worth of caffeine found in a coffee mug even when drinking 3-4 tea cups. Caffeine in larger quantities can prove to be a mortal danger to life. But people drink coffee as it works as a much more potent stimulant for the weary mind.
Now coming to the slightly bad effects of too much tea over time. Well, it can cause fluorosis. It's the yellowish brown coloration of teeth as one may have seen, particularly, in villages.
So, how do I prepare my tea ? General method is to boil the water and then pour it into a tea cup. Dunk the tea bags or if you got open tea leaves bag then just use a tea infuser. The trick is to not boil down the good herbal properties in tea by heating it with water at boiling temperature.
Before you throw away the tea bags, another cool thing that you can do is to massage your face with the tea bags (remember to squeeze out the water from the tea bags). It works as an anti inflammatory agent (extremely relaxing to the skin around eyes) and the little bit of caffeine in it can constrict the skin, a good remedy to remove the swollen skin beneath the eyes when you wake up. Acts as a moisturizer too and the caffeine can ward off UV rays too. Though, it's recommended that you use a good cream for UV protection
continued later... next part will contain the importance of butter (fats)
