Start the Day with a Yerba Mate Drink

All those who are concerned about what they consume for their health know to be concerned when it comes to beverages, too. Most on the market seem healthy, but are not. Certainly, there is a lot of healthy-or-not advice out there, to the point where all that’s left to drink is water! But there are other great tasting beverages available. Previously untapped sources, like the Amazon rainforest, are alive with health-giving, nutritious plants that are pretty tasty too. Yerba Mate tea provides the basis for an excellent drink. What are the health benefits of starting the day with an adaptogenic Yerba Mate drink instead of coffee or soda? There are a great many benefits because yerba Mate is a beverage powerhouse. It has all the physical, mental, and social benefits of coffee, tea, and chocolate.

It’s as strong as coffee

Coffee is enjoyed in the mornings because of the high caffeine content, which makes many feel more awake and energetic. Too much, however, and it can leave a jittery feeling. A good quality yerba mate drink can energize without leaving the burnout feeling at the end, especially when the same care and attention has gone into the other ingredients in the drink.  Drinking it in the morning can be a booster, and for those avoiding sugar, drinking yerba mate in the morning may help train the body to burn fat for fuel.

It’s as healthy as tea

Green tea is known to be full of antioxidants, amino acids, and healthy vitamins, and so a yerba mate drink stimulates the brain and mental systems as much as the physical body. Yerba Mate has anti-inflammatory properties, and it may also promote weight loss. Consuming a healthier beverage is an excellent idea, especially when all the extra sugars are left out.

And it’s as great as chocolate

Yerba Mate leaves also contain theobromine, the healthy part of chocolate, which makes it a joy to consume and a very great beverage to share with others also. In fact, traditionally, yerba mate tea is a drink to share and be social with, and that has physical and mental benefits as well.

Yerba Mate tea drinks are finding their way into other beverages as an ingredient to be shared and enjoyed. It can be a bit boring just drinking water all the time, but one can’t always be sure of the health benefits of sports drinks, or even juices. For anyone looking for a drink with naturally-occurring vitamins and minerals, and without artificial sugars or flavors, then try an adaptogenic Yerba Mate drink that pays attention to its ingredients. After all, the health benefits of not consuming sugars, and artificial flavors are what really matters.

Try a Yerba Mate drink with real ingredients sourced from the Amazon rainforest. Not only are these beverages good for you and delicious, but they also give back to the community they come from by providing jobs for the communities and sustenance for the land itself.
