New Year Resolution for a Healthier Life with Tea

In just a few hours 2016 will be over and the New Year celebrations will begin. A grand welcome to the year 2017 and with this new day comes the time to make new promises to ourselves and our loved ones.

Almost every one of us makes New Year resolutions. So what are the top resolutions this year? Options vary from person to person and it depends on the preference of the individual, whether he or she wants to overcome a bad habit or/and form a new habit.

Whatever be the preference and however good the intentions are from the start, research suggests only 8 percent of us stick to them. That figure may be grim, but take solace in this: Those who make resolutions are 10 times more likely to change their behavior than those who don’t.

A lot of resolutions are focused on not to do the things anymore- like quit smoking, eat healthier food by quitting junk food – or point out personal failings, like being disorganized or unable to manage your time well. While it’s always worth making changes in your life, why not focus on things you want to do more of?

Let’s make this New Year resolution special by doing something unusual this 2017!!!

But what would that be? And how would we do that?

It’s simple – ‘Become a Tea Lover this new year.’

Yes, adding a splash of tea in your life can make your New Year resolutions stronger. Let’s find out how it can be done.

1. Hit the gym and Lose your weight

“I’m going to go to the gym three times a week, all year and shed those extra pounds of my body,” If this is one of your new year resolutions then you seriously need a plan, patience and strength to achieve this task. A proper diet plan with an exercise regimen is a must for this resolution to be a success.

Many of us start out like a thunder but eventually end up doing nothing, thereby breaking the resolution. We need to be focused on the “losing weight phenomenon” because with focus comes energy to survive this journey.

Add a cup of tea, green tea especially if you want to lose weight and become fit. The constituents in green tea are responsible for fastening the fat burning process in the body and moreover the antioxidants present in green tea helps to prevent various forms of cancer in the body. Green tea is said to have multiple benefits aprt from losing weight.

2. Saying NO to junk food

Is your New Year resolution – “Say no to junk foods?” If yes, you are at the right place. Replacing sugary beverages with unsweetened teas can cut a lot of calories, and tea is full of antioxidants and can help support your immune system.

There are various forms of tea such as green tea, oolong tea and black tea, which can be replaced with the dangerously artificial sweetened beverage which we consume often. If you can go raw, it’s fine to replace the craving of sweetened beverages with a cup of green tea or oolong tea but if you are not a tea person, you can make yourself some ice tea or some similar kind of tea drinks which would be much more beneficial than drinking the sugary drinks.

Some researches show that once you have started to drink healthy, you automate yourself to eat healthy all of a sudden. The feeling of being healthy automatically circulates into your mind and difference occurs.

So, what are waiting for? Start drinking some tea this New Year…

3. Get up early every morning

You want to quit being lazy and get up every morning as early as possible but have been unsuccessful every time. This is one of the most difficult things to do in the kind of lifestyle we live in where- in we have excess of stress, lesser time to carry out our works and much more.

Waking up early has its own benefits, and one very significant benefit of waking up early is reduced stress level. When you rise early, it eliminates the need to rush in the morning. You can then start your day on an optimistic note and such positivity often stays with you throughout the day.

Have a strong cup of tea this morning of year 2017 as soon as you get up and feel fresh. The caffeine present in the tea acts as a mental stimulant which immediately activates your brain and makes your mind alert.

4. Staying healthy this new year

This would be one of our top priorities every new year and with increasing awareness on health, people have started to follow a healthy life style. One of the most important steps which you can take this New Year is by eating and drinking healthy.

“Take time for tea and start drinking this miraculous elixir.”

Drinking tea, especially green tea can improve your cholesterol ratio, as well as help protect against cancer and bacterial infections. The benefits go far beyond refreshment. There is plenty of research showing that drinking tea can actually improve your health and studies have shown teas can help protect your teeth and your heart, as well as possibly even helping to stave off cancer.

5. No stress this new year!!!

Stress has a nasty way of creeping into our daily lives and playing havoc with our health and our emotions. When we’re overstressed, we suddenly have less patience for those around us. We’re irritable, and sometimes even angry. Our health begins to suffer as we catch more colds, the flu and infections. Headaches become commonplace as do tummy troubles. We’re tired and anxious. Stress can suck the health and the happiness right out of our lives.

So, how can a cup of tea help us fighting stress?

When you’re feeling frazzled, a cup of tea can soothe those ragged nerves – and with good reason. The research on the many health-boosting powers of tea shows that not only does a daily cup of tea boost your immune system, reduce inflammation and even keep your memory sharp. Some of the herbal teas are considered as the best stress busters around the world.

Don’t let stress rule your life! Learn to say no to stress and anxiety and begin to really enjoy your life and work once again. Beat your stress this New Year with a magical cup of tea!!!

6. A promise to spend time with your family and friends this year

Most of us are caught up in a hectic whirlwind of activities which start on Monday morning, end on Sunday night and then begin all over again. Time slips by as we rush to complete urgent tasks and are not able to give time to family and friends.

If your New Year resolution is to spend some quality time with your loved ones, then you need to have a plan. You can solve this over a small cup of tea with you loved one by chit-chatting with them or inviting over your friends over a tea party.

“Get all the refreshness back in your life by adding a small cup of tea in your life this New Year.”

7. Quit Drinking

It’s amazing how many adults — the vast majority — believes that alcohol is key to having a good time despite knowing all the side effects of being an alcoholic. Being a non-drinker is the healthiest decision you can ever make in your life.

If your ultimate decision this New Year is to quit drinking, then you are on the right page. You can quit drinking by putting some efforts and really sticking on to your resolution. This may be difficult but not impossible. There are various herbs which can be taken in the form of a “Herbal Tea” in order to counter the attack of alcohol cravings.  One of the most effective herbal cures for alcohol cravings is Kuzdu herb. Kuzdu is a wild vine which contains a chemical compound called daidzin and this chemical reduces alcohol cravings. There are some other herbs too such as St John’s wart which helps to reduce stress.

“Stop drinking this New Year with the herb infused teas.”

Although making the New Year resolution seems interesting and fun at first but it takes a lot of courage and patience to move forward with the resolution. Here are a few steps which would help you to stick to your resolution and be a success.

• Just pick one thing at a time and concentrate on it. If you want to change your life or your lifestyle don’t try to change the whole thing at once. It won’t work. Instead pick one area of your life to change to begin with.
• To ensure success you need to research the change you’re making and plan ahead so you have the resources available when you need them.
• Pick s start date and go for it. On the big day go for it 100%. Make a commitment and write it down on a card.
• When you feel discouraged, remind yourself how much you’ve accomplished in the past. Define a baseline level of wellness that you’ll be able to commit to and sustain over the course of your lifetime.

And yes apart from all of these..

Don’t forget to reward yourself with a cup of tea this New Year, 2017

Happy New Year Folks!!!
