We are living in a very unique time, where uncertainty can take the best out of us at times, but if there’s one thing that can make everything better during this time that’s Matcha tea.
The pandemic has been a roller coaster of emotions, and both your mind and your body are aware of it.
Pandemic weight gain is a thing! Due to COVID restrictions, most people’s everyday routines changed completely.
Working from home also meant snacking more, moving your body less, not going to the gym, and with everything that was going on (and still is), taking care of their weight just wasn’t a priority for some people.
All of these changes mixed with fear and uncertainty also led to a high increase in stress and anxiety levels.
With all that being said, 2021 is the year to incorporate healthier habits into our lives and transform those lockdown side effects for the better.
Matcha tea is a simple and incredibly effective way to reduce post-pandemic weight and stress and to start living a healthier life.
