MATCHA GREEN TEA 抹茶 🍵
(Camellia sinensis)

Took me awhile to appreciate it, but after a couple of years living in the Land of the Rising Sun, I’ve learnt to enjoy the richness and bitterness of green tea.

Although it’s a source of caffeine, it doesn’t quite stimulate you like coffee does. It, however, wakes you up in a refreshing way, all thanks to L-Theanine (an amino acid found in matcha).

There is a term “zest and zen” describing the effects of matcha on consumption, giving reason to why it’s revered by monks to be incorporated in meditative practices.

Boasting an umami taste, it’s high antioxidant content intrigued me to attempt to having it as my daily staple. I’m still working on it 😂

What’s your daily staple/ must have to get your day going?

Feeling blue in winter? Lacking motivation during winter? Digestive problems acting up in the cold weather?

Maybe we need to start thinking about your Vitamin D levels.

Vitamin D is readily created endogenously through UVB rays from the sun, despite UVB also being responsible for causing sunburns 😅

But during winter, your skin is exposed less to the sun from all the winter wear, reducing the chance for your body to create Vitamin D.

Vitamin D, aside from being the sunshine vitamin, is also the “feel-good vitamin”, by helping the management of moods.

Vitamin D is a partner to calcium to reduce risk of osteoporosis, but it is equally important for gut health, too, to achieve a healthy, balanced gut microflora population.

“How do I manage if I’m deficient/ having the symptoms of deficiency?”
There are many ways, including dietary and supplementary methods.
