Today, the two most important articles of enjoyment are coffee and black tea, which play a very important role in the lives of many people. However, few people are aware of its exact effects.
Short-term positive and negative effects
The caffeine in them has a stimulating effect on the vascular and respiratory centers, activates blood circulation and metabolism, promotes the work of the cerebral cortex. On the other hand, it causes nervousness and excitement, lowers the pain threshold, and impairs mental activities coordination and precision, diuretic. Caffeinated drinks therefore cause an initial invigorating feeling, but at the same time, their most dangerous effect is on our ability to perform.
Long-term negative effects
Due to the invigorating phase, the body can suppress the feeling of fatigue for many years. Instead of listening to our body and resting and recharging our cells, we nervously - but with much less efficiency - go through the necessary relaxation.
What can we replace our morning, "wake-up" coffee with? Nature offers several possibilities for this:
a glass of water empty or with a teaspoon of s alt solution (it doesn't taste much either) | |
a sun bath naked in the light of the rising sun | |
fresh air breathing exercises | |
30 second cold arm bath |
The latter method was already called morning coffee in the time of the famous "water doctor" - Sebastian Kneipp. Fill a suitable-sized container - or the sink - with enough cold water so that if we put both arms together in front of us, the water level is 4 fingers below our armpits. Keep your arms folded in front of you for 30 seconds in the cold water. Pull the water off your arm by hand. Don't delete it! Warm up the "kneipped" part of the body with intense arm movements or a warm woolen hoodie and start the day fresh.
If you want to take some invigorating, invigorating drink with you during the day, then let's make a delicious mental lemonade as follows. Mix 300 grams of fresh mint leaves with 1.5 liters of cold water, 2-3 organic lemon slices and approx.with 200 grams of honey, then filter. The resulting fresh, green drink is a popular soft drink at every garden party.
