This tea will help you focus better than coffee

Coffee is far from the only drink that energizes and increases alertness. In some parts of South America, for example, mate tea is popular.

Mate is an herbal tea made from the leaves and stems of the evergreen shrub Ilex paraguariensis. According to a nutritionist, studies show that drinking one liter of mate per day can significantly reduce blood sugar and LDL cholesterol levels in people with type 2 diabetes. However, more research is needed.

In addition, mate has a stimulating effect. This is partly due to the fact that this drink contains caffeine. While the caffeine content in a cup of coffee is about 80 mg, the amount of caffeine in a cup of mate can vary from 25 to 175 mg.
