Liven up your mornings with a cup

What if the secret to recovering your energy is not in a capsule or in a academy? Sometimes, everything starts with something very simple as soon as the water flows, you are sure and a moment of pause.

Neste chapter, let's show you How a prepared chá bem can change the rhythm of your day. It's not just about drinking something healthy, it's about creating a ritual that gives you clarity, focus and readiness.

Start your day with natural energy

Few things are as powerful as a small, intentional habit. Making a cup of tea every morning may seem like a simple gesture, but it's a silent invitation to reconnect with yourself.

Today I bring you three natural infusions that go far beyond flavor. Each has been used for centuries to energize the body, calm the mind, or stimulate the digestive system. And the best part: you can make them at home with ingredients you may already have in your kitchen.

Revitalizing ginger and turmeric tea

This golden blend is a true gem for those looking to combat physical and mental fatigue. Ginger stimulates circulation and awakens the senses, while turmeric acts as a natural anti-inflammatory and mood lifter.

How to prepare it:

• 1 cup of water
• 1 slice of fresh ginger
• ½ teaspoon turmeric powder (or grated fresh turmeric)
• Juice of half a lemon (optional)
• Honey to taste

Boil the water with the ginger for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, add the turmeric, and mix well. Add the lemon and honey just before serving.

Advantages:

• Improves circulation and reduces muscle fatigue.
• It acts as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.
• Stimulates the immune system.

Disadvantages:

• It is not recommended excessively for people with active gastritis.
• It can stain utensils if not cleaned properly.

Ideal for starting the day off right, especially when it's cold or you feel sluggish upon waking.

Adaptogenic ginseng and cinnamon tea

If your fatigue has emotional or mental roots—that exhaustion without an apparent physical cause—ginseng may be your best ally. It's considered an adaptogen, meaning it helps the body adapt to stress.

Cinnamon, in addition to providing flavor and warmth, improves circulation and stabilizes blood sugar levels, preventing sudden energy drops.

How to prepare it:

• 1 cup of water
• 1 teaspoon dried ginseng root (or 1 sachet)
• 1 cinnamon stick or ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• Honey (optional)

Boil the ginseng for 10 minutes. Add the cinnamon in the last 3 minutes. Strain, sweeten, and drink slowly.

Advantages:

• Helps improve concentration and focus.
• Reduces the impact of stress on the nervous system.
• Improves physical performance without overexciting.

Disadvantages:

• Not recommended for hypertensive patients without medical supervision.
• May interfere with anti-anxiety or antidepressant medications.

Perfect for mid-morning or before a busy workday.

Digestive tea with rosemary and lemon

Slow digestion can drag the entire body toward fatigue. Rosemary is a Mediterranean herb with mild stimulating properties and positive effects on digestion, the mind, and circulation.

Combined with fresh lemon, this tea becomes a light, refreshing and cleansing toner that gives you mental clarity and physical lightness.

How to prepare it:

• 1 cup of water
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves (or 2 fresh sprigs)
• Juice of half a lemon
• Grated lemon peel (optional)

Boil the rosemary for 5 minutes, then let it steep for 3 more. Add the lemon juice and zest just before drinking.

Advantages:

• Stimulates digestion and reduces bloating.
• Refreshes the mind and relieves post-meal heaviness.
• Provides natural antioxidants.

Disadvantages:

• It should not be consumed in large quantities during pregnancy.
• Intense flavor, not suitable for all palates.

Excellent to take after meals or when you feel like your energy is “stuck.”
