After the holidays, we all ate too much sweets, rich and fatty foods, and maybe drank a few too many cocktails.
In addition, many of us were traveling or recovering from the inevitable colds and flu of the season.
All of this combined makes us feel tired, irritable, achy and often overweight.
So are we ready for a detox?
Doctor Dean Ornish recommends green tea and matcha as natural detoxifiers.
In fact, these drinks help eliminate excess triglycerides and bad cholesterol, cleanse the blood and improve the overall condition of the heart and liver.
Besides, green tea and matcha have a slimming rate 17% higher than other teas.

Studies show that we're actually more focused and productive when we take intentional breaks throughout the day.
Incorporating movement, meditation, and ritual into our workday in-between tasks can help us reset and give us a boost of needed energy.
Researchers like Sophia Cho recommend microbreaks of around 5-10 minutes at various times during the workday to stave off feelings of fatigue and to increase the opportunity for exercise and motion.
Especially if you work at a desk, microbreaks can help with
Brewing a cup of Matcha is an excellent way to give yourself a microbreak at home or at work.
The practice of making and enjoying Matcha takes about 5 to 10 minutes and encourages movement and mindfulness.
Consider the steps it takes to craft a cup of Matcha:
It's the perfect way to get away from your screens and be present in the moment.
The process of brewing Matcha takes skill and attention and allows your mind to rest and enjoy doing something by hand.
So, the next time you feel overwhelmed, restless, or find your mind wondering at work, consider refocusing your attention by preparing your favorite Matcha beverage at work. Just don't forget to bring enough for your coworkers!

After studying green tea at a biochemical level, a particular compound from Camelia Sinensis was discovered to be capable of suppressing the influenza virus and its associated symptoms.
Known as a catechin, the compound was found to exhibit characteristics that demonstrated antiviral activity.
Catechins are also active against other pathogens in the respiratory tract, which is a common infection site for influenza. They directly prevent infection by binding to glycoprotein spikes on the surface of viruses. This action renders the virus incapable of adsorption or binding to the receptors of host cells in the respiratory tract by destroying the protective mucus coating that lines it, therefore, deterring infection.
The most prominent catechin compound is epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), which was the main focus of Mikio Nakayama’s research against influenza viruses. Nakayama found that EGCG could inhibit agglutination (clumping effects) in two types of viruses, including Influenza A (the main cause of flu epidemics).
This prevents them from successfully attaching to host cells. Other catechins, such as Epigallocatechin (EGC) and Epicatechin-3-O-gallate (ECG), were used in similar experiments and displayed some capacity for anti-viral activity, but EGCG was found to be the most effective.
Alongside understanding the biochemistry behind green tea, a few studies provide insight into the use of green tea as a protective measure against influenza within communities.
Some studies examined the effects of gargling green tea in the elderly population, while others concentrated on its health benefits in children and high school students. In one study, gargling green tea or its ingredients was associated with a lower likelihood of infection than gargling water or placebo alternatives. In another study, 124 elderly volunteers who gargled catechin extract exhibited similar therapeutic effects, while 200 healthcare workers in a separate investigation demonstrated the same outcome and were protected against the Influenza A virus.
Thus, it is evident that EGCG and other tea catechins have been associated with protection against the influenza virus in humans.
Despite the potential application of tea catechins in antiviral protection, existing evidence does not verify green tea as an alternative to medical treatments. Annual vaccinations remain a viable defence option against the flu bug considering the high viral mutation rates that lead to re-emerging outbreaks of influenza and related pandemics, such as the 2009 Swine Flu outbreak.
