“I’m going to make myself a coffee”, we hear this phrase at least every day from coffee lovers. This drink which helps keep the feeling of fatigue aside is not to everyone's taste. Many people do not like the strong and bitter taste of coffee. In this case, what can you do to combat sluggishness when you don't drink this caffeinated drink? Answer, with these few drinks boosts.
Replacing coffee with tea won't work
Before any possible confusion, theine does not replace caffeine. If you were planning to make yourself some tea to wake you up, it's a failure. Although theine and caffeine come from the same molecule, the alkaloid, known to fight fatigue, its mode of action differs from drinks. A cup of coffee naturally contains up to three times more of this molecule than a cup of tea. While caffeine stimulates very quickly and keeps you awake, theine stimulates more gently and over a longer period of time, up to 6 hours. For the “boost”, we will favor these few drinks, which we present to you.
