While there are several ways to combat stress, Sheldon Cooper knows that a beverage provides the comfort of a hug!

So let’s talk about how beverages can help you reduce your stress. When you make yourself a hot beverage such as tea, the entire process can be a soothing experience. The warm cup in your hands instantly allows you to take a pause, reflect and gives you a break from the stressful day. A cool drink on a warm day has a similar comforting effect. It provides you with instant refreshment and uplifted energy. It also gives you that satisfying feeling of a quenched thirst on a hot summer’s day.

3. Warm Milk or Warm Turmeric Milk

Many Indian families follow the tradition of drinking a glass of warm milk or turmeric milk every night before going to bed. Milk contains an amino acid called tryptophan, which gets converted into serotonin – a feel-good hormone. This not only improves your mood, but also calms you down. Turmeric milk is one of the best natural healthy drinks out there. It also has healing and anti-inflammatory benefits.

To make turmeric milk, boil one glass of milk and while the milk is warming up, add a half teaspoon of turmeric, 2-3 pods of cardamom, sugar or jaggery for sweetness, and 2-3 strands of saffron. 

4. Kahwa

Kahwa is a Kashmiri Tea, which is great for your health and is also an energy-boosting drink. It not only helps improve your mood and relax you, but also detoxifies your body, improves your heart health, and gives you a natural glow. To make Kahwa, boil a glass of water. To it, add cinnamon, cardamom pods, sweetener, saffron, and a few chopped almonds. Once it is boiled, drink it warm. 

Next time you are stressed, you know what to do. Make any of these drinks to calm yourself and feel energized instead. Give yourself a deep relaxation with a healthy beverage and combat any anxiety you may be feeling.
