Green Tea, Ginger & Freshwater Swims

  • 2 min read
Hello Booyah Drinkers!
 

Welcome back to another edition of the Booyah Buzz. Upcoming for the Booyah team this weekend is filming a heap of content with founder and CEO: Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist Lisa Driver to get down into some more intricate answers of gut health, probiotics and myth busting around our industry. 
Hope you're all doing great and loving the summer weather! 
 
  1. Green Tea

Green tea contains caffeine, though generally less than coffee and black tea. An 8-ounce (240 ml) cup of green tea typically has about 20-45 milligrams of caffeine, depending on factors like the tea's variety, preparation method, and steeping time. This amount provides a mild boost in alertness and energy, without the jitteriness or crash often associated with higher caffeine beverages. Green tea's moderate caffeine content, combined with L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes relaxation, can offer a balanced stimulant effect that supports focus and mental clarity.

  1. Ginger

As you know, we clean and juice our ginger raw from the roots ourselves at Booyah. You may have noticed that most roots of ginger you find in supermarkets are
bulky and often quite watery. We source the best roots we can from Ugandan soil. 
These ginger roots often show a blue hue on the inside indicating their freshness and potency. Juicing ginger at Booyah HQ is so strong, it's often an eye watering process for the brewer that day!

  1. Freshwater Swims

Where we are at Booyah in the Hastings / St Leonards-on-sea area, it's notorious for poor water quality in the sea unfortunately. REALLY frustrating for a lot of the local community who love to enjoy sea swimming. That being said freshwater swims can be a cleaner and fun alternative. Often less polluted, stable in temperature and calmer water.
Check The Rivers Trust website to potentially find a nice freshwater swim spot near you for a dip!

 

HEALTH HACK

Salty Hydration
Sodium is vital for hydration. In the foods I eat theres not much salt in anything. When eating mostly whole foods, adding salt needs to be a conscious effort in order to stay hydrated. Especially is you exercise; the more you sweat, the more sodium you lose. Put it back in with your food!
