Numerous doctors around the world have been recommending green tea as a substitute for coffee. In fact for years now I have done the same, but when I found out about matcha green tea and started the Living Qi Company I got really excited about people substituting matcha green tea for coffee. And here is why:
1. The caffeine in coffee spikes your adrenaline and cortisol levels causing a crash afterwards. There is much less caffeine in matcha and it is released slowly into the bloodstream so that adrenaline and cortisol are not spiked. So we say that matcha has the “healthy” caffeine: which means caffeine in an easy to break down form. I can sleep after I drink matcha.
2. Coffee does not help people lose weight while matcha has been shown to increase fat burning by 17%.
3. Coffee has not been shown to affect cancer, while green tea is one of the most well researched herbs in the world for cancer prevention.
4. Coffee usually gives people the coffee jitters, while matcha has a calming and relaxing affect.
5. Coffee is highly addictive because of the adrenaline and cortisol spike while matcha is not.
6. Coffee has not been shown to detoxify the liver while matcha is a powerful liver detoxificant.
7. Coffee has not been shown to help skin conditions, while matcha is helpful for acne and can clear skin conditions.
8. Coffee has never been used anywhere in the world to benefit meditation and relaxation while matcha has been used for 800 years by Zen Buddhist monks to deepen meditation and increase focus and concentration.
So why wait to make the ultimate coffee substitute and begin drinking the beverage that has all these amazing health benefits. After I found matcha 2 years ago, it is all I drink every day.

These 7 actions can quickly increase your energy and change your mental state from negative to positive:
1. Take 15 deep breaths
Deep breathing immediately dilates the blood vessels and puts the body in a relaxed state while oxygentating the blood stream has an energizing effect.
2. Drink 5 full glasses of water
I have been recently experimenting with deeper hydration and I can attest that drinking much more water than you thought possible has an amazing energizing effect. The body’s hydro-electric system and circulatory system will love you for it. When I wake up I drink at least 5 glasses on an empty stomach and I have much more energy for my 5 mile jog/walk than when I do not do this. I learned this from an amazing book called: Your Body’s Many Cries For Water. This is hard to get used to and some patients tell me that they cannot get down more than one glass, but it takes some practice.
3. Walk Briskly for 10 minutes
Even just a short 10 minute walk can completely change your mental state, get your blood pumping and increase your energy. The results are even better if you can get into nature.
4. Tell someone you love them
Think of someone you deeply care about, whether family member or friend and make a 10 minute phone call to tell them how much you love and appreciate them, it will give you a deep satisfaction and instant vitality.
5. Dance to your favorite song
Put on your favorite tune and let yourself rock out, lately I have been enjoying my Michael Jackson.
6. Forgive someone from your past
Take a few minutes to think of someone from the past that you can forgive. As soon as you realize you can release any negative thoughts about them you will feel much lighter and full of energy.
7. Whisk up a hot cup of matcha
As you know by now, matcha green tea is energizing and relaxing at the same time, helps you burn fat, lowers high blood pressure and gives you an immediate and deepened sense of focus and concentration.
As you work with these 7 tips I also recommend you combine them all to radically increase your sense of positivity and peace in the world.
