It seems social media is officially a platform to get the best general wellness formulas, even when it comes to celebrity chicks. Dua Lipa has an answer for that... All it took was a picture with a cup of matcha in her hand and people got the answer.

A cup of this drink in the morning is the solution to a well-being routine throughout the day.

If you can somehow overcome that peculiar and slightly bitter taste, at least know that matcha has many benefits for the body. A fantastic alternative according to nutritionist Lucy Miller that can replace coffee in the morning.

This drink contains about 70 milligrams of caffeine, compared to 120 milligrams of classic coffee, in addition to the fact that matcha improves concentration and energy levels throughout the day.

With an ingredient called L-theanine that prevents anxiety and nervousness, this type of drink is also fantastic for people who have problems with stress.

Nutritionist Lucy Miller tells Vogue that matcha is full of catechins, a natural antioxidant, plus it helps detoxify the body and can improve brain function. This drink also increases the levels of our happy hormones, serotonin and dopamine.
