Healing properties of mate — what is useful for mate, how to drink this drink

Pho­to: Beat­rice Murch

Mate is one of the old­est drinks on earth. In Indi­an cul­ture, mate was ele­vat­ed to a cult: it was believed that this drink cured var­i­ous dis­eases, strength­ened strength and vig­or, pro­longed life, and even replaced food for gau­cho shep­herds.

Today, sci­ence has con­firmed most of the heal­ing prop­er­ties of the unique drink. The thing is that mate con­tains 11 polyphe­nols with a pro­nounced antiox­i­dant effect, many vit­a­mins and most of the peri­od­ic table. Sci­en­tists not­ed that a plant with such a com­bi­na­tion of vital and use­ful ele­ments in its com­po­si­tion is very rare in nature.

• Mate is indis­pens­able in the treat­ment and pre­ven­tion of gas­troin­testi­nal dis­eases. It remark­ably con­tributes to the rapid heal­ing of dam­aged mucous tis­sues and gen­er­al­ly has a ben­e­fi­cial effect on the diges­tive sys­tem.
• The drink well tones and stim­u­lates the body, so it is indis­pens­able for peo­ple engaged in hard phys­i­cal and men­tal work. With reg­u­lar use of mate, the abil­i­ty to con­cen­trate and the body’s resis­tance are sig­nif­i­cant­ly improved. This is due to the inclu­sion of mateine ​​in the com­po­si­tion of the drink — a spe­cial sub­stance that serves as a safe ana­logue of caf­feine, which serves as a nat­ur­al stim­u­lant.
• Mate will help those who mon­i­tor their weight or are on a diet. The drink well dulls the feel­ing of hunger and reduces your desire to eat some­thing high-calo­rie and not very healthy.
• A good anti­de­pres­sant is also about the mat. It relieves insom­nia, makes sleep calm and deep and sig­nif­i­cant­ly improves mood dur­ing stress and depres­sion. In addi­tion, the drink is not addic­tive.
• Stim­u­la­tion of the immune sys­tem is also one of the func­tions of mate. With its reg­u­lar use, the nat­ur­al resis­tance of the body increas­es and the recov­ery process­es are accel­er­at­ed — there­fore, it is rec­om­mend­ed for con­va­les­cent peo­ple.
