One thing about me: I’m an outside person. For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved backpacking, hiking, kayaking, camping, and basically anything that involves being out in nature. Even during the winter when temps drop and most people head into hibernation mode, I’ve found that continuing to find ways to get outside plays a major role in my mental health—which is why as soon as the excitement of the holidays died down this year, I was itching to take a winter getaway. It wasn’t long before I was scrolling TikTok (isn’t that where everyone gets their travel inspo?),…

The corners of my mouth and my energy levels have always perked up with my morning cup of coffee—yet there’s one caffeinated competitor that bears more robust mood-boosting potential. It’s none other than green tea, which isn’t only among the best drinks for longevity but also a tried-and-true staple in the Blue Zone of Okinawa, where natives tend to live longer than most others on the planet. “Scientifically, there are bioactives in green tea that keep the mind focused yet serene,” shares Maggie Moon, MS, RD, a brain health nutrition expert and the best-selling author of The MIND Diet. “It’s not…
