For centuries,tea has been ud for far more than overcoming thirst.Around the world people drink it to relax and restore energy.
Green,oolong and black tea come from the same plant — Camellia sinensis（茶树）.Green tea,however,is procesd in a different way,which results in higher levels of some of the compounds that scientists believe have positive effects on our mental health.
A 2017 review of more than 100 studies found that green tea can impact the brain in three ways：reduce anxiety；focus attention；and improve brain function,especially memory.However,it was cautioned that the effects aren't large,and current evidence is mainly provided by small-scale studies.
There are also suggestions that tea could improve the symptoms of depression,dementia（痴呆）and Down syndrome （唐氏综合征）.
A 2018 study conducted in South Korea found that frequent green tea drinkers were 21% less likely to develop depression than tho who were non-drinkers.However,as an obrvational study,it couldn't establish cau and effect,only association.
Tea also has some benefits for our physical health — it's linked to a longer life,could reduce some risk factors for cardiovascular（心血管的） dia such as heart attack and stroke,and may also have a weight-losing effect.
"We need better data to truly asss the benefits of tea on our mental and physical well-being," said Gunter Kuhnle at the University of Reading,"however,with the exception of green tea pills,which have been linked to liver damage,and burning tea,which has been linked to esophageal几多是什么意思（食道的）cancer,there's no real downside to a cup of tea.I think most people enjoy rituals（仪式感）.It's a comforting thing.If there's anything wrong,here it's a cup of tea that's needed."

At first,I didn't recognize the symptoms that we all had in common.Friends mentioned that they were having trouble concentrating.It wasn't burnout — we still had energy.It wasn't depression —函的格式 we didn't feel hopeless.We just felt somewhat joyless and aimless.
It turns out there's a name for that：languishing.
Languishing is a n of inactivity and emptiness.It feels as if you're muddling（应付）through your days,looking at your life through a foggy windshield （挡风玻璃）.
In psychology,we think about mental health on a spectrum（范围）from depression to flourishing （精力旺盛）.Flourishing is the peak of well-being.Depression is the valley of ill-being.Languishing is the neglected middle child of mental health.It's the emptiness bet
ween depression and flourishing — the abnce of well-being.You're not functioning at full capacity.Languishing dulls your motivation,disrupts your ability to focus,and greatly increas the possibility that you'll cut back on work.
Part of the danger is that when you're languishing,you might not notice the dulling of delight or the decreasing of drive.You don't catch yourlf slipping slowly into aloneness；you're indifferent to your indifference.When you can't e your own suffering,you don't ek help or even do much to help yourlf.
So what can we do about it？People who became more focud on their work managed to avoid languishing.Interrupted attention is an enemy of engagement and excellence.To go beyond languishing,give yourlf some uninterrupted time.It clears out constant distractions（分心）and gives us the freedom to focus.And try starting with small wins by focusing on a challenge that matters to you - an interesting project,a worthwhile goal,or a meaningful conversation.
We still have a lot to learn about what caus languishing and how to cure it,but naming it
might be a first step.It could help to defog our vision,giving us a clearer window into what had been an unclear experience.It could remind us that we weren't alone：languishing is common and shared.
By acknowledging that so many of us are languishing,we can start giving voice to quiet despair and lighting a path out of the emptiness.
