Maté Messi: discover Lionel Messi's favorite drink

In the world of football, Lionel Messi is a true legend . Considered one of the best players of all time, Messi is also known for his life choices and personal preferences . Among these, we find his favorite drink : Maté .

In this article we invite you to discover this South American drink and learn more about its connection with the famous footballer .

What is Mate?

Mate

Mate is a traditional drink originating from South America , specifically regions like Argentina , Paraguay and Uruguay . It is prepared from the dried and crushed leaves of mate holly (Ilex paraguariensis). Mate has been consumed for centuries and is an integral part of the culture of these regions.

The properties and benefits of Mate

Mate is appreciated for its stimulating properties, thanks to its caffeine content . However, unlike coffee, the caffeine in Mate is released more gradually, which helps avoid unwanted effects such as palpitations or sleep disturbances. Additionally, Mate also contains antioxidants , vitamins and minerals , making it a beneficial health drink.

Mate in the life of Lionel Messi

Messi and mate
Lionel Messi , of Argentine origin , grew up in a culture where Mate is a popular and commonly consumed drink . Throughout his career, Messi has often been spotted enjoying a calabash of Maté, whether during training , matches or in his daily life . His passion for this drink has attracted the attention of the media and his fans around the world.

Messi’s Mate ritual

Like many Maté lovers , Lionel Messi has also adopted the ritual of preparing and tasting this drink. It uses a calabash , a traditional container shaped like a small cup, and a bombilla , a metal filter straw. Messi prepares his Mate by pouring hot water over the Mate leaves in the gourd, then he uses the bombilla to drink the drink.

The impact of Maté on Messi's performance

Messi and mate

Although Mate is often associated with its stimulating properties , it is important to note that everyone reacts differently to caffeine . For Messi , Mate can represent a source of energy and concentration during matches and training . However, it is worth pointing out that other factors, such as Messi's intensive training , nutrition and overall lifestyle , also contribute to his exceptional performances on the pitch.

To finish...

Excellent, mate has allowed me to reduce smoking and perhaps soon to stop. By drinking this mate, it reduces the lack of nicotine but above all it makes me sick of cigarettes!
