Health Benefits of Tea and Coffee


Overall, the research shows that coffee is far more healthful than it is harmful," says Tomas DePaulis, PhD, research scientist at Vanderbilt University's Institute for Coffee Studies, which conducts its own medical research and tracks coffee studies from around the world. "For most people, very little bad comes from drinking it, but a lot of good."

Consider this: At least six studies indicate that people who drink coffee on a regular basis are up to 80% less likely to develop Parkinson's, with three showing the more they drink, the lower the risk. Other research shows that compared to not drinking coffee, at least two cups daily can translate to an 80% drop in liver cirrhosis risk, and nearly half the risk of gallstones.

Coffee even offsets some of the damage caused by other vices, some research indicates. "People who smoke and are heavy drinkers have less heart disease and liver damage when they regularly consume large amounts of coffee compared to those who don't," says DePaulis.

Indeed, the brain responds to coffee in a unique way. The extra alertness can often help to focus, concentrate and even remember details at a higher rate.

Coffee also aids workers to concentrate. 200mg of caffeine can significantly reduce the tendency towards sleepiness and convert grogginess to alertness and concentration. In fact, coffee usually helps workers for at least 5-7 hours which can help out for the entire shift.

Also, many workers will find themselves feeling especially groggy after lunch. This is also an efficient time to drink coffee because attention, memory and concentration are most likely a part of the job. There are also studies that have shown that people who drink coffee over the lunch hour are more contented and more interested in their work, as well as more alert. However, it is also important that addiction to coffee can eventually increase the rate of irritability.

It is also important to consider what is necessary to perform at your best. Coffee can actually increase information processing by 10%. This is especially important for repetitive work. Coffee can also help to deal with the problem of headaches.

Tea is Better than Coffee


It's never too late to make your daily cup tea instead of coffee. Your body, mind, and spirit are thirsting for it. And when you commit to drinking several cups of tea each day you'll be nursed back to the kind of health God intended for you to have.

For your body, the health benefits of tea are becoming well-known, and they're many. Tea will ward off major diseases like heart disease and diabetes.

And tea will stop tooth decay and even keep your mouth clean so there's no more bad breath. For this reason it's truly a social drink, meant to be shared by friends close to one another. Try talking over coffee and you'll need to keep your distance.

Your mind is also begging you to switch from coffee to tea, and to do it soon. You yearn to be stimulated without the stress, to be awake and aware and yet calmed and soothed at the same time. Tea can do that. Coffee never will.

If you rely on coffee in the morning to get you going, you're going to rise to a peak, granted, but only in the beginning. After as short as just a week or two you'll only maintain baseline and nevermore get extra energy. And you'll crash hard halfway through the day. Tea won't do that.
Coffee typically fuels the Western or American Angst, a skeptical outlook devoid of faith but heavy on the alarm. Many Americans would rather base their views of the world on being shocked with disbelief, driven by coffee, than on being amazed with the trustworthy assurance of tea.

Therefore tea is a spiritual blessing, while coffee is little more than a curse. Tea is morally pure while coffee is of dubious merit. Tea is indeed the Tree of Life, while coffee is--you guessed it--the forbidden fruit.

So get yourself some tea. Do it today. Start with it and see how it goes. Compare it to the coffee that's been ruining your life. See how much better it is. You'll want to stick with the tea, making a total commitment. And you'll thank yourself again and again.

Replace Your Coffee with Tea


You need to switch, as does everyone else, from coffee to tea. However, you need to also let tea replace alcohol and tobacco for you. In fact, the only drugs you should take in addition to tea are those prescribed by a professional.

Coffee is powerfully addictive with its highs and subsequent free-falls in energy. It even causes an immediate spike and crash in blood sugar that makes its drinker want more caffeine within just minutes of having some.

Tobacco is a stimulant in moderation not unlike coffee that has its caffeine. However, as soon as you cross the threshold with tobacco by having a little too much, it offers escape since it becomes a mild pain killer. It's thus useful for little more than promoting itself to you in addiction.

Alcohol is well-known as a depressant. But it does seem to excite people who drink it, especially in smaller amounts, since it lowers their inhibitions and they feel liberated with their behavior for a while. There's no freedom in its powerful addictive grip, though.

Tea is technically also going to be addictive. Nevertheless, there's a big difference between tea and its competition. Tea is the only good and healthy habit among them.

Coffee is the bane of the stress junky. It does give an exhilarating shot of adrenaline but it jacks up levels of unwanted chemicals in the system too, like cortisol the stress hormone. Decades of that can take years off your life.

Tobacco and alcohol cause major diseases. They thoroughly ruin many lives and end them too soon. Tea has prolonged the lives of millions of people.

So make the switch from coffee to tea, and give up the smoking and drinking of alcohol while you're at it. Tea can replace all those. It's a lot easier to get healthy in spirit and mind when your body isn't sick anymore.
