Benefits Of Drinking Coffee And Tea
By Masni Rizal Mansor
It seems as though every week a new articles surfaces about the pros and cons of drinking either or tea. One week caffeine is a mortal enemy, the next a tolerable friend. Likewise, green tea surfaces as a miracle cure all, only to fade to a questionable metabolic stimulant. If you enjoy either or tea, here are some things to consider.
According to an article released last year by ABC News, Study: Drinking Has Health Benefits, is America's number one source of antioxidants, the agents that help protect you from toxins, starve off cancer and heart disease. But what about the barrage of information about the negative effects of caffeine that surface along side articles like this one from ABC News? Even this article from ABC points out that caffeine does in fact raise your blood pressure. So is tea a better source of antioxidants, since it contains less caffeine?

Many studies have mentioned that decaf offers just as many antioxidants as regular coffee, which removes any negative effects brought on by caffeine.
When it comes down to it, drinking or tea can be mutually beneficially in moderation. If you prefer drinking over tea, consider drinking less to limit your intake of caffeine, or switch to decaf.
