Ever since that incident with the Boston Tea Party, Americans have always stuck to their trusty coffee. Most people won’t get out of bed without the promise of that soothing coffee that adds a lot of caffeine to the tired mind. However, next time that you reach for that coffee pot, think again.

Tea is one of the best drinks for your health. With a long history (over 5000 years), tea has been used as just a morning drink to medicine for serious treatments. All tea, whether green, black, oolong, or white all contain the same plant base, Camellia sinensis. This plant has many natural properties and compounds that are extremely beneficial to a person’s health.

Here are a few examples of the health benefits of drinking tea:

  • Drinking tea daily can help boost your metabolism. Green tea especially is beneficial to those who want to increase their metabolism and endurance during exercise. It is also thought to help prevent diabetes by helping the body to digest sugars.
  • Tea is also a natural stimulant, causing greater mental awareness, similar is the effects of caffeine.
  • Scientists are currently studying the effects of green tea on HIV patients. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a compound found in tea that may help prevent the HIV virus from progressing into AIDS.
The benefits are numerous, the drawbacks, almost non-existent. Replace tea with your coffee drink and experience the difference of a healthy life.
