There is a category of people who cannot stand coffee in principle, despite the fact that coffee is available to everyone and its benefits have been proven.
These people are content with alternative options, such as green tea, believing that it is even healthier than coffee.
We'll tell you if this is really true.
Green tea vs coffee
1. Foreign nutritionists call the caffeine content one of the main advantages of green tea.
In tea (with the same volume of drinks consumed) there is half as much of it.
2. Another fact not in favor of coffee is the habit of drinking it with cream, sugar, syrups or other additives, which increases the number of calories.
3. At the same time, green tea is in no way inferior to coffee in terms of antioxidant content, which fight arthritis, inflammation, improve heart condition, protect skin cells, improve mood and counteract the effects of stress.
4. At the same time, green tea helps reduce glucose and insulin levels.
Coffee vs. Tea
