Tea
It doesn't matter whether it's green or black. Natural tea reduces the risk of cancer, heart disease and blood vessels, helps reduce cholesterol levels and excess weight.

Coffee
It is no less healthy than tea, but only if consumed correctly. If you drink coffee on an empty stomach, the production of gastric juice will increase, heartburn and nausea may occur.
If you have irritable bowel syndrome or ulcers, you should not drink coffee on an empty stomach at all.
