Don\u2019t talk to me until I\u2019ve had my morning coffee. Yep, we\u2019ve all heard it. That caffeine boost<\/a> from black coffee<\/a> is what many college students and working professionals rely on to lift them out of their morning mood. But what about caffeine-rich black tea? Only one in five American adults drink tea on any given day. Are there added benefits to steep instead of brew? <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is coffee good for you?<\/b><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

This popular choice of morning joe has received a bad rap over the years. It\u2019s been blamed for boosting your odds of developing heart disease, yellowing your teeth and stunting your growth. Though a tinted grin may be true, recent research suggests drinking three to five cups of coffee a day could actually lengthen your life. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black coffee benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the obvious energy boost, black coffee also contains antioxidants, magnesium and potassium, little warriors that help fight sickness and reduce your sweet tooth cravings (hello, weight loss!).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your java not only helps kickstart your daily routine, sipping a mug each day has been proven to decrease your chance of developing a number of health issues later on in life, like Parkinson\u2019s, Alzheimer\u2019s and Type II diabetes. Caffeine also aids in preventing prostate cancer in men, endometrial cancer in women and basal cell carcinoma, the most common type of skin cancer. Everybody wins!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much caffeine is in coffee?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There’s 95 milligrams of caffeine in one eight ounce cup of black coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is black coffee good for weight loss?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Black coffee won’t increase the rate of weight loss, but the caffeine does decrease your appetite, which may be beneficial if you are trying to lose weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is black tea good for you?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you sip a spot of tea, you\u2019re benefiting from much more than its energy boost and cozy warmth. Black tea contains polyphenols, which are antioxidants that help block toxic chemicals from entering your body. These polyphenols kill bacteria-causing plaque, lower the chance of ovarian cancer (drink up, ladies!), and build strong bones. Black tea also contains alkylamine antigens and tannins, big words that translate into a fortified immune system that can fight off viruses like the flu and defend against gastric and intestinal illnesses. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of black tea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As for the energy boost you\u2019re looking for? Black tea not only helps you relax and concentrate better, it\u2019s lower amount of caffeine content (compared to black coffee) enhances blood flow to the brain without over-stimulating the heart. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much caffeine is in black tea?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There’s 47 milligrams of caffeine in one eight ounce cup of black tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black tea vs coffee<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both black coffee and black tea are calorie-free (if you skip the cream and sugar) and packed with antioxidants, but if you\u2019re looking for an extra pep in your morning step, grab for the grounds. An 8-ounce cup of coffee contains about 85 milligrams of caffeine compared to 40 milligrams in a cup of tea. But if it\u2019s 3 o\u2019clock in the afternoon or you want to fight off that bug flowing around the office, you\u2019ll want to stick to your tea leaves.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
