Coffee’s bad, huh. Well, what about tea? Not the stuff in plastic bottles, but freshly brewed DIY tea from loose leaves or genuine paper bags (not the plastic sachets they are foisting on us). Can we drink tea?
EXCERPT: Tea often gets a better rap than coffee for two main reasons. Firstly (and this point would be more important IMO) is that tea contains significantly less caffeine than coffee (refer to chart). Secondly, tea boast many nutritional benefits. Green, black or oolong tea all come from the Camellia sinensis plant and contain polyphenols, antioxidants, boost metabolism, and may even prevent bone loss. Note that caffeine is caffeine, and despite the benefits- all I write still applies (to a smaller degree) to caffeinated teas.

NOOOOOOO! 🤣 I love 🍺 and

I don’t have the strength of character to give up caffeine. I love coffee and tea.
It's going to catch up with you when you reach your 60s. Tremors, lower than normal bone density. But hey, live in the moment as they say, right?
Too late! I’m way older than that and have excellent bone density. Sorry to disappoint you, lol.
Apology accepted....
