I want to talk about substituting our standard drinks for healthier beverages, like tea. Tea contains ⅓ of the caffeine that coffee does and is great for a pick-me-up. However, it also contains compounds that regulate the caffeine which prevents the crash following coffee’s caffeine high. Teas also contain antioxidants, green tea, for example, is known to reduce the risk of breast cancer and improve liver health. A healthy liver translates into more balanced hormones.
Unfortunately, most commercial teas are filled with refined sweeteners, including the organic teas containing agave syrup. The problem is that sweet drinks raise blood sugar and ultimately cause weight gain. Many people drink organically sweetened teas in between meals when there is no fat or protein to attenuate the sugar rush. Once the sugar rush ends, these drinks leave you hungry. My suggestion is for people to ditch the sweetened teas and stick with the unsweetened variety, which gives you the coveted caffeine stimulation and an antioxidant boost without the crash.
