BENEFITS OF COFFEE VS TEA

SOME OF US ARE COFFEE DRINKERS OR TEA DRINKERS. I AM NOT REALLY A BIG COFFEE DRINKER, THE ONE CUP IN THE MORNING IS FINE. AND TEA WELL I WILL DRINK IT MORE WHEN I AM SICK , WITH LEMON. THE BOOST OF VITAMIN C.

SO WHY THE TALK ABOUT WHAT WE DRINK. WELL LIVING IN A CITY THAT IS FAMOUS FOR ITS COFFEEHOUSES I THOUGHT IT WAS INTERESTING AND I LIKE TO READ STUDIES AND THIS ONE APPEARED . SO I THOUGHT - EVERYONE DRINKS ONE OR THE OTHER, AND I WOULD SHARE THE INFORMATION.

MORNING BOOSTER

COFFEE IS FOR SOME THE BOOST THEY NEED TO START THE DAY, THE CAFFEINE IN A CUP OF COFFEE IS ABOUT DOUBLE THE AMOUNT , AS IN TEA.

DOWNSIDE IS IT CAN KEEP YOU AWAKE AT NIGHT SO YOU DONT GET ENOUGH SLEEP. TEA HAS THE OPPOSITE EFFECT HELPS ONE TO SLEEP LONGER AND LESS RESTLESS.

ALSO , IT NOTES TEA DRINKERS ARE MORE CALM AND LESS STRESSED. TEA IT SEEMS SOOTHES THE NERVES. COFFEE IT SEEMS HAS THE OPPOSITE EFFECT.

OF COURSE A COFFEE LOVER WILL PROBABLY NOT CARE , BUT THERE IS DECAFFEINATED COFFEES , SO THAT MIGHT BE A HELP.

PEARLY WHITE TEETH

COFFEE , TEA AND RED WINES ARE KNOWN TO STAIN YOUR TEETH. BUT IT SEEMS TEA OVER TIMES CHANGES THE COLOR TO A BROWNISH SHADE. REASON IS IT
STICKS TO THE ENAMEL AND LEAVES THE TEETH STAINED.
COFFEE NOT AS MUCH.

MIND MATTERS

THE TEA DRINKERS OF THE WORLD CAN BE HAPPY, TEA IS BENEFICIAL FOR THE MIND, 3 CUPS OF TEA A DAY DECREASES RISK OF DEPRESSION BY 37%.

A CUP OF COFFEE A DAY IS ALSO OKAY - AS IT CAN DECREASE THE RISK OF DEPRESSION BY 8%.

STAY HEALTHIER

TEA OR COFFEE IS GOOD ALSO FOR THE BODY. IT HELPS TO REGULATE THE BLOOD SUGARS AND DECREASES THE CHANCE OF DIABETES. ( AGAIN SUGARS OR SWEETENED COFFEES ARE MAYBE NOT GREAT)

CAN PROTECT THE HEART ALSO. TEA IT SEEMS IS BENEFICIAL AS IT PROTECTS

AGAINST DEVELOPING CANCERS - BECAUSE OF THE ANTIOXIDANTS.

SO OVERALL A CUP OF TEA OR COFFEE IS GREAT!

ONLY LIKE MOST THINGS IN MODERATION.

CAMOUFLAGE STYLES// Fashion, designer

SOMETHING DIFFERENT I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui , I was in AWE. Such vibrant prints that make a statement .

THE SWIRLS love this print and the colour combination . Vibrant and fun! A MOD- FLORAL this print that looks like a Sunflower is perfect for summer. JUST BLENDING IN CHECKERBOARD ANYONE? find out more about her work here Thandiwe via BBC images via Thandiwe Murui

I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person.
