A member asked:
What are the benefits of drinking plain tea or coffee? does green tea offer more health benefits than other types or are they about equal healthwise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tea/Theanine: There is a component in tea called theanine that relaxes a person and at the same time sharpens his or her focus. It's not the same for herbal teas even though i'm sure many of them are good as well. Try green tea, or even a bit better, white tea. Green tea helps boost immunity and burn fat minimally because it is a metabolism booster. Peace and good health.
