However, it is important to remember that coffee is far from the bad guy, okay? After all, anything that is consumed beyond what is necessary can be harmful in some way – and many studies also prove the benefit of coffee. What happens is that the amount of caffeine present in coffee is higher than most natural energy drinks and there are other components that can give us energy besides caffeine. Not to mention the fact that energy teas have several benefits, such as stress relief 🙂
Ah, remember that teas are like “remedies”, cause effects, may have contraindications and overuse will do harm in the same way. It’s a tip: always drink the drinks listed here in the morning, when you wake up. When energy teas are consumed at night, they can cause insomnia.
