Coffee Versus Tea

Who will win the ongoing war?

Coffee Versus Tea
1World Online

It has been argued incessantly for ages about whether it's better to drink a cup of coffee or tea in the morning. They both have positive and negative aspects that accompany them, so it really just depends on you as a person and what you find important.

Many people that choose to drink coffee over tea make that decision because they want the quick boost of energy that coffee gives. However, tea can give a boost of energy as well. Since a cup of coffee has double the caffeine as a cup of tea, you usually feel the energy boost a lot sooner than you do with a cup of tea, but the energy from tea will stay with you throughout the day, unlike coffee. Coffee is known to have a "rise and fall" effect; you get super hyper and feel like you could take over the world, and then before you know it you're ready for it to be bedtime. Tea doesn't just avoid this "crash" but it can also do a beneficial job at sharpening your mind.

When it comes to keeping your teeth pretty and white, neither tea or coffee are number one winners. Although, you are better off with one rather than the other. The natural pigments in tea are more likely to ruin tooth enamel than coffee is. So if your number one priority is keeping that smile pretty, you might want to cut down on the tea.

If you're someone who has trouble falling asleep at night, it would be beneficial to consider the amount of coffee you're drinking. Although the effect you feel throughout the day is the same with coffee and tea, it's a big difference when you lay down to go to sleep at night. People who drink tea in the morning were found to sleep more peacefully than people who drink coffee.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
