Spring may have sprung, but even so, it still is pretty cold outside. Why not warm up with a mug of coffee or hot chocolate? Or, go for some tea, which can provide health benefits — especially green tea.
Green tea seems to have more health cachet than black tea, according to a 2007 article in the journal Life Sciences, perhaps because it has been the focus of more research. Although not as well studied as green tea, black tea probably is at least as beneficial, says Hasan Mukhtar, vice chair of dermatology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who drinks two cups of black tea and two of green a day.
