Daily Fit Tip: Switch to tea

You've probably heard that coffee has no calories. This claim is true -- for the most part. Some people drink their coffee black. Others, like myself, need a little something to make it less bitter, such as some cream (or milk) and sugar. But those add extra calories, sometimes a significant amount. In addition, reviews about coffee are mixed. It has been linked to miscarriages, high blood pressure and anxiety, among others, and though many of these claims are not strongly proven, it sometimes seems like it would be better to just give it up than worry about the potential risks.

So maybe we would all be a bit better off if we switched to tea? Tea has a number of benefits and, unlike coffee, I can drink tea without sugar or milk. Green tea in particular has a great reputation, and is purported to be a great source of antioxidants, which can help defy the aging process.
