Benefits-antioxidant+refreshing

First of all, tea and coffee have antioxidant effects and can delay human aging. Tea polyphenols in tea not only have antioxidant capacity, but also have pharmacological effects such as anti-tumor, anti-radiation, anti-hyperlipidemia, prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis, anti-virus and so on.

Chlorogenic acid is the main antioxidant in coffee, which not only has antioxidant effect, but also has the functions of protecting liver, benefiting gallbladder, lowering blood pressure and reducing blood fat.

Disadvantages-leading to related physical diseases

Tea contains a lot of oxalic acid, which easily reacts with calcium excreted in urine to generate calcium oxalate, thus causing urinary calculi. At the same time, tea trees will be sprayed with pesticides in the growth process, and pesticides are easy to remain on the surface of tea leaves, and untreated tea leaves are easy to carry residual pesticides.

Therefore, tea washing is a necessary procedure before drinking tea, and there is also a saying in life that "don't drink the first sip of tea". Drinking tea on an empty stomach can also lead to dizziness, palpitation and trance.

Coffee contains a diterpenoid compound, which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. At the same time, acrylamide will be produced during coffee baking, and large doses of acrylamide have been proved to be carcinogenic in animal experiments.
