Coffee vs Tea-
The reasons why a cup of coffee a day is better than a cup of tea.

Specific goal: I would like the audience to believe that a cup of coffee a day is better than a cup of tea. (wajib ade goal yer..=P)


Few things in life can make a person truly happy, and for every individual, the thing that really pushes their buttons is different. For some, it’s rewarding career. For others, it’s a dedicated family life. For Lorellai Gilmore in Gilmore Girls, Rory can make her happy, and also, a cup of black coffee every morning in Luke’s cafĂ©. (ok haida, sy jugak tidak tau dr mana sy mndpt idea psl nie. Haha) Like I’ve said just now, everyone’s different. But I believe that there are few things that Lorellai, you and me have in common, coffee! The alluring aroma of steaming hot coffee just brewed from freshly roasted beans can dray sleepers from bed and pedestrians into cafes. That is the power of coffee. I love coffee so much more than tea, as much as most of us love to see Usher than Michael Jackson. (perlukah sy membandingkn [kulit] mereka? Ish ish.) I cannot start the day without my ritual injection of coffee. (wakaka) Despite of this, I’m well aware of all the health risks associated with coffee. For this reason, I’ve tried to restrict myself to the recommended limit of a cup per day. I’ve read a lot of books and done so many researches on the link between health and coffee. (cewah. Konon..hahaha) At last, my curiosity has helped me to find that they are good news for coffee drinkers. It turns out that it is not all doom and gloom for coffee lovers. So, today, I would like to tell you why a cup of coffee a day is better than a cup of tea.

Coffee can calm you down and keep you awake for a long time.

a. based on a study at Harvard Uni. Of Public Health, caffeine in coffee will calm people down. This study has shown that drinking a cup of coffee a day can relieve tension headaches rather than a cup of tea, which is less effective.
b. according to a study by a team from the International Islamic University of Malaysia, coffee may entertain you through times of painful boredom, as well as support you when trapped in high–pressure deadline situations. This actually seems to confirm my true experience. I believe that coffee is our ‘best friend’ as a student, especially when it comes to final week and the deadline of the assignment.
c. Besides that, in a study published in American Journal of Epidemiologist, a cup of coffee can keep you awake for a long time. It was proven that caffeine in a cup of coffee can keep you awaken for at least five hours, while a cup of tea can keep you awaken for only two hours. The study has discovered a new function of a protein in humans that intensifies the caffeine kick.
So, as a student, a cup of coffee a day is better than a cup of tea because coffee is more effective to calm you down and keep you awake for a long time.

Coffee can be the fountain of youth for adult.

a. the Italian study that had been done to a group of more than 4000 elderly people found that coffee could be the fountain of youth for adult, especially when it comes to memory and mental functioning well into old age. It shows that elderly women who were frequent lifetime coffee drinkers performed better than tea drinkers on memory tests involving words, shapes, calculation and category tests in which they named as many animals as they could in one minute.
b. Dr. Marilyn Johnson said. “we all experience a decline in mental functioning once we hit 60, but the good news is that a cup of coffee per day may counteract this process”.
Maybe this is the reason why Lorellai Gilmore prefers coffee so much than tea!

Coffee can protect you against some diseases.

a. probably the best kept-secret about coffee is that it delivers more antioxidant than tea. In fact, coffee has four times the antioxidant content than green tea. The health benefits of antioxidant are abroad. Antioxidant is a substance in some food including coffee that mop up damaged body cells and protects it from cancer.
b. Moreover, chlorogenic acid in coffee bean has been proven to cut the risk of liver cancer by 80%, than 50% for tea. Japanese researcher, Professor Ichiro Tsuji said in his report that people who drink a cup of coffee a day are less likely to develop liver cancer than those who do not.
c. Other than that, three studies that had been published in Medical Journal of Neurology reveal strong links between coffee and tea intake and the risks of Parkinson’s disease. People who drink a cup of coffee a day are 60% to 80% less likely to develop Parkinson’s, compared to tea, which is only 30% to 50%.
Overall, the researches show that coffee is more healthful than it is harmful.

(disclaimer:semua fakta ini diambil dr sumber2 trtntu yg sudah tidak ingt. Better check by urself 1st. jgn saman saya kalau tidak berkesan kpd anda. hahaha)

Conclusion:

In short, the three reasons why a cup of coffee a day is better than a cup of tea are because, firstly, coffee can calm you down and keep you awake for a long time, secondly, coffee can be the fountain of youth for adult and finally, coffee can protect you against some diseases. Compared to tea, coffee has its power over the senses. Being able to have the opportunity to love coffee is a gift.(wakakaka. Lawak kot yani. haha) Drinking it regularly I must admit is a talent. (xthn okk..wakaka) But again, for a better health, limiting coffee for a cup each day does have its advantages. Personally, I think, like many other health issues, there are always shades of grey. If you ate nothing but carrots, you could die of Vitamin A poisoning after all. (xtergelak kah sy masa memberi ucapan ini? Haha) While deciding which blend you should try today, think about what it will bring upon your senses. I suggest a dark, thick texture, or just a light temptation of smooth silky coffee to sparkle your mind. (tegagap ok part nie. Haha) Because of the superb taste of coffee and all of the advantages, I don’t think you would ask, “Why a cup of coffee a day is better than a cup of tea?” again. So, drink up! And feel the power of coffee, just like the proverb from Turkey. “Coffee should be black as hell, strong as death, and sweet as love”. (mcm..tahpaper.. xtaula dapat dr mana sume2 ni. haha)
