A few centuries ago, before tea and coffee drinking became widespread, we were a lot more healthy. Allergies were few - they are now widespread; eczema was almost unknown - now it is commonplace; cancer was a rarity - now it is almost the biggest killer in the West.
Co-incidence? Maybe.
I do not think that tea and coffee alone have led to the rise in disease today, but I feel sure it has played a part. I know we are living much longer now, but these diseases are catching a much greater proportion of people at a young age too.
Not only tea and coffee are bad for health - but also the milk and sugar which often accompany them.
So - a change to herbal teas would benefit us all.
Here I'll give some suggestions for teas which can usefully be introduced into your life. Keep half a dozen of them in the kitchen - then when you fancy a drink, choose an appropriate one.
If it eliminates your tea and coffee drinking, or reduces it by 50% or more - that will be a huge benefit for you.
