Coffee vs.

Tea: Is One
Healthier Than the Other?
Coffee’s energy-boosting effect

The caffeine in coffee elevates your energy levels.

Caffeine increases alertness and reduces fatigue by increasing

dopamine levels and blocking adenosine .

Dopamine is the chemical messenger responsible for the jittery

effect of coffee, as it increases your heart rate. It also affects your
brain’s reward system, which adds to coffee’s addictive properties.

On the other hand, adenosine has a sleep-promoting effect. Thus,

by blocking it, caffeine reduces your feelings of tiredness.What’s
more, coffee’s effect on your energy levels happens almost
immediately.

Once ingested, your body absorbs 99% of its caffeine within 45

minutes, but peak blood concentrations appear as early as 15
minutes after ingestion .This is why many people prefer a cup of
coffee when they need an immediate energy boost.

Tea’s effect on energy

Though tea is lower in caffeine, it’s rich in L-theanine, a powerful

antioxidant that also stimulates your brain Unlike caffeine, L-
theanine may provide anti-stress effects by increasing your brain’s
alpha waves, which help you calm down and relax .

This counteracts the arousing effect of caffeine and gives you a

relaxed but alert mental state without feeling drowsy.

Studies have found that consuming L-theanine along with caffeine

— as in tea — may help you maintain your alertness, focus,
attention, and sharpness This combination may be the reason why
tea gives you a soothing and more smooth energy boost than
coffee.

Books vs Movies
(Are Books Better Than Movies?)
Books have been around for thousands of years and have helped us learn, relax or have
kept us entertained for generations. Movies on the other hand, despite being a lot more
modern have gained huge popularity in the last couple of decades. 

Why Are Books Better Than Movies?

There’s a couple of very valid reasons why books are better than movies. Here’s the most
important ones. 

1. Books Give the Reader a More Complex Experience

Let’s think about it: how long does it take to read a book and how
long does it take to watch a movie? Clearly, books will keep you
entertained for a lot more time. While most movies will be over in
two hours or less, you can enjoy a book for several days depending
on how much time you spend reading.

This gives you more time to absorb the story, to fall in love with
the characters, creating the story more real, getting you more
involved and allowing you to appreciate it better. Not to mention
that the author’s writing style, the descriptions and metaphors
considerably spice up the experience.

2. Books Encourage Readers to Let Their Imagination Fill in the

Gaps 

They allow the reader to imagine what the characters look like,
how they sound, where the action takes place. Visualizing is a big
part of the reading experience and plays a huge role in our mental
development. 

Being able to create your own image of each character, imagining

what they sound like makes reading a book a much more personal
experience than watching a movie. Our own interpretation
becomes our mental property and is unique for each and every
one of us. Movies just aren’t the same.

Are Movies Better Than Books?

It might seem like a completely pointless question at this point
considering all the amazing information we presented above about
books. 

While the general consensus is that books are always better than
films, like with anything else, there are exceptions. There are
instances where certain movies are better than books, as you will
see further below. Watching a movie is never better than reading a
book though.
Movies do have their advantages though, and some adaptations
are actually done with great respect and love for the book that
started it all. 

Why Are Movies Better Than Books?

First, let’s agree that some movies are pieces of art. Not all movies
are commercial productions meant to bring in as much cash as
possible. Creating a movie is as much of an artistic act as it is to
write a book. And there are instances where the movie creators
were better artists than the writers of the books the movies were
based on.

Movies do come with certain advantages for the ones who are
enjoying them and there’s a reason why they are so popular
nowadays. While it’s definitely not something that happens very
often, here’s why movies are better than books sometimes. 

1. It Takes Less Time to Watch a Movie Than to Read a Book

We’re all living busy lives and we know how precious our free time
is. With movies lasting around 90-120 minutes, they are a much
quicker way of exploring a story than reading the book. 

While it’s clearly not the best way to do it, whenever you need to
quickly find out what a book is about, watching a movie is a bit
more useful and more fun than reading the book summary online. 

2. Movies Are More Visually Stimulating

For those of us who lack imagination, movies can turn out to be

much more pleasant experiences than reading a book. Imagination
levels vary from one person to another and while some of us can
create vivid images in our thoughts while reading, others are
having a hard time visualizing anything other than bland images.
For those with lower imagination levels, movies do the work for
them. There’s no need to imagine what a character might look like
when he’s portrayed by an actor on a screen in front of you.
