If you’ve ever been told to substitute your coffee with tea to avoid caffeine or teeth stains but didn't take that piece of advice seriously, you were right. Many teas also contain caffeine and should be consumed sparingly. And tea also stains your teeth.

If you still want to switch from coffee to tea, better stick with herbal teas, which usually don't contain caffeine.

Recommended as a good way to get your vitamins, popular green juice is not as good as other fruit and vegetable juices. Multi-colored fruit and veggies have fiber which help with nutrient absorption as well as general gut health.

Green juice, on the contrary, doesn't contain the minimum amount of fiber to help your digestive system work better.
