Lower your caffeine intake by trying these healthier alternatives

Lower your caffeine intake by trying these healthier alternatives.
1. Kombucha Tea
Kombucha is a type of yeast. When fermented with tea, sugar, and other flavours or ingredients you make Kombucha tea.

The teapot offers a very healthy alternative to the office coffee machine.  Teas come in a myriad of forms and blends and can be drunk hot or cold. There is a massive selection of green, black, herbal, and speciality teas out there, many of which are caffeine-free and naturally sweet enough to pass on the sugar. Many teas are a well-known source of antioxidants, B vitamins, and minerals.
