What should be the first drink you should have in the morning?  (Huffington Post Australia)

When you wake up in the morning, what should be the first drink you should have in the morning?

Tea, coffee, water and fresh fruit juice are just some of the most popular drinks people take to start their day. Many would argue that each is better than the other, but maybe you should decide for yourself.

Tea

Drinking tea in the morning is one the most common practices all over the world. Though tea varies across regions, "real tea" is derived from Camellia sinensis, a plant that gives only four varieties — green, black, white, and oolong. If you're drinking any of this, then prepare to be loaded with tons of health benefits. Tea is said to contain antioxidants which help in boosting exercise endurance, fight against cancers and help to fight free radicals. Tea is, obviously, very hydrating, despite the caffeine. If you are also looking for somet to help you burn calories, then green tea is your best bet.

Water

Drinking water in the morning, especially on an empty stomach, is many shades of healthy. We all know that water doesn't exactly have many nutrients but one thing is sure, it is incredibly beneficial. Water helps to cleanse your colon and allows the stomach to absorb nutrients better, hence boosting metabolism. Ever heard the saying, "Drink water and mind your business" as the key to glowing skin? Yes, water does remove toxins from your blood and body giving you perfect, glowing skin.

Fresh Juice

Juicing early in the morning has health benefits that vary based on the fruits or vegetables used. There is really a juice for everything. However, there are some basic benefits of drinking fresh juices first thing in the morning. Say goodbye to toxins, junk food cravings, lack of energy and say hello to glowing skin, better metabolism and digestion, and accelerated weight loss.

Coffee

Uhh, yes. Contrary to popular beliefs, coffee has many health benefits, even excluding the boost it gives to get through your day. First, it is full of antioxidants. In fact, some studies argue that it has more antioxidants than some fruits and veggies. These antioxidants fight against free radicals in the body. It also helps you burn fat, fight against some cancers and has pain-relieving abilities that can reduce migraines. Surprisingly, it also gives you a short term memory boost!

Coronavirus: 'The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing'

"The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing," says Andrew O'Dwyer, who is recovering after being infected with the new coronavirus following a skiing trip to Italy in late February. "I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...

Babajide made a Stunning Revelation about the Forthcoming Governorship Election in Edo State

Babajide a veteran journalist, while speaking on the popular program “Journalist Hangout” on TVC news Friday August 7, made a stunning revelation about the forthcoming governorship election in Edo state, says all political parties should shown violence because election is not a do or die affair. Babajide while reacting said “ I have to say I have my fears about these forthcoming election, and I hope my fears does not come past. As we can see the shenanigans in Edo state it is now visible that it is no more Oshiomole against Obaseki, it is now PDP against APC which could be devastating in the light of the politics going on now. Obaseki himself divided the APC, because all the lawmakers in Edo state belong to the APC but he divided them by inaugurating some lawmakers, and refusing to inaugurate others. Right now as it stands 17 lawmakers have decided to align with the APC and just 7 lawmakers is with the Governor. For me I think Obaseki should have averted these problem by just issuing a...

THE MASCARENE PARROT

The Mascarene parrot was 35 cm (14 in) in length with a large red bill and long, rounded tail feathers. Its legs were red, and it had naked red skin around the eyes and nostrils. It had a black facial mask and partially white tail feathers, but the colouration of the body, wings and head is unclear. Descriptions from life indicate the body and head were ash grey, and the white part of the tail had two dark central feathers. In contrast, descriptions based on stuffed specimens state that the body was brown and the head bluish but do not mention the dark central tail feathers. This may be due to the specimens having changed colour as a result of aging and exposure to light, as well as other forms of damage. Very little is known about the bird in life. The Mascarene parrot was first mentioned in 1674, and live specimens were later brought to Europe, where they lived in captivity . The species was scientifically described in 1771. Only two stuffed specimens exist today, in Paris and Vienn...
