Veganism

General Verdict: you can be healthier by being on a vegan diet. Being vegan is also significantly better for the environment. There are only two main issue with being vegan is that there are certain vitamins (Vitamin B12) that you can only get through animal products which can easily be solvable through taking supplements. Also, for some reason we see that vegans are also much more susceptible to breaking bones than the general population. All around health can be better though by reducing meat consumption.

Caffeine

coffee can make you poop within minutes 

it takes between 30 min to 1 hour for the caffeine to peak in the body

Caffeine helps us be more alert, awake, focused, and helps us have faster reaction time 

On average, one cup of coffee reduces your sleep by about 15 min BUT this varies a lot from person to person and depends on how your body can metabolize caffeine. If you metabolize caffeine slow, this could look like an hour less of sleep but if you can metabolize it fast, there might not be any change on sleeping. 

Caffeine can help with athleticism. People in studies who drank coffee more had 1,000 more steps daily that those who didn’t (just don’t overdo it, maybe like 1-2 coffees before exercise)

it might reduce your risk of depression, if you’re drinking coffee and tea, Cancer, Parkinson’s, and diabetes

Verdict: have some tea and coffee, it actually seems to be quite good for you. If you want to have some good peak performance too in terms of exercise, a bit can also help with that. Just have it in moderation.
