Boost Your Energy with These Alternatives to Caffeine

Coffee may be a staple in many of our lives, but it's not the only game in town when it comes to energy-boosting beverages. According to author Stephen Cherniske, there are several alternatives to caffeine that can help you stay alert and focused without the jitters or crash that often come with relying on coffee.

C Cherniske recommends trying green tea, which contains a unique antioxidant called L-theanine that helps promote relaxation and mental clarity. Another option is matcha, a powdered green tea that's rich in caffeine but has a more sustained release than traditional brewed tea.
