Now, I teach people about healthier lifestyles, and this is usually one of my first suggestions: Quit Drinking Coffee. Here are Five Reasons Why:
1. Causes a disruption of Sleep Patterns: As a result people experience tremors, nervousness, restlessness, irritability, insomnia and anxiety.
2. Deteriorates Performance: Worsen performance that involves short-term memory. Negatively affects fine motor coordination due to an increase in hand and arm tremors.
3. Distresses your Heart: Elevates blood pressure and/or serum cholesterol levels; increases irregular heartbeats and palpitations, and increases the risk of cardiac arrhythmia and heart attack
4. Upsets your Stomach: Causes higher gastric acid production which aggravates peptic ulcers and heartburn
5. May increase risk of cancer: Specifically bladder, rectal and/or breast cancer.
In the coming days I'll be offering a list of the best substitutes for coffee, and how to obtain sustainable energy without the mid-day crash. That translates into you doing more of what you love!
No more dragging around! I'm here to help.
Get ready for boundless energy!

I love the smell of coffee, but I never found that love of drinking coffee. Many people enjoy the different flavors, style choices , i.e. frappachino, cappachino, iced, etc..., has me wondering have coffee drinkers increased? Great post!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this health tip! Excellent suggestions! A friend bought me a $100 Starbucks gift card for my birthday a few years ago. Like Jewel, I like the smell of coffee but necessarily the taste. However, I was hooked on the Starbucks Caramel Apple Cider drink!
ReplyDeleteAlthough caffeine does not fall into the class of "addictive" drugs, I found it to be both addictive and habit-forming. I experienced headaches, fatigue, irritability and nervousness when I stopped drinking them. A friend suggested that I drink raw, unsweetened cranberry juice and apple cider vinegar as a remedy. Together they killed my desire for coffee, tea, apple cider, soda, candy, chocolate and all other caffeine products.
