The Brutal Truth Behind Coffee

In the great coffee health debate there are a few different groups..

1. People who hate coffee and claim it causes anxiety.
2. People who love coffee and believes it helps them.
3. People who are impersonal to coffee but use it to get through the day.?

Which one are you?

How do you use coffee in your life?

Do you use coffee to open yourself up or numb yourself?

Do you truly enjoy the drink or use it for the caffeine?

Asking yourself these questions can help raise awareness of your relationship with coffee which is most likely the most important life long factor for health.?

The Bad Behind Coffee

Coffee isn’t bad. But anything consumed too much can be harmful.?

Coffee can indeed trigger anxiety and more stress?for some people?based on a wide variety of potential factors. If you feel like your nervous system is moving at 120 mph while drinking coffee and then afterwards you crash and feel terrible. That’s a clear sign coffee may not be right for you.?Check out potential factors to avoid below.

Avoid:

• Drinking more than 2 cups of coffee.
• Drinking coffee on an empty stomach (impacts digestion negatively).
• Drinking a massive mug of coffee.
• Drinking coffee during or immediately right after eating (decreases ability to digest nutrients from food).
• Drinking coffee with sugar / added sweeteners.
• Drinking black coffee quickly (increases rate of caffeine absorption).
• Drinking coffee with artifical creamers loaded with oils and sugars.

The Good Behind Coffee

Coffee has quite a few health benefits. According to?John Hopkins Medicine:

• Lowered Risk for Stroke & Heart Disease
• Decreased Risk for Alzheimers & Parkinsons
• Less likely to develop Colon Cancer (even decaf)
• Dark roasted coffee strengthens your DNA
• Better Liver Health (even decaf)
• Your Body may process glucose better
• You could actually live longer!?

What To Do Instead

• Drink 2 mini-cups of small coffee.
• Drink coffee 20-30 minutes after eating.
• Drink smaller cups of coffee more frequently than one big massive mug.
• Drink coffee and enjoy the taste of its flavor without sugar.
• Drink coffee with a healthy fat source to exentuate the impact of caffeine.

The Cost of Not Drinking Coffee

If you’re drinking more alcohol / energy drinks / processed drinks instead of coffee…

Not the best idea.

If you’re learning how to master your own energy without a drink and maybe consuming matcha or green tea…

Much better.

Coffee can indeed help many people and be apart of a healthy lifestyle.?Coffee for some people helps stave off depression?(study) and long-term fatigue from other health issues.?

If you can use coffee to help make your life a little easier and don’t see experience the negative side-effects then enjoy it!

Personally for me ever since I started to consume very small cups of coffee throughout the day after I eat,?it’s a night and day difference?in overall energy levels.
