Can you suddenly stop drinking coffee? How to give up coffee and get rid of caffeine addiction? Theory in action

Those people whose morning does not start with coffee are not familiar with many of the problems that avid lovers of this aromatic drink have. Coffee itself is a very healthy drink, but its daily use can lead to a number of negative consequences in the long run. Let's look at 10 reasons why you shouldn't start your day with a cup of coffee.

1. Failure of biorhythms.

Did you know that our body has its own order. In the morning, when we wake up, it is the turn of a sharp release of cortisol and adrenaline. These substances stimulate the brain, increase blood circulation and help us wake up, but gradually their concentration decreases. But, if you regularly pour an invigorating drink into yourself immediately after waking up, the body will stop throwing these substances into the blood, and the natural mechanism of awakening will be disrupted. Because of this, even after giving up coffee, people have problems waking up without doping for a long time. Due to artificial stimulation, we lose what is inherent in our body by nature and is natural.

2. Problems with concentration.

Approximately 15 minutes after drinking coffee, caffeine and other compounds begin to work in our body. Our nervous system receives a powerful impetus and works to the limit of its capabilities. Thoughts become clearer, ideas are born in the head, we are maximally concentrated and efficient. It would seem that there is something wrong? But, problems with concentration appear after a while, when the resource of the brain is depleted and it needs rest. This is where the most unpleasant thing begins - the reaction weakens, it is difficult to concentrate on something important, thoughts are no longer so clear, and simple tasks require more effort. There is one way out of the situation - not to drink coffee in the early morning, but to use the natural resource of the brain and the energy that is produced in the body that has rested after the night, quite actively. Try saving coffee for later - when you feel tired, it will help you return to an alert state.

3. Loss of minerals.

Due to the daily use of coffee in the morning, our body quickly removes liquid, and with it a number of minerals necessary for health. Because of this, "chronic" coffee lovers almost always have the problem of fatigue, brittle hair, nails. Due to the lack of potassium and sodium, appetite increases, the water-salt balance is disturbed, general well-being worsens, and hematopoiesis processes are destabilized. In the long term, this leads to cardiovascular disease and other health problems.

4. Loading dose of female hormones.

Coffee contains a huge amount of phytoestrogen, which is considered a plant analogue of "female" hormones. Of course, estrogen is also produced by the male body, but in a very low concentration and it is necessary for the implementation of vital processes. But, an increase in the concentration of this hormone negatively affects both women's and men's health. These hormones have a particularly negative effect on the male body. First of all, because of this, the level of testosterone decreases, metabolic processes worsen. Another negative consequence is that the hips and abdomen grow from the regular use of phytoestrogen, visceral fat accumulates, and this is not only an aesthetic problem, but also a deterioration in health. That's why morning coffee lovers find it difficult to lose weight in the abdomen and thighs.

5. Addiction.

Due to the fact that the human body is quite flexible and can adapt to everything, over time, subject to regular coffee consumption, people develop a strong addiction, which is as difficult to get out of as quitting smoking or quitting alcohol. Coffee addiction is even worse than drug or alcohol addiction, because in these cases degradation occurs quite quickly, and a person can understand in time what problem he is in. Coffee "addicts" have reduced sensitivity and addiction seems to be something harmless, and many also reassure themselves that coffee contains a lot of useful substances, and antioxidants prevent cancer and premature aging.

6. Problems with teeth.

Even those people who naturally have strong and white teeth eventually experience dental problems from regularly drinking coffee in the morning. The first problem is yellowing of the teeth due to the accumulation of coffee pigment in the surface layers of tooth enamel. The second problem is tooth decay due to the leaching of calcium, fluorine and other minerals from the body. Therefore, if you want to maintain the health of your teeth and the beauty of your smile, stop drinking coffee every morning.

7. Excessive irritability.

The feeling of irritation, of course, does not depend on the level of concentration of caffeine in the blood. But, the problem is that with regular coffee consumption, the nervous system does not have time to recover due to constant stimulation and the fact that it has to work hard. This eventually leads to serious problems, but the first alarm signal is increased irritability. Due to the exhaustion of the nervous system, resistance to external stimuli is significantly reduced and a person is ready to flare up for any, even the most trifling reason.

8. Insomnia.

Sleep problems are the logical end of the day for most strong coffee drinkers in the morning. Due to powerful stimulation, the nervous system is in tension even in the evening, and all attempts to fall asleep as soon as possible end with the person lying with his eyes closed and dreaming of falling into a deep sleep. The problem is especially acute in older people, because the nervous system does not have time to recover so quickly, and is no longer able to endure such loads.

9. Deterioration of the skin.

On the one hand, coffee contains a huge amount of antioxidants that cleanse the body at the cellular level and prevent aging. These substances activate regeneration. But, the problem is that for the full regeneration of cells, water is needed, or rather, a lot of water. And coffee lovers are more likely than others to suffer from a lack of fluid, because this drink enhances the excretion of water from the body, and can even lead to dehydration. Due to the regular use of coffee in the morning, the skin loses its elasticity, becomes flabby and dries out, and this leads to a deterioration in its appearance.

10. Iron deficiency anemia.

The level of hemoglobin in many people is reduced due to the environmental situation, and regular coffee consumption in the morning contributes to the development of iron deficiency anemia. Anemia - deterioration of health, insufficient supply of cells and tissues with oxygen, poor memory and vision, reduced immunity. The problem is that the substances contained in coffee do not allow iron compounds to be fully absorbed, and in the long term this seriously affects health. Therefore, if you do not want to suffer from anemia, give up your morning coffee and replace this drink with freshly squeezed juice, or water with a slice of lemon!

I haven't had coffee for over two years now. This did not come about by chance. It all started in August 2014. I started studying nutrition courses in Copenhagen. At home I had a wonderful coffee machine that made the best coffee from freshly ground beans, and regular espresso, and cappuccino, and latte. Just press the button and voila! - the divine drink is ready.

I never considered myself a coffee drinker and my daily limit rarely exceeded three cups. But at the courses in Copenhagen there was not only a coffee machine, but coffee in general. I lived on a school campus where this drink was banned. Of course, it was possible to run to the nearest cafe, but for some reason I thought that I could live on tea. The only “but” was that I had a constant headache. She began to get sick by the evening of the first day of training and was sick without ceasing for 2-3 days, until she returned home. This was repeated several times - in every study session that I had at school.

I couldn't understand what was the matter. I slept 8 hours a day, ate the freshest, correct bio-products, drank a lot of water, ran in the mornings and walked for a long time in the evenings ... There was no answer.

Once I complained to a classmate about my strange headaches. She suggested that it was withdrawal due to the refusal of caffeine. It was VERY hard to believe. I don't drink liters of coffee, I'm not at all drawn to coffee. Or pull? I decided to check it out. The next time I bought a paper cup of cappuccino right on arrival at the Copenhagen train station, I drank it on the way to school. And… there was no headache that day!

I seriously thought - do I really need this “magic” drink if I react so strongly to its absence?

As you know, information about coffee is very controversial. Either coffee is useful, or harmful, or it invigorates, or, on the contrary, reduces energy levels and worsens sleep. Either coffee fights aging, or it leads to faster wear and tear of both the brain and the body as a whole ... A dense forest!

I have also read articles by people who have given up coffee. And they all unanimously claimed that they began to feel more energetic. I wanted to try it for myself. Most of those who gave up coffee wrote that it takes at least two months to experience all the delights of life without coffee. I set a deadline for myself - three months. And the experiment began.

At that moment I was driven primarily by curiosity. I wondered how my life would change after quitting caffeine. And secondly, I really do not like to be dependent on anything. And the fact of coffee addiction was obvious - a day without caffeine guaranteed headaches and poor sleep. I didn't like it very much.

I didn't expect it to be easy. Earlier, when I gave up sugar, I had already experienced all the "charms" of fighting addictions: headaches, poor sleep, irritability, fatigue ... Similar symptoms did not take long this time. The first week was just awful! My head hurt. In the morning I could not tear myself away from the pillow, and in the evenings, although I was tired, I could not sleep. When I finally fell asleep, my sleep was restless. I woke up 100 times a night.

I was constantly irritated. Absolutely everything infuriated me: any weather, children - my own and others, neighbor's dogs who strove to climb into our garden, drivers on the roads, sellers in stores, my husband and all his relatives, the number of which, as it seemed to me at that time, had increased incredibly ... The only desire was to give up everything to hell, drink your only cup of coffee a day and finally sleep normally, and not stagger from corner to corner, trying to muster the rest of the willpower to do something useful either around the house or on work (the costs of your own business and a free schedule: you can’t force yourself - no one will force you).

I was ready to break a thousand times. The miracle coffee machine stood in the most prominent place and smiled ominously at me, saying that, dear, can you quit your stupid experiments already? All you need is to press a button to get rid of the torment ...

I still can’t say for sure what kept me from breaking in the first two weeks. They were also the hardest. I am surprised that I succeeded.

Two weeks later, something clicked and my body changed. The headaches disappeared, I no longer wanted to kill everyone around me, I suddenly began to sleep well at night. But sleep has undergone another metamorphosis. I fell into a very deep sleep with my children as early as 8 pm! It did not fit into any gates, because it is in the evenings that I write best, the evening time is allotted for working on my blog. In addition, all my nutritional clients also prefer to consult in the evenings when their household members have gone to their bedrooms. Therefore, the schedule “I go to bed at 20:00, I get up at 4:00” categorically did not suit me.

I began to sleep during the day to be in shape for evening consultations. Daytime sleep could last up to three hours! Sometimes I set the alarm, but I didn’t have the strength to get up.

I lived in a strange half-asleep state. Nothing hurt, but the strength decreased significantly. I continued the experiment in the hope that my energy levels would soon be restored. And so it happened!

After a couple of weeks, the drowsiness began to pass. I didn’t fall off my feet in the evenings anymore, I slept for only an hour instead of three during the day, and there was another obvious plus: my energy was constant throughout the day. The desire to take a nap after dinner disappeared, in the morning I woke up before the alarm clock and managed to do a bunch of things. There were no such crazy jumps as after a cup of coffee, but there were no subsequent falls.

Coffee activates the stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol. It is they who give a surge of energy, for example, up to the “10” mark. But then the effect of caffeine wears off, and we fall not to our original zero level, but to minus. With each cup of coffee, it is already more difficult for us to reach the “10” mark, and then we fall lower and lower. This explains the fact that people who have been drinking coffee for years can safely have a couple of cups before bed and still fall asleep. Another issue is that the quality of their sleep leaves much to be desired. But that's a topic for another article.

I came to the conclusion that this must be the price to pay for quitting caffeine - an average but constant level of energy instead of strong intermittent bursts. So the next month passed. A month later, a surprise awaited me: I noticed that my overall energy level began to gradually increase. It still remained constant throughout the day, but it just got MORE. I completely gave up daytime sleep, got up at six, went to bed closer to midnight, and at the same time I was cheerful as never before. The game was definitely worth the candle!

Please note that I did not replace coffee with other caffeinated beverages such as strong black tea. No, the experiment was carried out in its purest form. No caffeinated tea. Only herbal tea and water. I also did not “catch up” with sweet and starchy foods to console myself. Sweet can also give energy jumps. I knew about it, and did not change the awl for soap.

More than two years have passed since then. During this time, I drank coffee several times. There was even a ten-day period where I drank 1-2 cups of coffee a day every day - we were with a group in the mountains of France, and there was nothing but coffee and water. To my surprise, I got used to this drink quickly enough, I had to take my will into a fist again and give up coffee. True, there were no such harsh reactions of the body as at the very beginning. There was drowsiness and a desire to spit on everything and drink a cup so as not to sleep on the go ... But I managed to overcome myself in just a few days.

Apart from these ten days, I sometimes drank a cup of coffee for taste, but the consequences were almost always. You can read more about this on my blog.

What is the status today? I have never regretted my experience. All my suffering paid off with a vengeance. I have never had so much energy. Is that quite in deep childhood, which I really do not remember. I still wake up at six in the morning, I have time to redo a lot of things, daytime sleepiness has left me forever, and my loved ones never tire of wondering how I manage to do everything.

So I can say one thing - try it yourself! If you can hardly take your head off the pillow, don’t imagine a morning without coffee, and after dinner you want to either fall asleep or kill the whole office, I suggest living a couple of months without caffeine.

To make it easier for you, here are some practical tips that I hope will make your life easier:

· Get ready for something that won't be easy. For the first two weeks, your head may hurt, your mood will deteriorate, your sleep will worsen ... Remember that this is NORMAL. You're all right, that's the way it should be. If there are no such consequences, then this is also normal. Just be glad that you are spared these troubles.

In the first two weeks it is permissible to drink green tea with reduced caffeine content. Such varieties include, for example, jasmine tea and milk oolong tea. The body reacts not only to the rejection of caffeine, but also to the rejection of the coffee itself. Therefore, if it becomes completely sick, drink weak green tea.

In order not to die of fatigue for days at all, I suggest drinking ginger tea or smoothie with fresh ginger. Ginger invigorates no worse than caffeine, but at the same time it has only useful properties. And it is undeniable, unlike coffee.

· Warn others that your bad mood in the next couple of weeks has nothing to do with them.

· Tell your loved ones about your experience. I suggest calling this an experiment, not a coffee break. So others, and yourself, it will be easier to accept the changes. It is easier to adhere to the planned plan when there are no strict restrictions “forever”, “now never”, “refusal” (underline as necessary).

Before giving up this business, hold out for at least a month and a half. Such a period is necessary in order for all positive changes to appear. If you give up early, you will nullify the point of the whole undertaking. In a shorter period of time, you will not understand anything and will simply waste both time and energy in vain.

For the purity of the experiment in two months I suggest trying a cup of good freshly brewed coffee. You will immediately understand by sensations - HOW exactly you react to it. And then decide - to return to this drink, or it is worth continuing to live without it. Personally, after my first cup of coffee, which I drank after three months of life without caffeine, I was only once again convinced of the correctness of the chosen path: I felt VERY bad.

When the addiction goes away, if you wish, you can always treat yourself to a cup of coffee or black tea. After all, the main thing is getting rid of addiction.. And if you live quietly for a month without coffee, and then at the airport you succumb to the temptation of smells from a coffee shop and order a cappuccino for yourself, well, okay! Enjoy and move on. Without coffee.

Definitely worth a try. After all, what do you have to lose? Good luck!

Almost all of us are coffee lovers who start the day with just this drink. Meanwhile, coffee is not so useful, especially for girls who care about their beauty. We offer 5 replacement options.

Caffeine is addictive. Inveterate coffee lovers, without drinking coffee, feel a headache and general weakness. Agree that this is wrong. Coffee leaches calcium from the body, which we need for healthy hair and bones. Caffeine reduces the chances of a healthy pregnancy. In addition, coffee dehydrates the body. Looks like it's time to look for a replacement!

Latte with turmeric

Turmeric root coffee is very beneficial. Find this spice on the market - it is rich in iodine, calcium and B vitamins. This is a powerful antioxidant, and turmeric, by the way, speeds up the metabolism.

Turmeric should be finely chopped or grated, and then pour boiling water. Add some ginger or cinnamon, put the mixture on a slow fire, add some frothed milk and sugar.

Cocoa

Cocoa beans also contain caffeine, so cocoa allows you to cheer up. Cocoa, of course, is a high-calorie drink, but if you drink it in the morning, then all the calories will burn in a day. To make the morning happier, add cinnamon or nutmeg to cocoa, and if it's a weekend or - marshmallow marshmallows.

Matcha latte

This is a very invigorating drink, besides full of vitamins. Matcha tea is now sold in all specialized tea shops, so it will not be difficult to find it. Take 100 ml coconut milk, 100 ml almond milk, 1/2 teaspoon matcha tea, a tablespoon of coconut oil, add vanilla and cinnamon. Mix everything and drink!

This drink, thanks to the content of healthy fat from coconut oil, will give you a pleasant feeling of fullness that will last until lunchtime.

Chicory

Chicory is much more accessible than coffee, healthier than it and does not increase blood pressure. Natural chicory is obtained from the ground root of the plant of the same name. A good alternative to coffee!

- You will feel overwhelmed -

Coffee addiction is an addiction. Let's admit it now. Another proof is an attempt to refuse coffee. It is always accompanied by the so-called breaking - you will have a headache, you will feel tired and strong mood swings. However, the beauty of this state is that it is not permanent. It is worth holding out for a while without coffee and the body will return to normal. As with all addictions, you need to remember - it's not coffee that makes your life bearable, but the habit of drinking it. But without this habit, too, you can live.

- You will start to lose weight -

It seems that people are completely unaware of how many calories they consume with coffee. Few people consume a pure drink, it tastes disgusting. However, adding sugar, cream and some syrup to it, you get an excellent coffee that you want to live from. And also a lot of extra calories that would be worth a chocolate bar or a cake if you think about what to replace coffee with.

- Or maybe you gain weight -

Caffeine is a fairly powerful appetite suppressant. And although it works for a short time, you can feel permanent hunger if you decide to give up caffeine. The question - how you cope with it, just determines whether you gain weight or, on the contrary, lose it. In addition, caffeine, according to some studies, speeds up metabolism. Probably, under normal conditions it is difficult to notice, but a combination of factors can affect and give visible results.

- More sleep, more energy -

Caffeine, which enters the body even six hours before bedtime, can significantly spoil the quality of rest at night. This effect has been studied in many clinical sleep medicine laboratories. The result of the research convinces us that caffeine-dependent people sleep worse and rest less. You probably won't feel better when you quit coffee, but after a while you'll find that you're feeling a lot more energized.

- Calm will descend -

Caffeine is a stimulant. That is, this chemical acts depressingly on your nervous system. As if someone is pressing on the gas in your nerves, forcing you to get annoyed over trifles and break down on loved ones. In addition, coffee is a vasoconstrictor and it increases blood pressure. For those who do not suffer from hypotension, it is too strong a stimulant. That is, the body will experience much less stress without caffeine.

- Sports will suffer -

If you are actively involved in sports, then you should think twice before giving up caffeine. The fact is that it keeps us in the so-called battle mode, in which it is easier to cope with physical exertion. With coffee you do more exercises and you can do them for longer. So giving up coffee can actually make your body less strong and less resilient. For some time.

- Gastrointestinal tract will feel the difference -

On the one hand, coffee significantly speeds up your digestive system, and on the other hand, it creates a very acidic environment, which does not have a very favorable effect on the process of digesting food. So if you experience this kind of discomfort at times, it is most likely due to coffee. It is worth stopping drinking it for a while to notice how the condition of the stomach and intestines has improved.

- Antioxidants will be reduced -

Coffee is the number one source of antioxidants in our diet, studies show. Perhaps that is why the experiment on the study of breast cancer proved that women who consume 5 cups of coffee a day are 57% less likely to suffer from this type of cancer. Also, coffee is a great way to prevent diseases of the cardiovascular system. It is worth thinking about this before giving up your favorite drink.

Coffee for many people is a great way to wake up in the morning and feel more awake, but for some people, coffee becomes not only a means of awakening and getting energy, but also a faithful companion and friend throughout the day, and in the future this “friend” becomes cause many of their health problems. Such people can be called coffee lovers, for them give up coffee This is a daunting task and a difficult decision. Caffeine is a drug, and like quitting any other drug, you need a clear step-by-step plan of action. You also need to be prepared for "breaking" and a serious drop in energy levels at first. And in today's article, I will try to give you this step-by-step method of dealing with caffeine addiction. If you decide to heed these tips, you can give up coffee with minimal psychological disruption.

Stage number 1 - preparation

Tune in psychologically

Be honest: do you like the taste of coffee or the energy boost that comes after drinking it? Many people drink coffee for one of these two reasons, without thinking about how seriously the drink can damage the body. If you constantly (manically) always want coffee, then it's time to think about how give up coffee and help your body recover. Amount up to 450 mg per day is considered safe enough, which is equivalent to 3 medium cups per day.

Think of the positives

If you drink more than 3 cups of coffee a day, then you are obviously addicted. Not at all necessary give up coffee absolutely, but it is necessary to significantly reduce its consumption during the day.

The effect of excess caffeine on the body is expressed in the following:

• Increased risk of hypertension
• Due to severe overload, the liver cannot effectively neutralize toxins;
• Increases the risk of developing caries;
• Weak bones;
• Psychological/physiological dependence develops;
• Increased anxiety;
• Often alternate periods of hyperactivity, inability to concentrate with periods of complete weakness;
• Sleep disturbances are observed;
• Slows down weight loss
• The body is dehydrated;
• The level of sexual desire decreases, potency weakens in men;
• Nervous excitability increases.

Find replacement drinks

If coffee seems vital to you, then think about what you can replace it with. The well-known saying “There are no irreplaceable people” is also true for coffee. My personal advice to you: drink more water - this is the healthiest and best replacement; You can also drink carbonated mineral water, but not sugary soda, as it also contains caffeine. Another healthy drink to consider as an alternative to coffee is. It also contains caffeine, but in terms of its beneficial properties, it outperforms coffee in many ways!

Step #2 – Give up coffee gradually

Start consistently and slowly giving up coffee. It’s better to start small than to drastically cut caffeine out of your diet. Drink one less cup of coffee daily than usual for a week. If at first give up coffee in the morning if you find it overwhelming, then skip the afternoon or evening portion, and before the morning cup of coffee, ALWAYS drink a glass of water!

To gradually give up coffee try replacing one or two doses of this drink with natural cocoa or chicory, then drink 2 cups less coffee for the second week. Keep cutting back until you reach a safe amount or eliminate coffee from your diet altogether.

Make coffee less accessible to you

Allocate your "coffee" budget for the week. Thus, if you exceeded the expenses in the first couple of days, then by the end of the week there will be no money left for an additional cup / can. If you gradually reduce the amount of money for coffee, then in the end you will automatically limit yourself in its use.

Make time for rest and recuperation

Choose one day (let it be Saturday or Sunday) when you are not solving problems, not working, and not "on the run". When you do not need to solve urgent and urgent matters. Let this day be empty in the organizer for at least three consecutive weeks after giving up coffee. Give your body a rest on this day, eat fresh fruits, vegetables, drink multivitamins, including B vitamins. They act on the body in the same way as caffeine.

drink water

Drinking enough water all the time will help your body's cells cleanse and hydrate. Caffeine is a diuretic and causes the body to lose a lot of fluid. For people who drink coffee in moderation, the diuretic effect is mild, unlike those who are addicted to caffeinated drinks and energy drinks. Dehydration can lead to poor health. Try to drink at least 1.5 liters of water daily.

Step #3 – Get rid of the caffeine “lust”

Try to get enough rest

For many of us, caffeine is a way to combat sleepiness during the day and a way to boost low energy levels. Make sure you get enough sleep every night while fighting your caffeine addiction, as healthy sleep regenerates the body and resets the nervous system.

Limit your alcohol intake

Drinking restrictions along with drinking enough water are very important in the fight against caffeine addiction. Alcohol causes dehydration and is also a strong depressant, so it may well provoke a strong desire to drink coffee the day after the party to please yourself.

Get ready for a caffeine craving

Depending on the amount of caffeine that your body has received daily, the body may experience a shock of varying intensity when reducing the usual serving of coffee. If you decide give up coffee At first, you may experience the following symptoms:

• Drowsiness and fatigue;
• depression;
• Headache;
• Irritability;
• Inability to focus on work;
• muscle weakness;
• flu symptoms;
• insomnia;
• constipation;
• Anxiety and nervousness.

Distract yourself with pleasant things

make up your mind give up coffee in the morning or at other times it will be easier if you occupy your brain with something else. Think ahead about when your caffeine craving peaks during the day (like driving past your favorite coffee shop, going to a work meeting, etc.) and come up with distractions during that time. These maneuvers should be based on what you like and enjoy: listening to your favorite music, calling a friend, looking at pictures of cats, etc. You should always have a phone, a player, a tablet, a book, a newspaper at hand so that you can quickly get distracted.

Step #4 – Boost Your Energy Without Caffeine

Listen to energetic songs

If you can listen to music at work, why not grab some headphones and turn the music up a few tones? This will make your heart beat faster and make you want to dance. Agree, a great way to beat the afternoon breakdown.

Turn on the light

The body reacts to lighting. If the place where you relax or work is too dark, it can negatively affect the physical and mental processes. Try to keep your blinds/curtains open in the morning so you feel good when you wake up. If your workspace is too dark, add lighting so your body doesn't feel sleepy and tired from lack of light (and doesn't end up craving caffeine).

Stop slouching

A hunched posture at a desk in front of a computer is not recommended for many reasons, since in addition to reducing energy levels, it causes curvature of the spine and poor posture. Sit in an upright, ergonomic posture that sets your body up for high energy concentration and active work. Try to get up and move during the work day. If possible, do a series of exercises while sitting - this will increase energy levels and speed up metabolism.

And a couple of final tips:

- Some people get rid of caffeine addiction quickly enough and easily refuse coffee despite withdrawal symptoms. Weakness and headaches show how caffeine actually affects the body, so getting rid of caffeine addiction is the first step towards a happier and healthier life.

If you've started, don't give up. Go to the goal gradually instead of abruptly give up coffee and feel all the delights of the withdrawal syndrome.

- If you want to keep caffeine in your daily diet, then stop at one cup of coffee a day. This amount is safe for the body. Moreover, with a small cup of coffee, you can reduce your appetite and avoid overeating.

It is very important to do everything in moderation. The same rule applies to coffee and caffeinated drinks. If energy drinks and other caffeinated drinks have firmly entered your diet, then you will have to work on yourself and do everything to limit consumption or completely give up coffee. It is quite possible to do this, but subject to full awareness of the harm from consuming excessive amounts of caffeine.

If you are limited to a small daily portion of coffee, then you do not need to give up coffee fully. In I will tell you how to drink coffee without harm to health, which coffee is considered the best and why, and I will also tell you whether you should drink coffee before and after a workout. Don't miss it, it will be interesting =)
