Let’s talk about what would happen if you cut out caffeine for 30 days.
Over 85% of adults in the US consume caffeine, and children also consume a tremendous amount of caffeine.
Some studies show that caffeine consumption can increase conceptual memory, reasoning, reaction speed, and spatial memory. It can also affect your mood.
However, many people experience symptoms associated with consuming caffeine, including:
• Anxiety
• High blood pressure
• High pulse rate
• Arrhythmias
• Loss of fluid
• Digestive problems
Caffeine also increases adrenaline and stimulates the adrenals, which can lead to all kinds of health concerns.
There can be high levels of two different types of mold found in overly processed coffees and decaf coffees. These types of mold can lead to allergies and irritation in the liver.
Coffee can also deplete vitamin B1. If you’re going to drink coffee, it’s important to consume high-quality organic coffee and keep it at one cup a day.
Potential benefits of not consuming caffeine for 30 days:
1. Less anxiety and a higher sense of calm
2. Better sleep and more energy throughout the day
3. Lowered blood pressure and pulse rate
4. No more arrhythmias
5. Healthier teeth
6. Healthier liver function
7. Healthier adrenal function
The best ways to come off caffeine:
• Switch from coffee to tea
• Try herbal coffee substitutes
• Take vitamin B1 and vitamin B12
• Take adaptogens like ashwagandha and lemon balm tea
