I've replaced my afternoon soda with an apple. Sounds silly, but if you can push through the first week or two, it will become normal.
Without caffeine, I have found that my energy levels are much more stable throughout the day instead of the peaks and valleys that I used to have.
No. It isn't. I have a family history of high blood pressure. It's what eventually led to my grandfather's death and my mom has had several mini-strokes. My blood pressure became elevated during my second pregnancy and never totally recovered. Cutting out the caffeine is what has made the difference.
I realized this when i was drinking coffee in the morning, a coke in the afternoon and then a couple of beers at night. I couldn't sleep for shit and when I did, it wasn't good sleep. Now I work out most days and I don't drink caffeine and I just drink alcohol on the weekend. I sleep like a champ. It's all intertwined and related at some point. Bottom line is, the healthier lifestyle that you lead, the better you feel.
I drink a lot of water with Organic Lemon juice mixed in there to make it more Alkaline. Cancer cells don't like and can't survive in a high Ph Alkaline environment...................
Caffeine can stay in your system for 12 hours. I sleep better now that I don't drink coffee after 10:00 AM. And I drink decaffeinated sodas too. I sleep a lot better.
Wife and I realized long ago that drinking sweet tea in the evening had that effect on us and cut it out.
