Death by coffee or death by no coffee? I’m on the fifth day without having coffee and I never would have thought it would be this bad. As much as I love coffee, I’m really diving deep in quitting it at least for a period of time. There are many benefits to coffee such as getting that extra pump for the gym, cleans the bowels and gives that extra kick to finish a job in the afternoon or even late nights. Although, I researched more about coffee and there are many downsides to it. Paul Chek is a great resource and you can find many of his videos on YouTube. He lists that coffee is a fungal attractant and your body is more susceptible to fungal infections, can cause constipation, it has a drying effect and dehydrates your body, and it stresses your immune system.
As a wise man once said...
Who are you loyal to?
Are you loyal to yourself and your well-being?
In short, I miss coffee and the ritualistic nature of it; waking up in the morning and making myself a cup to read a book before hitting the iron in the gym, going to coffee shops and getting shit done, socializing with friends. Coffee is like crack in a cup that I can say that I have been addicted to for about 5 years now. I’m having major withdrawals; major migraines and mental fog. So for now I bid you farewell and goodbye coffee…until next time.
