Are you still stressed, even during the holidays?
Have you considered that maybe it's your eating habits that are causing you stress?
What you drink brings you stress
Let's be clear: coffee is meant to wake you up and give you a kick. Usually, we take this in the morning to wake up, to go to work, our brain will be ready to concentrate. But to go camping, to the beach, or simply to enjoy the holidays, it seems to me that coffee has no place?! It's not meant to help you relax. It’s quite clear!
We are so addicted to coffee that we need to have it every morning. So, we start our day with a feeling of urgency, a state of alert. I hear you tell me, it just wakes me up, I don't feel alert. This is because our body gets used to it, adapts. It adapts to stress…
The state of alert that I am talking to you about is the fact that caffeine stimulates the cardiac system and the nervous system, it boosts it to reduce the feeling of fatigue. Basically, coffee gets on our nerves to wake us up. It helps stimulate adrenaline, the stress hormone, to wake us up!
I don't want to spend my vacation day on edge. Especially since the effect of caffeine can stay with us for 8 hours. In short, I won't start my day with a herbal tea to sleep either, but you see, there are two extremes. We can help and boost ourselves with good plants, like maca, which gently wake you up and give lasting energy!!
Let's stay vigilant about our coffee consumption
Let's stay vigilant about our coffee consumption, because even moderate doses of coffee can increase our stress and our level of adrenaline in the blood. Moreover, a study was carried out on 25 healthy men. They felt twice as much stress as those who took a placebo, while they drank around 300 mg of caffeine.
Drink a whistle instead
In short, I suggest you take a good Siffleux instead: an alternative drink to coffee. POP helps to reduce coffee, without the withdrawal effects of caffeine, because there are plants that have been carefully selected to help prevent headaches and help you feel coffee cravings, when you skip a day without coffee. It tastes like coffee, with earthy and fruity notes, medium roast. It is delicious with milk.
