We know that excess is never good, and coffee is no exception to this rule. Indeed, the caffeine it contains gives us an energy boost and has many virtues, but its effect is limited because the body gets used to it. And if you drink too much, it's not terrible:the heart racing, difficulty sleeping... Clearly, it's all about finding the right level of caffeine to enjoy its effects without abusing it. Here are 4 reflexes to adopt to reduce our caffeine consumption without having the impression of making a big sacrifice.
If you want to keep drinking something hot, swap coffee for a caffeine-free alternative:infusion, a turmeric latte or even just the decaffeinated version of coffee. A little cinnamon in hot water is also an option to consider.
If you necessarily need a coffee to wake up, you may have to think about why you are so tired and above all try to improve the quality of your sleep. When you're in good shape, coffee after lunch is a step you can easily skip.
If it's the boost side of coffee that we're looking for, we swap the afternoon coffee for a fruit or a mix of dried fruits and almonds. Guaranteed energy!
Be careful, we are not saying that people who drink little (or no) coffee cannot play sports! But when you suddenly stop caffeine, there can be side effects (headaches and dizziness in particular), which do not last more than 3 days, fortunately. During this period, we prefer gentler exercises (jogging at moderate speed, yoga, etc.).
