Thank you for reading past the title of this post. I wasn't sure anyone would. After all, here I am offering advice on how to quit the world's most beloved beverage. ("Hold my beer," says Beer.) The love of coffee transcends national and cultural borders. Around the world, most of us start our day with coffee. Folks take pride in sourcing the best beans and pairing them with the ideal grind and brewing method. We meet friends, clients, and first dates for coffee because coffee shops are comforting, safe spaces. As good ol' Anonymous observed, "Humanity runs on coffee." Yet here I am suggesting you might want to quit. Before I get into why, let me assure you that by and large, I still think coffee has more benefits than downsides. It improves workouts and memory, fights fatigue, and epidemiological evidence links coffee consumption to a host of health benefits. You can check out my Definitive Guide to Coffee to learn more. There are downsides, though. In the pursuit of optimal health, it's essential to examine our choices and behaviors and ask which of them might be undermining your health and longevity goals. That's what I'm suggesting you do today. Stay on track no matter where you are! Instantly download your copy of the Primal and Keto Guide to Eating Out Why Would You Want to Quit Coffee? Because you're a masochist. Kidding, of course. Really, if you think quitting coffee will be that painful, that's a sure sign that you need to take a break. No substance aside from water or air should hold you so firmly in its grasp. I want to enjoy, not depend on, my morning coffee (and maybe a glass of red wine at dinner). As to whether coffee is truly addictive, we clearly shouldn't be talking about coffee in the same breath as something like heroin. However, there's no question that it shares common features with other addictive substances. It stimulates dopamine release in the brain, creating a "feels good, want more" effect. With repeated exposure, you develop a tolerance such that caffeine no longer exerts the same effects. Plus, as many of you know if you've tried to kick the habit before, the withdrawal can be brutal. Even if you don't feel dependent on coffee, taking a break from coffee is akin to doing a 21-Day Primal Transformation or a Keto Reset. It's a chance to shake things up and try something new. You might feel better, worse, or the same. In any case, you'll have learned something about yourself. We should all strive to be curious and open-minded in the pursuit of health. For many people, coffee is a blind spot. They conveniently overlook the ways in which it's not serving them and how they're more dependent on it than they'd like. Besides the philosophical, there are concrete reasons for taking a more honest look at your coffee habit. Coffee: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly As I said, on the … Continue reading "How to Stop Drinking Coffee, and Why You Should Consider It"
