Coffee Is F*%king Awesome. Here’s why you should drink less of it.
Coffee is great. Here’s why you need to drink more mushroom coffee instead.
We love coffee. Really, we do. And that’s exactly why we made a coffee alternative. Because as much as we love our coffee, our bodies do not. The more we drink, the more the addiction and the problems mount. And as we age, things only get worse. So if you want to preserve the coffee culture you love without the caffeine drawbacks, here are just a few reasons you should consider backing off on the coffee and trying a coffee alternative.
Sleep disruption: Caffeine is a stimulant that can interfere with your sleep patterns. After all, if it wakes you up as well as it does, it’s gonna prevent you from sleeping too. And lousy sleep means less focus and productivity and more of you being a grumpy pain in the ass.
Increased anxiety and jitters: Coffee stimulates the release of adrenaline and can increase anxiety levels in susceptible individuals. It may also cause jitters, restlessness, and an increased heart rate. You know the feeling. It ain’t good. Besides being bad for you physically, those jitters and restlessness make you, shall we say, less fun to be around.
Digestive issues: Coffee can stimulate the production of stomach acid and may lead to digestive issues like heartburn, acid reflux, and indigestion. Caffeine can also have a laxative effect sometimes known as the morning poops or nervous shits. NOTE: those are not the medical terms, just the marketing terms.
Dependency and tolerance: Regular coffee consumption can lead to caffeine dependency and tolerance. So you’ll need more coffee over time to achieve the same level of alertness. And more and more coffee leads to more and more of all this badness.
Blood pressure and cardiovascular health: Caffeine can temporarily raise your blood pressure. And while this increase is usually minor, excessive coffee consumption or underlying health conditions may increase the risk of cardiovascular problems in some people.
Coffee Breath: We don’t mean to be trivial, but it’s nasty. Coffee turns your breath into a foul gas that no mints are gonna cover-up. Ever been next to your boss who’s trying to be all serious and tell you something important and you can barely concentrate because he smells like a tin of sardines are packed in his cheeks?
The Cost: If you spend just $4 a day at Starbucks, 7 days a week, that’s $1344 per year. Serious coffee drinkers spend a ton more than that. Cutting back or drinking a coffee alternative at home will save you thousands of dollars, have a dramatic effect on your health and make you feel better, sleep better, behave better and smell better.
Coffee Alternatives: Obviously we’re gonna suggest you try Mad Dandy. It’s the only coffee alternative made with dandelion root, Chaga, Reishi, Cordyceps and Lion’s Mane mushrooms, Turmeric and Collagen with just a touch of caffeine. And it’s the only one that tastes like a creamy, nutty, cocoa latte thanks to the chai and peanut butter powder. But there are others like Mud/WTR or Joe’y or mushroom teas of all kinds.
