It’s Time to Un-Coffee.
A healthier morning ritual means swapping out that first cup of coffee for an antioxidant, adaptogen rich coffee alternative like the dandelion root based hot beverage called Mad Dandy.
Being un-coffee doesn’t mean we’re anti-coffee. We love the stuff. But often our bodies and brains don’t love it so much. Being un-Coffee is about a healthier morning ritual. One that wakes you up without the jolt, jitters, reflux or addiction.
Un-coffee means getting your energy along with antioxidants, anti-inflammatories and adaptogens. Because starting your day with dandelion root and mushrooms gives you a ton of benefits. While all that coffee has a ton of downside.
Un-Coffee and your stomach will thank you.
That initial coffee jolt you get from your morning brew can also jolt your stomach.
One of the primary effects of caffeine on the digestive tract is stomach irritation and gastrointestinal distress. We call it gut-rot, but the medical journals haven’t come around to that term quite yet. The National Library of Medicine lists a number of less-than-pleasant gastrointestinal effects from caffeine.
For most people, that first cup of coffee is on an empty stomach, which makes things even worse. Since there isn’t anything else in your stomach to buffer the acidity of coffee, irritation of the stomach lining and intestinal tract is increased.
Start your day easier.
That first cup of Mad Dandy eases you into the day with a warm, gentle feeling and just a touch of caffeine (or no caffeine with Decaf Mad Dandy.) No stomach issues, no indigestion, no gut-rot. Not to mention the creamy, nutty, chai cocoa-y taste.
Un-Coffee, un-jittery.
The caffeine jolt from coffee can also cause jitters, anxiety, high blood pressure and sweats. According to the Mayo Clinic, “Caffeine may cause a short, but dramatic increase in your blood pressure, even if you don't have high blood pressure.” And when the caffeine crash comes in the afternoon and you have another cup, that’s when insomnia and other sleep issues can develop. (Not to mention the coffee breath that makes you smell like your old Uncle Ed.)
A healthier morning ritual.
Un-Coffee is all about a morning ritual that’s good for you while it energizes you. The dandelion root in Mad Dandy is loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatories. Plus dandelion root helps liver function, increases bile production and detoxifies the liver, just in case the night before involved a few too many.
Un-coffee is also about mushrooms and adaptogens.
Lion’s Mane, Chaga, Reishi, Cordyceps and Ashwagandhas, to be specific.
Cordyceps provide energy, reduce fatigue and help lessen the effects of stress on the body. Reishi can boost the immune system. Ashwagandhas can help reduce anxiety and depression. Chagas help with gut health and lower cholestrol. And Lion’s Mane promote brain health and are a good source of hericenones and erinacines, two chemicals that accelerate the growth of brain cells. That’s a helluva morning ritual. And we haven’t even talked about the benefits of turmeric and collagen.
It’s time to break the caffeine addiction and start your day with a healthier morning ritual. Un-Coffee.
