My new fix

Coffee.... Even reading the word can make us feel like its actually waking us up.
However i find that the image and taste of coffee can play with our minds by making us think it will actually wake us up just because its what we are used to. Do you really think it would make a difference if you drank decaf one morning without knowing? would you actually notice the change?

Coffee -  It stains your teeth and alters the smell of your breath.
            - its addictive. 
            - bad for your vocal chords.
            - robs you of calcium.
            - higher chance of early osteoporosis.
            - a main cause of premature aging.
enough about the coffee, now straight to the good stuff. I have recently discovered peppermint tea. I now drink it daily, the benefits are countless and the effect is sensational.

As well having superior flavor, peppermint tea possesses the following health benefits:

  • Peppermint tea treats irritable bowel syndrome 
  • Peppermint tea eases nausea and vomiting
  • Peppermint tea controls flatulence and diverticular disorder
  • Peppermint tea improves digestion and reduce heartburn 
  • Peppermint tea dissolves gallstones
  • Peppermint tea reduces the severity of herpes outbreaks 
  • Peppermint tea fights bad breath
  • Peppermint tea controls muscle aches and chronic pain
  • Peppermint tea clears congestion and cough related to colds and allergies 
  • Peppermint tea controls mild asthma 
  • Peppermint tea fights stress

If you just want to cut down you have to slowly ween yourself off of it. Like if you typically drink 5 cups a day cut one out the first few days or week...then cut one more out.. until you are down to where you want to be. You'll not only  feel but see a positive difference in yourself.

Go green.
