I like that is refreshes like nothing else, has no harmful side effects, no calories and is what my body needs most to perform it's functions... Good choice in switching your caffeine drinks to juice and water. Don't forget to make some good fruit smoothies. too. Drink 8 glasses of water a day for the best of health and to flush our toxins from our system... Water is great stuff. : )) You're a cheerful soul. Thanks for being that way.

Please be more attentive in the future. Thanks,. On Behalf Of wwjd Tuesday, August 22, 2006 9:34 AM Undisclosed-Recipient:; Why People Quit Coffee Why People Quit Coffee Are you a coffee drinker who depends on that dearly familiar brew to help you get out of bed in the morning and face your life's tasks? Yet maybe you have nagging feelings that your body doesn't quite metabolize coffee the way it did when you were younger. Or perhaps you've been to your health practitioner who has advised you to quit caffeine. It could be that your family members or co- workers have suggested that you seem to get too tense and irritable when you drink coffee. The reasons for giving up coffee are diverse but there is a common theme. Coffee, including *decaf* coffee, contains caffeine, a drug that produces a burst of 'biochemical' reactions that create stress in the body. The adrenal glands pump out a host of 'hormones' that elevate stress for up to 18 hours after consumption. The liver releases higher amounts of " sugar " and " fat " into the blood-stream. The pancreas produces insulin to remove the excess blood sugar and store it as fat that creates a blood sugar " rollercoaster " . Muscle tension is increased. The blood vessels constrict reducing the flow of oxygen to important areas like your brain (up to 30%) and your extremities. Digestion and the immune system are 'impaired' or 'suppressed'. The production of DHEA and other 'anti-aging' hormones is decreased. What are the results of increased stress from coffee consumption on a day in and day out basis? For a full comprehension of the problems caused by coffee drinking and caffeine consumption, we highly recommend the book Caffeine Blues by Stephen Cherniske (Warner Books, 1998) Well written and easy to read, Caffeine Blues will help you understand the health consequences of caffeine addiction. Additionally, Cherniske, a nutritional biochemist, gives you a complete nutritional program to help you recover your own natural energy. If you're ready to reduce or eliminate caffeine from your diet, go to Quitting Caffeine Painlessly for tips on how to wean yourself off of caffeine. Then read our testimonials from doctors and people who have successfully given up coffee. Protect the Gift of Good Health As many coffee drinkers have discovered, you never know the myriad of ways that coffee is affecting you until you quit. Your body is like a sophisticated laboratory that specializes in one thing: you. If you listen carefully, it will tell you exactly what it needs. But it is hard to hear its signals if it is stressed out by stimulants. You may be experiencing pains and discomforts you would never imagine were caused by caffeine until they miraculously disappear after you quit coffee. The body's reaction to the toxicity of coffee can vary so greatly that you have to discover how it is uniquely affecting you. Look for improvements in your digestion, sleep, mood, energy and skin among others. Don't be surprised if three months after quitting coffee you discover you feel better than you've felt in years and your energy supply stays steady all day long.
