Why You Should Quit Coffee ? - The Health Benefits of Quitting Caffeine

Рет қаралды 209,022

Coffee is known as the magical cure that solves all problems and headaches in the morning. However, it doesn’t come without a cost, and there is nothing such as ‘free energy’.
In this video, I explain the reasons why you should consider quitting coffee (the health benefits) as well as what led me to take this decision myself.

Never been depressed in my life & it’s such a dark scary place. Cherry on top of the cake was 1st ever severe panic attack, I thought I’m going to die hence ended up in the ER. For reference I had 1 cup of Nespresso a day, very occasionally 2. This love & hate relationship is done! I quit cold turkey. The withdrawal was brutal & felt never ending … But finally after a while I see improvement in my sleep, mood and overall health. 🌱 Wasted 15 years of my life feeling anxious, jittery, & depressed 💔

I quit coffee 2 years ago and I wished I never drank coffee in my life. I am 57 now and my head starts shaking after drinking 1 coffee only. That started 2 years ago. I had my suspicion already on many problems I had described in this video but nobody supported me in that. So I started experimenting myself with longer (1 month) and shorter periods (few days) without coffee. The results became more and more clear to me. My wife forbid me sometimes to try more. Than I sneekly drank some coffee because of the cravings. But than my wife saw I had tremblings with my head and told me I was sneekly drinking coffee again. I never experienced the tremblings after quitting completely. But even after 2 years if I try to drink one coffee or coke only the tremblings come back including depression and all other bad stuff. For me coffee is a delicious poison. Just giving a short boost. But making things worse on the long run. Drinking Tulsi sleeping tea and vitamins and minerals to support my adrenals and life is so much better now. I lost weight, and I am more alert and happy than with the black stuff, no thanks.

Just to follow up this story. I observed that my adrenalin was depleted, taking adrenal supporting supplements helped. I also started taking extra magnesium before bed. And I observed that I was depleted in Vit B1 especially the water soluble version called thiamine. Because it was already few weeks frequently peeing at night. I took a test for my prostate and uti. But the doctors could not find anything. Accidentally I saw a video from doctor Berg explaining about peeing at night because of short on Vit B1. Benfotamine and thiamine. I looked up my diet and found my intake of B1 was 0. I don't eat sea fruit or pork, nor any other that contained Thiamin. I start eating lentils and added supplements. Since then I start to get OK. No more peeing at night and my blood pressure start to lower also.

@penniroyal4398 Жыл бұрын

Switch to decaf or drink dark roast coffee: the darker the roast the lower the caffeine level. Light roast has the most caffeine. You can also drink green tea. Blonde roast coffee and green teas do have health benefits. Look it up and learn how to manage caffeine. It’s like sugar if you eat a giant candy bar every day it’s not good, but a little square of dark chocolate (with your espresso) can be a treat with health benefits.

For the past 6 years, I believed I had ADHD, depression and bipolar, but it turns out it was the coffee all along. I used to consume Starbucks coffee daily which I had like 300 mg caffeine per cup, because I believed it would make me productive. But the more I drank, the more I became worse at my job. Looking back, things took a bit for the worse ever since I got addicted to that first cup. Reducing my caffeine was like my eyes opened to the reality after all these years. I want to stop it but I am still physiologically dependent on it. It's crazy how the negative effects of caffiene aren't talked much. I believe everything needs to be in moderation including coffee, but I wonder with the long cue I see at Starbucks, how many people are actually drinking in moderation.

I used to have 3 cups of strong black coffee everyday till 3 weeks ago. A day before I completely quit drinking coffee, my nose started twiching. I called up one of my relatives who is a doctor to find out the reason - he quickly pointed out that it is 'too much' coffee. I quit the next day! First three days were terrible but then I started feeling more energetic and positive. Then I thought no harm in having a small cup per day so I had it yesterday and it was a bad decision, felt terrible - I was anxious, lost focus on my work. I AM NOT GOING TO DRINK IT AGAIN, NEVER!!🙂🙂

Coffee causes a great and I reiterate great disruption on hormones. It affects every single hormone and affects all the adrenal glands and endocrine glands like the pituitary, hypothalamus, thymus, thyroid, and elevates the propensity of developing many conditions like diabetes which is a oxygen stealer. DIABETES disables the bodies oxygen absorption causing body parts to die starting with the limbs. Coffee also keeps the body constantly dehydrated and this in the long run is not good. It also damages skin cells and dna. It also makes the skin look horrible by breaking down elastin and collagen. After all this there is nothing absolutely no benefit from drinking coffee. And those that tout the benefits are affiliated with big Coffee. Don't believe the lies quit now because the body is a marvelous system that can correct everything but we need to help it and take care of it. Our bodies are our house. That's where we live once we mess up our house we live in it's game over and you don't get another chance.

An hour after, i start feeling weird, intrusive thoughts, extremely high anxiety, too much self awareness of every move in my body and thought pattern. I had always a level of anxiety so i always told myself thats the reason. What i did noticed later on is in the days when I don't drink coffee i feel much more clear in my head, my body movements are more align, no brain fog, a type of calmness that im really not used to. Personally in my case i believe its not just the caffeine but also gluten that causes me severe inflammation. Al that i mentioned above are actually an inflammation in the brain.

Videos like yours, with such important and helpful information, make quitting that much easier. It's scary to know how normalized caffeine has become in our society, which is one of the main reasons it's been so difficult to quit in the past.

i have a question. I have been a heavy Caffeine addict for most of my life. intaking over 1000mg per day of caffeine and countless MG of sugar upwards of 800 or more. I started having health problems due to the heavy caffeine intake such as Anxiety Panic attacks foggy headed light headed Confusion Weight Gain Extreme Irritation and moodyness So far im 23 days into quitting but that has caused its own set of issues and im wondering if this is normal. 23 days of either light or severe headaches. The one thing that is confusing me is my jaw and teeth. Since I quit Caffeine for 23 days now I have had tooth and jaw aching randomly throughout the day. I have already been to the dentist and they see no issues and when I told them it started about a week AFTER I quit Caffeine they told me they have never heard of this before but a buddy of mine who quit said his teeth hurt alot after quitting and took along awhile to stop hurting and he had to drink a little soda to stop his teeth from aching. I dont know if i feel better or worse off the Caffeine at this moment but I really want to quit for good. a Few years ago I OD'd on Caffeine and has a series of mini heart attacks but I never learned and went even harder on the Caffeine so im dedicated to quitting. P:S. I have also noticed I literally have no appetite no more. I am never hungry anymore I bought an exercise bike to start working out to get healthy again so im looking forward to a healthier future

I recently discovered what was causing my stress and anxiety and always feeling extremely frustrated by any little thing that won't go my way. I used to drink a Venti size Pike Coffee in the morning and sometimes I would switch it up to a Trenta Cold Brew, unknowingly making my anxiety worse and triggering the fight-or-flight response, leading to increased heart rate, blood pressure, and cortisol levels. If you are feeling overly anxious or stressed, consider quitting coffee do it for yourself and your loved ones around you because they suffer too.

1 more fact about cortisol is the fact that inhibits weight loss when high. When people are stressed and try to work out, it won't work if their stress levels are high. If you know anyone who works out regularly, and they don't seem to be making progress, simply ask them if they've been stressing out or drinking coffee regularly.

My approach considers the health efficacy of a certain religious practice regarding what foods and beverages to consume. The LDS community has been practicing prohibition on Coffee, as well as Tea, alcohol, and tobacco for nearly 200 years. I thought it would be interesting to compare the practice with research from modern studies and see how it holds up. It actually does so, very well. I hope you'll have a look. Thanks again.

Yes, we drink coffee after dinner (and all day long). Take this from a non-doctor, non-expert ... I have learnt to listen to your body (You said that yourself too :) ). It knows better that all the doctors on earth. I sometimes eat watermelon and bread to breakfast, other times eggs and tomato, other times nothing. Every morning I give to my body what it asks for. I am over 40, and I have to show my ID in alcohol shops. Let alone I have always heard that I look much younger than 40. I sleep max 4-5 hours a day! I am cheerful and happy and I do not take life seriously, but I do have plans and work hard. I do my best to stay away from all the information, because it decreases your time for other meaningful stuff! This discussion of coffee good or bad is LONG discussion and has been around for years, especially in BBC. Religious people, especially Muslims and Christians used coffee to "be able" to copy and recite their holy books. When I sit with my cup of coffee, it feels like meditation and I feel joy! I do not drink it for energy or to work hard. It is a time with myself. When I also feel for it, I smoke a cigarr and just leave the planet earth and enjoy a moment under the sun or in the veranda listening to the rain. What really can destroy your health is stress and your state of mind, not coffee, not certain food and not certain habits... Peace and stay joyful!

I have a friend who does what you describe: says he can drink multiple cups and fall fast asleep. A genetic assessment finds I have almost all of the genes that code for high caffeine sensitivity - also known as slow caffeine metabolism. That means, when I consume caffeine, it takes far, far longer for the caffeine to clear from my body. That means it has its effects over a longer period of time, and a 2nd cup just piles on top of the caffeine that is still circulating in my body. This is likely why some people can consume coffee readily while some of us cannot.

Studying in an organized and systematized way whatever happens to a population that consumes coffee or not, is science in essence. On the other hand, what I question is to assume as a dogma what is published in scientific journals, this is my point. We ought to keep a skeptical attitude toward the conclusions drawn in prior research, otherwise we can’t deal with science boundaries and we’ll miss the chance of discovering new knowledge. There are good scientific evidences that supports coffee consumption as well as other studies evidence it’s better to leave coffee consumption. It’s interesting when we present this kind of information, to discuss and analyze the experimental setting that leads researchers to draw such conclusions.

I stopped drinking coffee 2 days ago and feeling better already. I was just drinking for fun until I realized it was not fun anymore :)

I swear on my mother's grave when I quit caffeine, and I mean all caffeine, no chocolate, no teas, no green teas, I wanted 0 caffeine in my body, the next 2 days I woke up with a rock hard erection, I hadn't had morning wood in years, this was all the proof I need that caffeine was terrible for me

I drink one cup of black coffee everyday not because I want caffeine, in fact I am very caffeine sensitive so anymore than one cup and I'll get way too anxious, but for the health benefits of the antioxidants it has and I love the aroma.

For me I do the same, but with green tea... tons of health benefits with far less caffeine than coffee. But IMO it doesn't taste or smell so good, haha. (but been sticking with this routine now for over 5 years)

How long does caffeine last in the human body? “The effects of caffeine can be felt as soon as 15 minutes after it is consumed. The level of caffeine in your blood peaks about one hour later and stays at this level for several hours for most people. Six hours after caffeine is consumed, half of it is still in your body. It can take up to 10 hours to completely clear caffeine from your bloodstream.”

Caffeine is good. Make 1-2months break for caffeine so it hit you better and you can restore caffeine levels. But keep drinking - it is good for over all health and mind.

Hello Soukaina, I've been exploring my life and health with the idea that coffee may not be so good for me! This last month has been very interesting. Tonight I was exploring on the internet and found you. Thank you, I think I've found my people!

What about decaf coffee? Would it still be bad? It has just a small amount of caffeine compared to regular coffee.

@soukainakanice 11 ай бұрын

Decaf is a good alternative, make sure it’s organic and good quality 😊

My mom is in the 50s and drink more then 3 cup of coffee a day. And she is healthy.. most importantly always drink water especially before going bed. To me sodas and alcohol are more surgery Coffee are healthy just don’t over drink it and be hydrated ❤

I'm on the fence about doing it this. I'm on day 1 without coffee not feeling so good. On a side note I been sugar and processed carb free for two years with daily intermittent fasting. I start trying to reduce coffee to one cup a day until I run out and then try quitting.

Do you recommend a slow decrease untill no longer using coffee or cold turkey?

@soukainakanice Жыл бұрын

I recommend a slow decrease, I have a whole video that explains how to quit coffee with minimal withdrawal symptoms. Here’s the link if you are interested : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rrtnfcyLxM-Vcn0.html

Nothing mentioned about magnesium depletion. Some consider it a myth, though.

Great video. Very informative. Thank you allowing us to come to our own conclusion. I am a working progress. I will work on reduction of my caffeine intake. What would you suggest as an alternative to coffee? I drink it more for the taste.

@soukainakanice 2 жыл бұрын

As an alternative I drink chicory root or decaf matcha, check the description box for more alternatives. You got this!
