Hello James, glad to hear you are feeling better. I always look at the times when I am sick as a great opportunity to drop a bad eating/drinking habit. It's a great way to start implementing a better/healthier lifestyle. Last year, when I had a stomach virus, I had zero desire for just about anything, especially coffee - which I probably was abusing. It was a great time to change over to grean tea without any drawbacks of caffeine withdrawal. It lasted for a while, and I saw some benefits of not drinking coffee. Then one morning I woke up with a craving for some DD French Vanilla coffee, yada, yada, yada, I can't remember what green tea even looks like anymore.
I slowly decreased the amount of regular coffee with decaf. Every so often, I'll still drink a cup of regular coffee, but it doesn't have the same effect it once did.
I also don't drink soda, or any other caffiene drinks. Overall, I like the feeling of life without being caffinated!

ReplyDeleteI've been caffiene free since April.

Yes, James, glad you're feeling better. My son has just gotten over the flu--he was miserable and missed several days of school.
ReplyDeleteHopefully it was the H1N1, that way you'll be over it. Drink lots of Gatorade.
