Why what you drink for breakfast impacts your day… give your body the boost it needs!

It's as simple as squeezing a couple of oranges, ditch the coffee and say hello to sunshine.......

This is me 2 years without coffee and there's no going back

What's so great about orange juice?.....

1. Filled with nutrients and minerals, potassium, magnesium, vitamin B6, beta carotene, folic acid and calcium.

2. It can reduce levels of bad cholesterol, blood pressure and prevent cardiovascular problems.

3. Has healing properties, contains vitamin C for boosting your immune system and fighting colds.

4. Soluble fiber and hydrating, helps to keep your body balanced.

5. Reduces thyroid hormonal levels, supports your adrenals, making you feel less stressed.

6. Packed with energy, healthy sugars that wake you up.

7. Drinking it for breakfast can act as an anti inflammatory agent.

8. Refreshing, clears the palette and dry mouth sensation from cannabis use.

9. It's orange season in Europe now, so why not bring a bit of sunshine to your morning routine, bright colors lift the mood, in these dark months.

But why isn't coffee a good choice in the morning?

1. No nutrients. Coffee does not contain calories, protein or fiber.

2. Feeling fatigue. Even though coffee perks you up, later you will feel a crash and probably need another coffee, depriving your body of more nutrients.

3. Mood swings. Although it lifts your mood at first, your body is still lacking in nutrients and eventually your blood sugar level drips, making you irritable.

4. Weight Gain. It suppresses appetite temporarily, making you more likely to skip breakfast, this means higher chances of sugar cravings or high fat foods later in the day.
   (last thing you need on a diet!)

5. Diuretic. If you drink only coffee in the morning you are passing more fluid, making you feel dehydrated, and low in energy quite quickly.

6. coffee and cannabis are not a great combo, especially if you burn/smoke (combustion) and use tobacco, causes added stress to the adrenal glands.

If you love your coffee too much to give it up completely, try saving it for later in the day when you need a pick me up after a heavy lunch and you need to get back to work.

This coffee was made by me when I worked at a bistro, I never quite perfected coffee art.

Drinking coffee was another matter altogether, it was one of my big addictions, I use to be groggy, irritable and clumsy until I had my morning coffee. I would also make several more cups during the day, In the end I knew it wasn't good for me. The only way I could kick my habit was to replace the drink with something else, like herbal teas and healthy juices. Now I wake up energetic and ready for anything.

I'd like to know more about your addictions, please let me know here.....

Please note that it is recommended to drink orange juice with some breakfast. If you don't have much time in the morning, grab a banana, an avocado or a piece of wholemeal or non wheat toast. Eating something no matter how small it is better than nothing.
