Anyone else have a love/hate relationship with caffeinated beverages🥲☕️ here are some tips on avoiding the dreaded caffeine crash⤵️

• Don’t have too much. If you can keep caffeine down to one cup of coffee or tea a day, then it probably isn’t a problem. There’s no issue if you’re having a little for the sake of habit.

• If you’re someone who loves things like energy drinks or takes pre-workout before every workout, I suggest cycling off of it for a bit. Yes, you may get symptoms such as a headache or exhaustion for the first couple of days. This is better than continuing to up your intake and adjusting to that, eventually becoming used to having way too much.

• Don’t take your coffee black. While there are many fitness and health gurus that are going to tell you to take your coffee black because it’s 0 calories or won’t break your fast… I disagree. It’s good to balance it out with some healthy fats and protein so that you aren’t just consuming just coffee. I like to add in some collagen, milk, butter, and cinnamon. This allows it to be more nourishing and likely to be an actual energy boost, rather than just a quick synthetic one from the caffeine alone.

• If you can, treat it as a delicacy. At the end of the day, many would benefit from reducing or cutting out caffeine completely. The regular dependence on that cup of coffee or scoop of pre-workout may be what’s making you tired throughout the rest of the day. It could be affecting your sleep schedule or stress response. Heck, it may help lower your blood pressure if that’s something that you deal with! It’s good to treat it as a delicacy especially if you feel out of balance with your health.
