I have some bad things to tell you about coffee, yet I love the stuff, and have a hard time leaving it alone expecially when I'm tired in the mornings. I have no problem quitting it. I've done it hundreds of times. Of coarse!
A friend had a finger sawn off a while ago, and when the surgeons repair healed very rapidly the surgeon asked him if he knew why and told him his blood oxygen was wonderfully high. He's a runner, a bit over 65 years old, and he doesn't drink coffee. The medico told him the reasons for his high blood oxygen is running and no coffee. If you don't know it yet, high blood oxygen really puts the hurts on almost all sickness problems.
Enter this heavy coffee drinker. I've been VERY short winded for at least the last 15 years and suffer a lot of muscle pain after doing heavy work, like wood cutting in the high country, where the air is thin. I tried dropping coffee (like I said it's easy.) , drinking lots of clean water to flush out the cafene and the pain and shortwindedness went away within a couple of days. I still get out of wind when climbing, especially with a professional chainsaw in my hands, but I don't have to stop and gasp every few steps. I can just plod steadily uphill to the destination, rarely stopping for wind, and I'm a bood 15 years older than when my shortwindedness began to bother me! At almost 72, that is a VERY critical 15 years, far more so than say 40 to 55!
After being off coffee for a couple of weeks I started drinking a cup in the morning if I find it hard to get moving, but pretty much restrickt it to one cup per day. A one pint cup, rich but not strong by many peoples standards. And my wind has stayed good.
If you are hooked on it and don't want to have to leave a dear stand to pee every half hour, try eating the grounds, dry, or flushing them down with water. One rounded teaspone will hold me a whole day as if I had drank coffee a couple of times. The reason why this works, I believe, and I'm very studied on body chemistry, is that the acids are neutrilized in the grounds once they hit the small intestine, which they will reach rather rapidly when taken with a good dose of water. Gall from the gall bladder is injected into the small intestine whenever acedic contents are poured out from the stomach. Whereas, when we drink brrewed coffee the high acid content is absorbed with the water carrying it, directly from the stomach walls into the blood, causing, acidec blood, which cancer and other such thrive on, and the buring need to urinate freequently. By the way, the reason I had so much muscle pain is from excessive coffee acisd laid up in the tissue.
Remember when I told you to swallow the grounds, I DID not say it was a culinary treat! Just remember, I did say that I did not say it was a culinary treat! Just try it when you need the boost of coffee but don't want to get off the freeway, or out of a tree stand every hafl hour to drain the pain.
