Yes, it is true. I am off the wagon... |
|
I began drinking coffee again. SO much for my no caffeine policy. After 1 month of miserableness, I am back on.
Please help me.

Help you how?
I quit drinking caffeine for years, back when I was bothering to make an effort to be healthy. Then I gave up. :D

Stress was one cause, Caffeine was another. I should be stronger, but I am not. No caffeine dropped my blood pressure significantly. I am killing myself with caffeine, and I am dying without it... I can't win.

Did you try it? Tastes much the same...
Sorry to hear about your blood pressure... do you exercise? Meditate? Eat a low-salt diet?
There are a lot of things that can affect your blood pressure... hope you can find a lifestyle change that works for you. Good luck!

I started drinking that when I gave up caffeine last year. Seemed to help. Natural sugar to overcome the loss of energy.

so does decaffeinated. It has 50% of the caffeine.
It does NOT have no caffeine, just 50% less.

Sorry.
I drink regular, and then drink no other caffeine all day long. So.

How can they say it's "de"caffeinated if it still has half?
