Our recent adventures in more holistic medicine have led us down the garden green path of giving up coffee. Or more honestly, giving up coffee on most days. Irrespective of the immediate daily benefits I feel, such as the unexpected increase in energy and mental acuity, I'm equally driven to stick with this with all of the health evidence I've delved into. This article in particular has given me additional willpower to focus on this previously unthinkable challenge during these first few weeks. Not only am I inspired by Dr. Joseph Maroon's passion and lifestyle, but the logic as well as simplicity of his theory are uncomplicated adjustments to make. While I'll never be able to give up coffee altogether, I'm staying strong and have adopted Dr. Maroon's 3 cup-a-day habit, as well as buying green tea in bulk.
Funnily enough in this case, I've found that change is not only a constant but it's such a remarkable refreshment. Swapping my bean habit with tea bags has been cheaper, and it also means that any time I've had a cappuccino since I've been much more appreciative of the flavour. And, in fairness, I really enjoy that (forbidden) chocolate topping, too. Since reacquainting ourselves with the teapot, I've been reaching for these two Dilmah Jasmine varieties, one and two, and my preferred afternoon indulgence is their Moroccan Mint blend of green. That said, as I continue with this I'm looking to explore new flavours, so please if you know of any other types or brands that make lovely tea of any kind, I'm open to any sort you suggest!
And a final side note, it's probably not allowed but I would definitely recommend trying green tea gelato. The semi-sweet flavour is so good and you'll still be turning over that new leaf. I'm sure that pun is definitely what the Doctor ordered, too. And while I think of it, I love Sonya's post on healthy changes; it's a treasure trove of uplifting ideas.
