Have you decided to quit coffee? Try these alternatives

Have you finally decided to quit coffee because you are concerned about your blood pressure, disturbed sleep patterns, or other health problems?

If you, like up to 20% of the population in the Western world, have IBS, you have probably learned that coffee is a trigger. Surprisingly, decaf coffee is also a trigger. It’s not just caffeine that stimulates your gut. Coffee contains an enzyme that irritates the digestive tract.

You love the taste and the whole experience of coffee, but you know that coffee doesn’t suit you.

The decision has been made … but you miss that morning experience … the warm, rich taste, texture and aroma … the way it feels when it strokes your tongue and slides down your throat.

Coffee substitutes may be the answer for you.

Grains, nuts, vegetables, and fruits form the base of many coffee-like beverages. They can be roasted, steeped or boiled to extract the substances that are used to produce a final dry product that is mixed with hot water or prepared like regular ground coffee.

Here are some substitutes that might be worth trying.
