How to get rid of caffeine dependence and use of coffee for strategic purposes

I love coffee. No, I love coffee. And if quite frankly, I really, really, really love coffee. I love it not only for an invigorating effect, but also for the taste, the smell of coffee and talk. Yes, I - kofegolik. I do not drink more than two cups a day, but if you miss your morning coffee, I get the feeling that I missed something. Dependency and addiction appears not only in my taste buds, but also the brain. Accordingly, such an effect of vivacity, as if I saw it the first time, I did not get. But it is fixable.

Do you drink coffee, you feel a surge of vitality, then your activity is on the decline - it is very easy and natural. But caffeine is not so simple, and if you understand the intricacies of its action on the brain, you can learn to use the magic wand more effectively.

We start all over again

The easiest way - is to start your relationship with coffee from scratch. That is, stop to drink coffee and give your body a little breather.

Try for 10 days to gradually reduce the number of cups drunk gradually reducing them to zero.

Of course, no less important in this case, and your biological features. You may need much more time (maybe less).

Learning to adjust

After general anesthesia often appears killer headache. The best rescue in this case may be postoperative cup of coffee.

He is very similar to adenosine, Which plays an important role in promoting sleep and wakefulness and suppression sensor is a kind of exhaustion. Caffeine blocks the receptors of the body that signal the brain fatigue, and you get the desired effect from coffee vigor.

So if you already spend a second sleepless night and constantly drink coffee, the effect of its use is reduced.

That is you and the rest, and wake up refreshed immediately. The ideal option before exams or important project. But still a long time so you do not soak, and sooner or later you fall into a deep sleep with a minimum length per day.

But what if you, like me, most in coffee not only its effect on the body? If you want to enjoy the smell and taste of coffee, you can easily order a decaf.

And when you really need to cheer for the big bang, a cup of coffee will have a much stronger effect than the usual dozens of cups of coffee before that;)
