Avoid Caffeine

For stress-free easy way through the day avoid caffeine in the fall we tend to have a hard time adjusting as the summer days are gone and the days become very short and the nights longer, this tends to make most of us lean for our trigger food of caffeine.

The caffeine gives us a false sense of happiness and we tend to lean on it. If we don’t get it then we react sometimes in a moody way or worse having actual physical pain such as headaches or queasiness. Try to limit your coffee to one cup a day. For an added boost drink water with lemon or cucumber.

Drinking too much coffee can also stain your teeth you may notice when you reduce your intake and drink less Joe you may get brighter teeth so your dentist will be happy and so will you.
