Why not to drink coffee when you first wake up

Whilst you are sleeping your body is essentially fasting. Waking up and having a coffee first thing sets off the adrenal system (fight or flight), setting your body into overdrive & causing you to crash later.

Having a lemon + hot water (careful not too hot or it can destroy your tooth enamel) or a bone broth (will explain more about bone broths soon!) first thing would be a far nicer way to wake your body up!

Citrus flavours stimulate the digestive system, getting it going before you’ve had your breakfast.

If you’re going to drink coffee, try have it 30-60 minutes before or after eating anything. Coffee blocks a lot of nutrients, minerals, vitamins from what we eat being able to be absorbed if consumed with food.
