7 Reasons to Quit Coffee
1. The caffeine in coffee increases stress hormones. The stress response elicits cortisol and increases insulin.
2. Drinking coffee habitually decreases insulin sensitivity. This makes difficult for your cells to respond appropriately to blood sugar.
3. Unfiltered coffee has the highest amount of beneficial antioxidants yet also leaks the most diterpenes into your system. These diterpenes have been linked to higher levels of triglycerides, LDL and VLDL levels.
4. The helpful chlorogenic acids that may delay glucose absorption in the intestine have also been shown to increase homocysteine levels.
5. Coffee is incredibly acidic. The acidity is associated with digestive discomfort, indigestion, heartburn, GERD, and dysbiosis.
6. Addiction is often an issue with coffee drinkers and makes it really difficult to rely on the body’s natural source of energy.
7. Constituents in coffee can interfere with normal drug metabolism and detoxification in the liver, making it difficult to regulate the normal detoxification process in the liver.
