A few months back, I noticed that my coffee consumption had increased. I realized it because at times I felt palpitations, anxiety, and tightness in my chest on the days I drank too much caffeine. Since I absolutely love coffee and I plan to continue drinking it, I had to come up with a quick solution to the problem. I decided to drink the strongest, caffeinated dose in the morning, and the rest of the day, if I want additional cups, I drink decaf and water it down.
Since caffeine is a diuretic and it dehydrates, I make it a point to drink one full glass of water for every cup of coffee, caffeinated and decaffeinated, I have during the day. It is so important to stay hydrated! I do the same thing when I drink alcohol. For every cocktail or glass of wine, I drink one full glass of water. Adding more water has helped me a lot. I feel more energized and my skin looks suppler, even after all the coffee. If you are like me, and coffee is one of those pleasures that make you smile every morning, feel free to drink it, but don't forget to stay hydrated.
I hope you can make good use of these tips. See you soon when I post again here on POPSUGAR Latina. Lots of love!
