Coffee is one of the most consumed beverages in the world (second only to tea). It can inspire true passion, to the point that some people can't live without their cup of coffee.
Others love the taste but it often doesn't sit too well with them.
Is coffee not for everyone? Are we drinking it wrong? Read this article. to find out whether or not coffee is for you.
The Nervous System can be divided into the Central Nervous System (CNS) formed by the brain and the organs closest to it and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) formed by the nerves and neurons that are found outside the central nervous system.
The PNS is in turn divided between the Sympathetic Nervous System (which is not at all nice since it is responsible for regulating activation responses, when we have to fight or run for example) and he Parasympathetic Nervous System which is responsible for returning to a state of balance and conservation after activation of the sympathetic system, digestion, rest and repair.
There are very few people who have a good balance between these two systems.
Almost all of us have one of the two overactivated and knowing which way the balance leans, Help to be able to take action to seek balance and gives us clues about which foods and drinks are good for us (including coffee).
If you want to know which of the two systems predominates in you answer these 5 questions:
1) Do you not digest red meat well or do you take a long time to digest it?
2) Does saturated fat make you sick?
3) Do you not digest well if you have dinner late?
4) If you eat late at night, do you have trouble sleeping?
5) Do you wake up easily at night?
If you answered yes to any of these 5 questions, your sympathetic nervous system is predominant. And this has a lot to do with whether coffee makes you feel good or bad.
The ideal pH of your blood is 7.46.
People who have a predominance of the Sympathetic Nervous System tend to have a pH closer to 7.55 - 7.60.
When drinking coffee this pH tends to regulate itself, approaching 7.46. That's why many people feel so good when drinking coffee, because Helpto balance your pH.
On the contrary, people who have a predominance of the Parasympathetic Nervous System tend to have a pH closer to 7.31, so drinking coffee further deregulates the pH of the blood.
If you want to learn more about how what you eat affects you, we recommend the book by Dr Watson "Nutrition and Your Mind".
He performed many blood measurements on psychiatric patients, concluding that abalance in nutrition was behind many mental problems.
Is that why so many people are crazy about coffee? 😜
Regardless of where your Autonomic Nervous System leans, your genes matter a lot.
Even if your Sympathetic Nervous System is more activated, coffee may not agree with you.
The CYP1A2 gene is responsible for metabolizing caffeine. Depending on the variant you have, you'll metabolize caffeine quickly or slowly. Rapid metabolizers are those who can drink a lot of coffee and still feel good.
If, on the other hand, you metabolize it slowly, coffee probably won't agree with you, or if you drink too much of it, you'll feel very nervous, excited, or your blood pressure may even rise.
If your nervous system is predominantly sympathetic, but not too sympathetic, you may be able to tolerate a cup of coffee a day.
If you have answered yes to many of the questions we have asked or simply If you already know that coffee doesn't agree with you too much, we have good news for you.
You can add a tablespoon of our Keto Creamer. Helpwill counteract the effect of caffeine, giving you a state of calmA-alertness thanks to L-theanine. You'll also gain more focus and energy thanks to MCTs, fatty acids your brain loves and that can't be converted into fat.
It's an easy way to improve your coffee, whether you're not feeling well and want to avoid caffeine spikes, or you're a dedicated coffee drinker who wants to enjoy your coffee even more.
It gives an extra touch of creaminess and does not break the fast.
