Three Things to Keep Out of Your Coffee

Coffee is a staple in many people’s morning routines, but some additives can zap your energy levels and cause negative side effects.

Here are three things to avoid putting in your coffee if you’re looking to avoid the jitters and crash.

Artificial Sweeteners – Artificial sweeteners like aspartame and sucralose can lead to a host of unpleasantries–some people with sensitivities may experience headaches and digestive problems. Instead of artificial sweeteners, try adding natural sweeteners such as honey or maple syrup.

Creamers – Creamers often contain ingredients like hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup which may lead to weight gain and other health issues. Instead of creamers, try adding almond milk or coconut milk for a creamy texture without the added sugar.

Flavored Syrups – Flavored syrups may taste good, but they are packed with sugar and artificial ingredients. Instead of flavored syrups, try adding fresh fruit or spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg for a natural flavor boost without all the added sugar.

If you’re looking for an energy boost without the caffeine jitters, there are plenty of healthy alternatives to coffee that can give you the same pick-me-up without all the negative side effects. Some great options include matcha tea, golden milk lattes, chicory coffee, apple cider vinegar drinks, fresh juices and smoothies, and kombucha drinks or herbal teas.

Chiropractic care is another great way to naturally boost energy levels by helping your body function as designed!
