Didn't you feel hurt? Maybe you felt angry, maybe you wanted to get even and stab them back, hurt them the way they hurt you? You trusted them. You thought they were your friend. Didn't you wish somebody told you the truth, tell you who they really were? Didn't you wish, no matter how painful the truth, that somebody told you what they were up to?
Maybe you wouldn't believe them at first: "No waaaaay, he/she is my friend! They could not possibly do this and say that about me!" Some of us don't, until we find out the painful way. And then, right then we wished somebody did tell us. We wished we believed...
What if I told you that YOU DO have that one "friend" who is slowly killing you behind your back? A "friend" who tells you all the nice things in your face, but in truth is your deadly enemy?
What if I told you, that this "friend":
-seems to be super helpful throughout the day
-appears to help wake you up in the morning, when you're just dragging your feet
-seems to create 'good times', especially when you're social
-seems to lift you up when you feel burned out
-'gives' you energy to get going and to workout
What's wrong with that, you say? Cool friend, we need more friends like this. But what if I told you this "friend" also:
-works behind our back to make you look uglier and older
-will also keep you up all night depriving you of sleep
-secretly sucks juices out of you
-can be a literal pain in the head
-contributes to your early death in a long run
If you haven't guess it yet, yes, your beloved "friend" coffee is really your enemy. It's playing a good friend in your face, but does a lot of destructive works behind your back. If you believe that coffee is good for you, well I have news for you. Coffee has betrayed you a long time ago! It's playing the "good friend" act on you and will continue to do so, and you buy into its lies and deceptions. As long as you continue to give it your 'unconditional love' it will continue to pull wool over your eyes! Wake up! Here is what your "friend" really does for you:
1. It dehydrates you. It sucks water out of your body. It sucks around 6 glasses of water out of you for every one cup of coffee you drink. Are you prepared to drink 6 glasses of water for every cup of coffee just to stay even?
2. It makes you old and ugly. Because it sucks so much water out of you, it makes your skin dry and prone to getting premature wrinkles. It may even cause skin irritations due to presence of Acetic Acid.
3. It creates grounds for diseases. Coffee is super acidic, and a body that is acidic can not be healthy. Healthy bodies have alkaline environment. It also raises blood pressure, creates a higher risk of a heart attack, it may give you headaches, cause incontinence, give indigestion and has the ability to keep you up at night. It brings your immune system down, so you have harder time fighting seasonal flus and colds. All this, just for you.
4. It's addictive. It means you need it, you can't go without it, you're chained to your personal caffeine jail. You think you're free and can do what you want when you want? If you're starting your days with coffee, try to it with just water. Your coffee "friend" will be calling you soon!
5. It can even act like a drug altering your behavior. Steven E. Meredith of The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, quoted by Medical News Today said:
"Unlike most other psychoactive substances, caffeine use is socially acceptable, and the drug is widely used. In fact, caffeine is the most commonly used psychoactive substance in the world."
"Caffeine activates many of the same behavioral and neuropharmacological mechanisms that are activated by other reinforcers, including other drugs of abuse."
Sooooo.... my "friend" can make me act like a psychotic druggie??? Ouch!
6. Basically, your "friend" speeds up your clock's ticker. Mayo Clinic partnered study showed that men drinking more than 4 cups of coffee have 21% increase in death. "But I drink less than 4 cups!" So you do, and just watch those cups add up over weeks, months, years.
Face it, your "friend" wants you UGLY, SICK and DEAD.
Think about it.
So it makes you more energetic in the gym, while making your face looking like a withered raisin at the same time.
So it wakes you up in the morning while keeping you up half the night.
So it picks you up at 4pm, while making you that much more susceptible to illnesses and diseases.
I say ditch that "friend" as soon as you can, and get yourself some real friends for a change.
XOXO
