It's a foggy autumn here...while reading your post, I've been enjoying the single cup of coffee I allow myself per day! I'm sure others might disagree and chime in, especially considering the acidity problem, and I understand that. But I eat very healthily, and the one cup helps keep me going because I don't feel I'm depriving myself of every single pleasure.
Here's what I've found personally: As long as I stick to 1 cup of organic filter coffee (very important, as the non-organic brands are super-high in heavy metals), I do fine. I add unsweetened organic coconut milk or almond milk (or even a dash of organic milk, preferably raw goat's milk). No sweetening. Some folks use a bit of stevia. Whatever you do, avoid agave syrup. Nasty stuff - you can google the dangers.
It helps to have your coffee after breakfast, as your blood sugar will remain stable.
I would avoid coffee if I had blood-sugar issues or adrenal issues, which many have. (You'll feel jittery and wired, and it's tough on the adrenals.) As for the barley in Pero, I'd avoid it, as it's a grain/starch.
Hope this helps! Blessings and a peaceful week to you. |
