Say no to your next cup of Joe 🚫☕️

Joe is a slang name for “the common man”, such as the term "Average Joe" The first usage of “Joe” in this instance appeared in the English lexicon around 1846. Hence, a “cup of Joe” is the “common man’s drink. ^{^Source}

Coffee has been popularized in a big way. Even kids are drinking it these days, but is that a bad thing? That is exactly what I have decided to discuss in today's video.

There are 5 Starbucks coffee shops within 15 minutes of where I live, so I know there will be a lot of coffee lovers who hate this video. Too bad, I'm allowed to have my own opinion. Although I have downed a lot of coffee in my adult life, I am proud to say that I haven't consumed any at all in many months.

Some say that avoiding coffee is too hard. It gives them energy, suppresses their appetite, or they simply love the taste. The taste part I can get with maybe, but caffeine really just puts the body into stress mode and that's not real energy. It's more of just an increase in your heart rate, which may make you feel more awake. In the long run, it is a terrible way to feel energetic and will lead to problems eventually, even if not quickly.

As for appetite suppressants, you really shouldn't ever need something like that if you are eating your natural diet and are healthy, but most people aren't of course. This means that the average person always feels tired and coffee seems like the only thing that can get them through the day. Especially when most people are sleep-deprived, much like I used to be when I worked nights. It truly is a sad predicament in terms of the overall health of the world right now.

Also, coffee beans are actually just seeds. If you really know what's going on, you'll understand that seeds are terrible for human consumption. I used to be in the camp that believed the total opposite and I was convinced that was the truth too. Later, I found out that seeds simply do not agree with our bodies and are some of the worst things you could put inside yourself. It's even worse when you turn that seed into liquid and are guaranteed to absorb any toxins that are within it, à la coffee.

If you're still reading this, then you must be at least a little curious about whether coffee is actually something humans should be drinking. I invite you to watch my video and see what I have to say. I've certainly had my fair share of experiences with coffee, but I'm not claiming to be an expert either.

After watching my video, I'd like to recommend a great YouTuber that you should check out. His channel name is Goatis and basically, he does reaction videos breaking down all of the terrible things about these so-called "health influencer" diets. It's pretty remarkable information and also quite entertaining since he's blunt and hilarious.

I'll link this video where he specifically goes in on a girl who drinks a ton of coffee since she is always so lethargic thanks to her diet of extreme malnourishment. It's sad to see people doing to themselves, but it's great that Goatis is finding a way to alert people of all of these bad decisions many are making for their bodies.

Alright, that's it for the blog portion of this. Go back to the top of this post and watch my video now if you haven't done so already. Then go check out Goatis and maybe you'll start watching him regularly and learn some harsh truths.

Thanks for stopping by!
