When your body tells you you are tired, you had better believe it and take a rest. But what have we done to our workers? We whip them to get the most out of them without a care for their health. Just like the horses in Baguio City, when tired, they are fed a sugary mix to keep them going. Humans take coffee breaks and even take their morning coffee to get them jump started.
Coffee drinking is a rotten self abusing culture I once embraced. I used to be a coffee drinker until the day came it hit me and blood / oxygen wasn’t reaching my brain and I had to be hospitalized. I was in the hospital and I thought to myself I was going to die and I still didn’t have any kids yet. Then I had chronic fatigue syndrome, elevated heart rate at rest, and I was only able to cure it by stopping the consumption of all forms of caffeine.
Maybe since I had my horror stories with all things caffeine, my mind will be forever scarred by that experience. I hope me sharing my experience with coffee and all things caffeine like coffee and coke will scare you out of your wits.  Usually you won’t be scared out of your wits until you experience it personally.  So if you survive your caffeine ordeal, which I hope you do, I told you so.
Here is another bit of the story why I really chose to cut out all forms of caffeine… because the alternative was worse! The heart doctor I was seeing, the same heart doctor my dad was seeing told me that I would have to take beta blocker drugs… but the side effect was you lose your erection!
That doctor did not tell me to give up all forms of caffeine, I figured that out for myself. LOSE YOUR ERECTION vs GIVE UP CAFFEINE??? The choice was obvious. See? It’s all a matter of motivation.
Now they came up with 3 in 1 coffee, 5 in 1 coffee, 8 in 1 coffee and maybe 100 in 1 coffee… who cares? Taste? Taste? Who cares about taste? Give me my erection.
