During a cleanse you want to eliminate foods that are hard to digest like raw veggies, animal protein, dairy, wheat, etc and keep things as healthy and fresh as possible. You also do not want to consume any stimulants, like coffee, or caffeinated tea. Raja's Cup, which I carry and herbal teas like chamomile, mint and licorice root are great harmonizing and energizing substitutes. Here are some reasons to avoid coffee: 1.DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a steroid hormone that can decrease with the consumption of coffee. DHEA is responsible for cellular and tissue repair. It also enhances memory and cognitive function, protects against stress, and supports numerous physiological processes, 2. Coffee is a stimulant and increases the release of stress-fighting hormones, which are usually reserved for life or death, fight or flight situations. Similar effects on mood and autonomic response are measured in the body regardless of caffeine level between regular coffee and decaffeinated coffee, 3. Coffee consumption (including decaffeinated coffee) releases an addictive neurotransmitter called dopamine. Dopamine is a pleasure hormone and when the brain is bathed in dopamine, it never forgets the source. Finally, Raises homocysteine levels – a major risk factor for heart disease, Raises blood pressure, Raises cholesterol, Increases inflammation, Is associated with heart irregularities,Can damage the nervous system, Interferes with neurotransmitters in the brain, Alters DNA repair, Increases risk of kidney stones, Lowers bone density in women, Interferes with sleep, Is linked to erectile dysfunction and Is linked to increases symptoms of gastric reflux and heartburn.
