Do you start your day with a cup of coffee?

Many people around us do the same as you do. Earlier, I used to take coffee as my fuel, especially in the morning. Constantly evolving, over the years, I’ve noticed changes in my attitude, behavior, and approach.

Morning Cup of Yoga This simple routine of stretches is for anyone, from beginner to advanced, who has felt discouraged about their fitness or doesn’t have time for a class. The Morning Cup wakes up your body, gently but effectively, addressing most major muscle groups.

Best of all, I have a more positive outlook. This all is due to yoga which fuels me now.

I love drinking espresso machine made coffee because of its aroma, which fascinates me a lot. It attracts people with its golden crema. I used to order my coffee (and pastry) straight after my gym. I was craving the brown liquid with some sugar hit. Even though, I didn’t seriously think about it, it was doing nothing to recharge my body after 90 minutes of sweating and stretching. In the mid afternoon, I needed something to refuel with a healthier alternative.

When I consulted my nutritionist, I was shocked to hear that all this is happening due to coffee. As a dedicated yogi, I realized that juice therapy is far better than espresso machine coffee & coffee made by best espresso machines due to the following points:

• Elevated urinary excretion of important minerals as calcium, magnesium and potassium has been noted in the coffee drinkers.
• Through sweat, we lose potassium, magnesium and calcium. You can use coconut water, nutrient rich fruits and greens to replenish.
• Think for a while, I used to drink acidic coffee that dehydrated me after sweating out these minerals. I was consistently excreting them, instead of replacing and rejuvenating myself.
• The imbalance in your electrolyte status can create serious systematic complications in your body.

• Electrolytes affect all organs and systems of your body. They regulate muscle contraction, heart rate, a balance of body fluid, and pH levels. You have to take care of your health, to level out my day to day imbalances.

I consciously switched my drinking habits. I exchanged my morning cup with a vitamin supplement or orange juice. I replaced my after gym caffeine dose with a fresh green juice and/or an antioxidant rich drink such as raw coconut water.

I know I am doing something good for my body and it is being displayed at my skin, in my state of mind, and during my practice.

These days, I still enjoy a coffee in the afternoon. My dream states have been shifted too. Instead of drinking coffee regularly with pastry (additional calories), I work on the details of my asana practice.
