Why A Coffee Substitute Could Be A Better Choice

By Sharon Olson


Drinking coffee first thing in the morning and even throughout the day is something that many people around the world do. It has become such a staple of the daily routine to the point that it is even a cult phenomenon with various chains and franchises available to cater to the addiction. A coffee substitute, however, may just be the answer for anyone concerned about the effects of regular consumption of this beverage.

Coffee drinking is rather trendy, probably because it tastes so good! Other reasons you may consume it could be for a quick pick-me-up or a boost of energy during the day or even at night. Most people who drink it at night may have work to do or may be students about to pull an all-nighter with their schoolwork. Other people, still, consume the beverage because - truth be told - there are some health benefits associated with it.

The drink, when consumed on a regular basis, can actually decrease the risk of getting Type 2 diabetes. It has also shown to have some effect in preventing certain diseases, particularly Parkinson's Disease and Alzheimer's. There are lots of antioxidants found in coffee as well, and everyone knows that antioxidants are good for the body.

However, even with its benefits, there are certain harmful effects associated with caffeine consumption. While it may be good for staying awake, it does not necessarily keep an individual focused, which may be counterproductive. Furthermore, caffeine consumption could affect sleep habits over a period of time. Relying on the ability of coffee to provide energy means that the body is unable to tap into its natural energy sources as a result.

The substitute for this drink has grown in popularity in recent times. There are many reasons why. To begin with, caffeine is addictive, which is problematic. It also increases hormones related to stress. Depending on your taste, you may also be spending quite a bit on coffee, so a substitute could be less expensive. Some people, such as Mormons, use substitutes for religious reasons. Others use them simply because they may have things to make to eat or drink that children may like.

Substitutes are available with many different ingredients, so there is something for everyone no matter what their taste. Vegetable-based substitutes include carrot, asparagus, beetroot, sweet potato and potato. Additionally, there are version made with molasses, almonds, acorns, dandelion root and wheat bran. It is a very long list.

Substitutes can be prepared in a number of ways, all of them similar to or exactly like preparation methods for coffee and also tea. Some come in a very fine powder form and immediately dissolve when added to boiling water. Others are ground and can be brewed just like coffee, such as chicory. Finally, there are substitutes which can be prepared much like tea, as they come whole and must be steeped in boiling water.

Top brands in substitutes are Teeccinno, Ayurvedic Roast and Dandy Blend. Teeccino gets good reviews due to being herbal and also gluten-free, making it perfect for those with such health issues. It also contains no caffeine or soy. Ayurvedic Roast tastes like the real stuff, and is also one hundred percent organic. Dandy Blend is made with dandelion root and is instant.
