Reasons To Switch To A Coffee Substitute

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.

Even though there are some benefits to the drink, caffeine consumption can also be harmful. Drinking it late at night may help someone to stay awake, but that does not mean it will give focus. This could be quite counterproductive. As a result, sleep habits could be severely affected if caffeine consumption at night is a regular occurrence. Using coffee as a way to boost energy means diminishing the body's use of its natural resources.

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 made of a number of ingredients, so there is truly something for every personal taste in the market. Asparagus, carrot, beetroot, potato peel and sweet potato are just some the vegetable ingredients that can be used to create a substitute. There are also products available made of acorns, almonds, molasses, wheat bran and dandelion root. The list is almost endless.

You can prepare the majority of substitutes just as normal. Some of them are prepared like tea. You can purchase them whole and then steep them in boiling water. Some are ground just like coffee, ready to be brewed. Finally, some are more like instant coffee in powder form and you can dissolve them into your hot water.

Popular substitutes include Ayurvedic Roast, Teeccino and Dandy Blend. Ayurvedic Roast gets points based on the flavor, which is comparable to the real thing. It is also completely organic. Teeccino is a herbal, gluten-free option with no soy or caffeine. Dandy Blend, meanwhile, is an instant coffee option which is made of healing herb dandelion root.
