Here’s why those coffees are actually making your energy, and therefore, sugar cravings worse And what yo need to know to get your energy back now!
➡️ Caffeine binds to the iron particles in your food which blocks those iron particles being absorbed into your body
➡️ Iron is largely responsible for the transport of oxygen around our bodies which gives us more energy & makes our brain function better to keep you more motivated & less stressed
➡️ Less absorbed iron means less oxygen uptake which means less energy & brain function. This increases your stress, makes you crave sugar & laves you feeling lethargic & unmotivated all day!
What can you do to have your coffee & energy too?
✅ Firstly, make sure you’re getting a good balance of nutrients into your body everyday to ensure adequate iron intake. This means a healthy breakfast, lunch & dinner made up of un-processed foods as much as possible.
✅ Try to avoid caffeine within 2 hours of your large meals to ensure iron absorption is not inhibited by he caffeine – especially if you suffer iron an deficiency or have trouble absorbing iron, even on a good day.
Do this and within 1 week you will notice a crazy improvement in your energy & mental focus and an amazing reduction in your stress & sugar cravings!
You will most likely even feel those jeans get looser too!
