Several years ago my Doctor told me I had a hiatus hernia and had to eliminate caffeine from my diet.
I knew he was right.
I had to literally sleep sitting up in bed at night because of extreme heartburn.
I was literally hooked on caffeine.
If I did not have my caffeine fix first thing in the morning, I would get a booming migraine headache that when triggered would last for days.
I was literally miserable and found myself developing insomnia because of not sleeping properly.
One day my friend who knew of my problem called and asked if I would try something that she was drinking to see if it would help me.
Reluctantly, I decided to give it a try.
What happened to me is another story.
The relief I felt just after one cup was mind boggling.
I went the entire day feeling good, energetic and not feeling the need of my caffeine fix.
I could sleep lying down with only one pillow under my head.
I could not believe it.
I started to feel better each and every day, no more headaches, no more acid reflux and no more jitters.
So why is caffeine bad for us? 1.

An alkaline body is a healthy body.
