Alternative to caffeine? I have been feeling down?
Question:
I don't want to depend on caffeine, is there another alternative? I just feel down, depressed like.
Thank you.
Answers:
Lots of times its diet that makes us feel down. The problem with caffeine is that eventually your body will come down from that artificial high. Try eliminating all less healthy food ( junk food, over processed foods, carbonated drinks ) and substitute fruits , veggies , lean meats. You will feel better.
The other thing I suggest is laughter. Be it from funny movies, books, comic routines..anything that makes you laugh can help with depression and health in general.
If you don't feel better soon, see your doctor.
Try exercise and get an endorphin high.
an ice cream always helps me when I'm down
tea or apples.
I'm the same way, I can't function properly without coffee. I've heard that vitamin B12 call help. Or those natual energy drinks. And if all else fails, just face the caffine withdrawls and feel like crap for a few days... good luck with that!
"Eat an apple.
It may sound simple, but consider the many ways in which this is a perfect suggestion:
First, I know that I’m never tired while I’m eating. Somehow, your body knows that eating is an important enough activity to retain its state of consciousness for.
Second, an apple takes a good 10 or 15 minutes to properly eat, which will hopefully allow you to cover a significant portion of your automobile journey.
Third, apples require a certain amount of concentration (avoiding the stem and core, rotating it as you work your way through it), and exerting this mental energy will keep you more awake.
Fourth, apples only require one hand, and have no wrapper, so you’ll be able to use your other hand to maintain control of the steering wheel the entire time.
Fifth, apples are bio-degradable, so when you’re finished, the core can be thrown out of the window of your car without guilt. Just try not to hit the other drivers near you when you do this.
Sixth, apples are good for you. You can increase your health, while avoiding being mangled in a fiery car wreck at the same time.
Seventh, and finally, apples are cheap. Cheap enough that you can eat one every day, without making a significant dent in your savings."
