I quit coffee after drinking it for 10 years daily and was addicted for sure. Everything is more in balance now, mood stabilised, and no more anxiety. The anxiety was the worst part for me
@@darthenx2585coffee isn’t really hydrating though. Nowhere near as hydrating as tea anyway, When it’s got milk and other stuff added, it’s not refreshing like tea is refreshing as tea is mostly water but coffee is often thicker unless it’s just a black coffee
You must have NEVER watched their documentaries programs then, such as the science or engineering ones, or the wild nature ones.. 😁 They have the best graphics and narratives, usually.
To anyone who says coffee is bad for you. I used to drink coffee like a madman with no limitations and no schedule. I was also an unhealthy person, with a bad diet and sleep habits. At the time, I could say coffee didn't do me much good; only kicking up my anxiety. As soon as I cleaned up my diet, improved my sleep, drank coffee an hour after waking up, and consumed it at a limit, caffeine has been nothing but good for my brain, body, and digestive system. Coffee also has antioxidants that are good for the body. Context matters when it comes to drinking coffee. In a controlled environment, I don't see how it's bad unless you have certain conditions.
Coffee will never ceased to exist. I believe. It becomes 'nicotine' standard of the world. We need it anytime as the world is getting mad every single time.
I believe moderation is key in everything we do in life, drinking coffee is just one of them. I only drink coffee in the early morning hours. Filling up a cup with coffee and milk at 50-50 portion with one refill, would not touch coffee during the day. I have never had any trouble. I could not find a better way to consume both coffee and milk the same time. We all have our personal preference. You just have to figure out what fits you and stick to the routine.
I used to love coffee for years and I needed it every morning as a my drug...but after several years I released how bad it was for my gut, my nervous system, my sleep and my brain. I stop it for 3 months, then return to it again, then stop it for good after 2 months. Sometimes i still miss that little boost in the morning....But I really don't miss how bad I can feel for the next 6 hours after. So happy to be coffee free now at 36 years old
I gave up coffee recently. I started drinking coffee daily at the age of sixteen, and it became an addiction. It all started when I wanted to stay awake and study for an exam. I totally regret drinking coffee for eighteen years. My health is much better after I quit coffee. I used to frequently get heartburn and mouth ulcers when I was drinking coffee. I also suffered from anemia because coffee and tea reduce the absorption of iron in your intestine.
I am slightly addicted to coffee (like its taste, but don't drink it everyday). However, when I drink it during exams, it doesn't make me stay awake at all....I feel naturally sleepy....
@@A1Kirazz that’s the caffeine causing that. If you go caffeine free for several days and get plenty of sleep + avoid screen time before going to bed you’ll wake up feeling fresher

Something must be wrong there, as you shouldn't get those issues. Caffeine is a diuretic so you should be drinking water to keep you hydrated and avoid headaches. If you go to Italy, you'll be served water alongside your espresso.
I gave up drinking any caffeinated drinks a few weeks ago, to see if it changes my energy levels and anxiety. I did not expect much of a change as I drank low to moderate amounts of tea and occasionally coffee (most often only one cup but never exceeding 2 cups) for more than 30 years. I couldn’t have been more wrong. My digestion has never been better, I have more energy and sleep better and less anxiety. Of course I miss my morning cup, but the way I feel now outweighs the small pleasure. I only drink water and herbal tea now.
I like coffee. It gives me an almost immediate boost of energy and alertness but it also causes me to get anxious, depressed and lose sleep. I even notice i get a stutter when i drink coffee.
Try combining half decade and half regular strength when brewing, this should help any symptoms/side effects. You can also adjust varying amounts of caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee, according to your body’s reaction. Try not to drink coffee after 3:00PM. I can drink it much later without experiencing side effects…including insomnia. Yet, my brother cannot tolerate any amount of coffee, so I looked into Green and Black Tea, as well as, other caffeinated options on his behalf. Strangely, I discovered my brother is able to drink Green and Black Tea…yet…I cannot touch Green Tea without experiencing severe side effects…ranging from migraine headaches, nausea/vomiting, and severe joint pain - to name a few. Scientific research has demonstrated coffee to be effective in preventing multiple diseases…Alzheimer’s, Chronic Constipation, and Colon Cancer, among many others. Cheers!🇨🇦☺🇨🇦

My pain doctor (who is also a true expert in metabolism) who has now become one of my closest friends, did research into caffeine after I told him for years I do worse after I have my coffee. He discovered that caffeine blocks the function of a key natural pain blocking chemical in the body. We both discussed it and realized that I was BY FAR the worst in my pain disease when I was drinking free coffee at work. The amplified bone crushing pain ended up costing me my job -- and career. Based on what he and I have learned about caffeine and pain, I would recommend that anyone struggling with chronic pain stop drinking coffee (and sadly even decaf... long story). Go for a month without it to see how you do. Then you can consider starting again.
When I was studying in India, I consumed a lot of coffee. The effects this had on me were a nightmare! I had very little sleep, developed migraines, had rapid heartbeats and was very irritable and always on some kind of an impulse. I discovered coffee might have been the cause when, on one particular week I did not take coffee and I felt different. Since then, I stopped taking coffee completely!
I never drank coffee until I was 70 and from then I enjoy my vegan,homemade version of an icecap once a day before noon. One of the pleasures I find in life that I thoroughly enjoy and at my age I am looking for ways to enjoy life any way I can.
One of the most important aspects about coffee that should’ve been mentioned in the video is the fact that coffee is one of the most heavily sprayed crops by insecticides, so it is highly recommended that you seek out organic coffee.
Can you recommend any retailers of organic coffee?, I don't buy from the internet. I've looked this year for organic in the town I live but nowhere stocks any. Some advice would be good please.
@@NATASHAHENDERSON-e7k I’m in Canada and I buy a local organic coffee brand readily available at the supermarkets here called Kicking Horse. It’s also available on Amazon and in some parts of the US.
I cut my coffee with chicory, 1/2 and 1/2. Tastes great; more inulin; less caffeine and just as satisfying. No sugar added, just some whole milk. Perfect.
Good suggestion. Unfortunately, I have Crohn’s disease, so I cannot consume inulin, unless I want to be hospitalized. So, what I do is use a locally sourced, organic decaffeinated and caffeinated roast. I use varying amounts of both, depending upon who I’m sharing my coffee with. On the occasion where I combine half decaffeinated with caffeinated, I can enjoy a bit more coffee in my day, which is always delightful! Cheers!🇨🇦
I really enjoy my cup of coffee - actually at least 10 cups a day and at 55 years old I am very pleased to carry on and have no regret over supporting the industry.
Everyone is different. 10 cups of coffee would kill my stomach. I drink about 3 or 4 cups a day. If I drink more, my body gets used to it, and I don't have the stimulating effect. But if it works for you, go for it!
So lovely. Since I'm a coffee addict, at least I can tell others how good this habit is. Although being an addict doesn't mean a great thing at all. However, I love your videos.
Yes, I have around 5 mugs of coffee aday and don't have any coffee or tea after 4 pm as I have a better sleep pattern. When I go to bed around 10, I just drink water from 4 pm to 9 pm..
Africans are not motivated people, stop blaming others. It’s not a fluke that African countries that have more immigrants are the ones doing better such as Kenya, Uganda, South Africa
Reading the comments, it's pretty clear that regular consumption of coffee doesn't suit everyone. It's a powerful and addictive stimulant and should be treated with respect. Decent coffee is also expensive !
I've never had coffee until a few years ago, when I started testing it. My overall takeaway is that it leaves me with less energy, and makes me more tired and less energetic about life and all the things I'm focusing on. I recommend you try cutting out this dangerous drug - try going a week without it. Being addicted to or reliant on any drug is terrible. You don't have to cut it out completely, but just try and see for yourself how you feel.
Now imagine someone saying that they simply can't live without cigarettes, alcohol or meth. Addicts say that. And yet somehow when it's applied to coffee, it's okay.
I went through the same thing as you but I only found out I was actually deficient in other minerals and vitamins. I began consuming Zinc and vitamin c in the morning and I no longer have headaches! You should give it a go if your migraine persist.
The migraine is likely due to coffee addiction and its withdrawal effects. It is very common to experience a headache when you start to withdraw from coffee, even after just a few hours without it. Drinking coffee again can relieve the headache. This occurs because caffeine blocks adenosine receptors in the brain, and during withdrawal, the accumulated adenosine exerts its effects more strongly.
@@gazzyb85 I didn’t think that I had a coffee addiction as I only drink 1 mug (2 cups) a day after breakfast. If my migraine is full swing, coffee doesn’t have any taste and i don’t want to drink it.

I was thinking this. BBC gets a lot of criticism- some of it warranted - but the World Service is generally very good and this video is very well put together.
Yeah I learned that coffee/café/кава originated by farmers in Ethiopia I learned so a few years ago, and from that I assumed it spread throughout the entire world. the beverage Americano originated in world war 2 latte is the Italian word for milk.
Useful and valuable information about coffee. This coffee that we drink and enjoy every moment. These kinds of films are actually worth watching several times. Thank you to the BBC for making this.
one big reason is caffeine withdrawal (which you experience each day unless you have caffeine or quit). That causes ADHD type symptoms. You think you're getting relief from ADHD, but you're in fact just alleviating the withdrawal process. ADHD is an issue with the dopaminergic system and caffeine messes with that. The fix is actually no drugs whatsoever (including caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, weed) and a ketogenic/carnivore diet. It regulates brain function. Sugar and ultra-processed foods can also cause over-excitation triggering ADHD, just like drugs can.
@@deem7718 yes but unfortunately it puts you on a rollercoaster, and the lows become even lower. Its not a fix, its a bandaid . You really have to fix the root of the problem to get anywhere.
Creamers are basically a poison, try not to get accustomed to it. If the coffee is of good quality and brewed well you should not need that, especially those artificial flavoured ones. Milk will give that hint of sweetness and balance.
Coffee also stimulates the production of the hormone gastrin, which helps push food through the gut. So if you find drinking coffee helps you to do a poo, then you are correct, it does!
caffeine is also a diuretic and can cause dehydration, which is bad for energy and concentration, so be sure to also drink lots of water throughout the day, and you'll feel more energetic.
I actually have water next to my coffee and alter between the two…a few sips of coffee followed by a few sips of water. I have the opposite problem…often drink too much water…leading to a decrease in crucial minerals within my body. However, I think you made a good point, as most individuals need to be mindful of the diuretic affect of caffeine…whether it’s coffee, tea, or the highly dosed “energy drinks”, which also contain added sugar, sugar substitutes, and other ingredients, that can potentially be harmful. Cheers!🇨🇦

As an active gym goer. I had no clue that my lack of recovery was due to my intense coffee intake. The level of insomnia that I had to deal with over the years were absolutely unbearable. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed some of the benefits of coffee as mentioned in this video. Mainly, "The suppression of appetite and massive increase in strength /energy levels. However I would never prioritize a coffee over my sleep, as it could have been very detrimental to my overall health. So I had to quit!! Nonetheless, I still miss that massive aroma!

Based on what he and I have learned about caffeine and pain, I would recommend that anyone struggling with chronic pain stop drinking coffee (and sadly even decaf... long story). Go for a month without it to see how you do. Then you can consider starting again.
When I was studying in India, I consumed a lot of coffee. The effects this had on me were a nightmare! I had very little sleep, developed migraines, had rapid heartbeats and was very irritable and always on some kind of an impulse. I discovered coffee might have been the cause when, on one particular week I did not take coffee and I felt different. Since then, I stopped taking coffee completely!
Early when you stopped, did you feel exhausted?
Well done!
No mention that its highly addictive and its effects diminish over time requiring higher doses
I am enjoying my morning coffee while watching this video.
Quitting coffee improved the way I feel greatly.
I never drank coffee until I was 70 and from then I enjoy my vegan,homemade version of an icecap once a day before noon. One of the pleasures I find in life that I thoroughly enjoy and at my age I am looking for ways to enjoy life any way I can.
One of the most important aspects about coffee that should’ve been mentioned in the video is the fact that coffee is one of the most heavily sprayed crops by insecticides, so it is highly recommended that you seek out organic coffee.
Can you recommend any retailers of organic coffee?, I don't buy from the internet. I've looked this year for organic in the town I live but nowhere stocks any. Some advice would be good please.
@@NATASHAHENDERSON-e7k I’m in Canada and I buy a local organic coffee brand readily available at the supermarkets here called Kicking Horse. It’s also available on Amazon and in some parts of the US.
Maybe this is the wrong place to ask if you don’t buy from the internet. 🤔
I cut my coffee with chicory, 1/2 and 1/2. Tastes great; more inulin; less caffeine and just as satisfying. No sugar added, just some whole milk. Perfect.
Good suggestion. Unfortunately, I have Crohn’s disease, so I cannot consume inulin, unless I want to be hospitalized. So, what I do is use a locally sourced, organic decaffeinated and caffeinated roast. I use varying amounts of both, depending upon who I’m sharing my coffee with.
On the occasion where I combine half decaffeinated with caffeinated, I can enjoy a bit more coffee in my day, which is always delightful!
Cheers!🇨🇦
I really enjoy my cup of coffee - actually at least 10 cups a day and at 55 years old I am very pleased to carry on and have no regret over supporting the industry.
Hell yeah brother that’s a lot! Sometimes i mostly have 3 or 2 lol 10 might be overkill for me though
Everyone is different. 10 cups of coffee would kill my stomach. I drink about 3 or 4 cups a day. If I drink more, my body gets used to it, and I don't have the stimulating effect. But if it works for you, go for it!
With sugar or no sugar? Con azucar o sin azucar?
Your stupid.
Coffee is a very addictive and damaging drugs. Please stop drinking it!
I grew up drinking black coffee as a baby. Now I can’t shut down my brain 😂 I can think forever
I love coffee ❤❤ the smell of freshly brewed coffee ❤❤
Listen, when something is good, it's good.🙂 It's that simple.
Your animators spent alot of time on this, coffee probably helped but awesome job to them!
So lovely. Since I'm a coffee addict, at least I can tell others how good this habit is. Although being an addict doesn't mean a great thing at all. However, I love your videos.
Me watching this whilst drinking my coffee, at least I can remind others of all the benefits of my beloved espresso or black coffee now! 😅
And i making it Daily and drink and selling it lol
Yes, I have around 5 mugs of coffee aday and don't have any coffee or tea after 4 pm as I have a better sleep pattern. When I go to bed around 10, I just drink water from 4 pm to 9 pm..
More Gems like this Please!
I ❤ my coffee and always will😊
Thankyou😊
Ethiopia and Africa as a whole should be rich with all the natural resources, so it speaks volumes of how the western world have EXPLOITED us.
😂😂😂who has exploited who!
Exploitation is the cost of ignorance. instead we should do something to reform.
Africans are not motivated people, stop blaming others. It’s not a fluke that African countries that have more immigrants are the ones doing better such as Kenya, Uganda, South Africa
I'm making coffee right now!
addict
@@hanskazan7403 True.
Add me a cup
Reading the comments, it's pretty clear that regular consumption of coffee doesn't suit everyone. It's a powerful and addictive stimulant and should be treated with respect.
Decent coffee is also expensive !
Great docu.....so lively!!!
Coffee is great, but you can’t beat a nice cup of tea.
Tea is great, but you can't beat a nice up of .... tea
Tea with sugar is poison.
Yaaaaaassssss
💯
Tea is the bestttt.
My life is 10x better after I quit coffee
Eh, mine is 10x better with it.
Nope
tea is more refreshing
you sure it's not 11x
I drink half a cup a day in the morning especially after a full restful sleep, three or four days a week.
originated in Ethiopia, coffee is considered an ancient drink. luv it.
Watching this while drinking my morning coffee 😌☕
that is right
I simply can’t live without drinking coffee! ☕️
I've never had coffee until a few years ago, when I started testing it. My overall takeaway is that it leaves me with less energy, and makes me more tired and less energetic about life and all the things I'm focusing on. I recommend you try cutting out this dangerous drug - try going a week without it. Being addicted to or reliant on any drug is terrible. You don't have to cut it out completely, but just try and see for yourself how you feel.
I had low BP and coffee helps
@@JaydenLawsonSome people (like me) need coffee. I have a very bad case of insomnia so I 100% need it or my eyes burn. I’d have no power otherwise
That's not a good thing, you should get help for that.
Now imagine someone saying that they simply can't live without cigarettes, alcohol or meth. Addicts say that. And yet somehow when it's applied to coffee, it's okay.

She forgot the most important thing ... Coffee pushes out 💩 💩 out the back door .
factsss😂😂😂
Love all the different flavours and effects of this wonderful stimulating drink! Thank you coffee growers and makers!
Just one cup daily is enough for me; ground coffee in a cafetière with a splash of single cream👌🏽
I would hate any doctor that prohibit me the consumption of coffee!
GERD it is. HAHAHAHAHA.
U need a better product. How does cocaine sound?
That’s cuz you’re an addict.
@@Ken_from_mumbai Caffeine is fine! thank for your suggestion though. hahaha.
If you ever have to go to a gastroenterologist, that's the first thing they make you give up. It's horrible!!!
It often works for me to stop a migraine which is a disease that affects the nervous system so now i’m understanding why drinking coffee helps
Migraine is symptom, not a disease.
I went through the same thing as you but I only found out I was actually deficient in other minerals and vitamins. I began consuming Zinc and vitamin c in the morning and I no longer have headaches! You should give it a go if your migraine persist.
The migraine is likely due to coffee addiction and its withdrawal effects. It is very common to experience a headache when you start to withdraw from coffee, even after just a few hours without it. Drinking coffee again can relieve the headache. This occurs because caffeine blocks adenosine receptors in the brain, and during withdrawal, the accumulated adenosine exerts its effects more strongly.
@@gazzyb85 I didn’t think that I had a coffee addiction as I only drink 1 mug (2 cups) a day after breakfast. If my migraine is full swing, coffee doesn’t have any taste and i don’t want to drink it.

Beautifully compiled video. Hats off to the BBC Team.
I was thinking this. BBC gets a lot of criticism- some of it warranted - but the World Service is generally very good and this video is very well put together.
COFFEE WILL ALWAYS BE MY FUEL!
Don’t shout. Thanks.
I never had a cup of coffee in my life and never will. Thank you!
You are the real smart person.
You are just an extreme, missed the yummy taste of coffee and its aroma, you can drink it once in way.
So why'd ya click....just asking
@@Docfly62 curiosity
Always choose the middle path. Going extremes is a bad idea in most cases.
Watching with my cup of coffee ☕
Yeah I learned that coffee/café/кава originated by farmers in Ethiopia I learned so a few years ago, and from that I assumed it spread throughout the entire world. the beverage Americano originated in world war 2 latte is the Italian word for milk.
I love coffee with hazelnut cream. It's the best!
Thank you for sharing.
Animation 👌

Anyone who reads this, we don't know each other and probably never will but I wish you all the best in life.
When I drink coffee or caffeine based soda I tend to relax ...I can go to sleep right away
May be your undiagnosed adhd ?
Really.. I struggle to sleep after drinking coffee especially in the evenings

well, you are saying the fact. I invested $4,000 with Kara Ayala , and earned $12,000 in 9 working days.
Greetings from Florida, I have read lots of reviews about her in many platforms, she must be a legit woman.
Many people are afraid to invest because of the scammers in the business
My rule is just 1 cup of coffee a day around 10am or half an hour after I wake up if I have the gym.
Useful and valuable information about coffee. This coffee that we drink and enjoy every moment. These kinds of films are actually worth watching several times. Thank you to the BBC for making this.
Please explain why coffee has the opposite effect for some people with ADHD
Paradoxical reactions are common with coffee, medications and herbs for some neurodiverse people.
Caffeine increases dopamine levels, which may help with ADHD.
one big reason is caffeine withdrawal (which you experience each day unless you have caffeine or quit). That causes ADHD type symptoms. You think you're getting relief from ADHD, but you're in fact just alleviating the withdrawal process. ADHD is an issue with the dopaminergic system and caffeine messes with that. The fix is actually no drugs whatsoever (including caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, weed) and a ketogenic/carnivore diet. It regulates brain function. Sugar and ultra-processed foods can also cause over-excitation triggering ADHD, just like drugs can.
@@deem7718 yes but unfortunately it puts you on a rollercoaster, and the lows become even lower. Its not a fix, its a bandaid . You really have to fix the root of the problem to get anywhere.
@@KK-lg8uz Agreed!
History is amazing
Coffee by itself is okay. Coffee with creamer just makes it so much better.
Yes it may taste better with sugar and creamer but then you lose all the coffee benefits once you add that poison.
Creamers are basically a poison, try not to get accustomed to it.
If the coffee is of good quality and brewed well you should not need that, especially those artificial flavoured ones.
Milk will give that hint of sweetness and balance.
@@Boston82blhow? No real negatives with cream or milk
Yuck, black coffee is better. If your coffee is of good quality it will taste nice without creamer, sugar and all that unhealthy crap you put in it.
Starbucks ruins coffee with all the junk it adds into it, people are drinking sugar, not coffee
Watching this video while having my morning coffee! Great video, BBC! Wish you all a good day!
What a video. It is clear and concise. Also the animation, editing and sound design are inexplicably beautifull. Loved it ❤ Well done 👏✨
Coffee also stimulates the production of the hormone gastrin, which helps push food through the gut. So if you find drinking coffee helps you to do a poo, then you are correct, it does!
caffeine is also a diuretic and can cause dehydration, which is bad for energy and concentration, so be sure to also drink lots of water throughout the day, and you'll feel more energetic.
I actually have water next to my coffee and alter between the two…a few sips of coffee followed by a few sips of water. I have the opposite problem…often drink too much water…leading to a decrease in crucial minerals within my body.
However, I think you made a good point, as most individuals need to be mindful of the diuretic affect of caffeine…whether it’s coffee, tea, or the highly dosed “energy drinks”, which also contain added sugar, sugar substitutes, and other ingredients, that can potentially be harmful.
Cheers!🇨🇦
Coffee IS a diuretic but it doesn't cause dehydration. That's a misconception.
Love my cup of coffee.

In my childhood BBC was a popular news channel with great journalists and news presenters.
I grew up as a US expat in Eurrope. My mother had the BBC on, via her Grundig short wave radio, all the time.
This video is politically correct middle school tier infotainment.
@@Frennemydistinction
In India, 30 years ago, when I was a primary school going kid, we used to watch BBC to learn English pronunciations. Inherently we got exposure to world affairs.
As you said it became an infotainment channel now.
Now Palki Sharma like journalists are forging ahead. Did BBC accept defeat and moved into infotainment space??
U guys are nuts! There’s another channel called BBC news and guess what they still report the news there!!
@@riadyl3311
Take good rest and good food like dry fruits and nuts. Good for your brain health. It can help improve your cognitive abilities.
BBC is the Fox of Europe. DW and Franch 24 way better. Best is when they bust the fake posts
As an active gym goer. I had no clue that my lack of recovery was due to my intense coffee intake. The level of insomnia that I had to deal with over the years were absolutely unbearable.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed some of the benefits of coffee as mentioned in this video. Mainly, "The suppression of appetite and massive increase in strength /energy levels.
However I would never prioritize a coffee over my sleep, as it could have been very detrimental to my overall health. So I had to quit!! Nonetheless, I still miss that massive aroma!
Coffee ☕ is life 😊
Amen 🙏🏼
BEAUTIFULL PRESENTATION ENJOYED IT AND AT THE SAME TIME LEARNT A LOT ABOUT COFFEE HATS OFF TO THE PRESENTER RESPECT
