WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? I don’t drink coffee to wake up. I wake up to drink coffee.
Absolutely!!! 😂
SOMETIMES I LOOK FORWARD TO GOING TO BED AT NIGHT BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WHEN I WAKE UP, I GET COFFEE. LOVE FROM KOREA 🇰🇷💕
Me too!
Same!!!
Lol me too!!
Best part of waking up...
Same here, thats addiction.
So much crap on the internet, this guy mostly gets to the point immediately and doesn’t waste my time. Plus, he almost always has something I haven’t seen that seems to be effective. I appreciate this kind of effort.
You’re right. I like it when they go straight to the point instead of all the talk to get to the point 👍🏻
It's more Expediency than Effort! 😂
Ya mon but him have no suggestions on what is best to start off wif
@@rockers7889 Since he mentioned that we lose a litre or more of water overnight, perhaps it's implied that we should be drinking water, or at least caffeine-free beverages.
Oh yeah. How do you know he is even remotely close to being right?
When I first wake up, I gotta drink a cup of water. My coffee always comes in second. Yeah, I love coffee, but water is my drink of choice first thing.
Then we get into the warm water VS. cold water thing. I think I am addicted to ice cold water and beverages. Warm or room temperature is probably the most healthy though.
Room temperature water first thing to have after melting a Celtic salt crystal on the tongue for balancing hydration and mineral intake
Water! where do you think fish pee?
@@buddy1155 u're evil 🤣
@@MMelanie963 Pleeeze !
When I complained to my OBGYN that my breasts are very painful during my cycle, he said the pain is caused by benign cysts and told me to stop drinking caffeine, which I did. The next month...no more pain and the cysts disappeared! My fellow women, stop getting biopsies when your OBGYN says you have cysts. That's how some make their $$$ (I worked in surgery). Before getting a biopsy, first stop the caffeine. You may be surprised at the simplicity of this solution. Be well and don't live in fear!
I've had 2 friends, this happened to
Alkaline diet as well. Coffee is acidic.
If you’re struggling with giving up the coffee, castor oil packs also work wonders for cystic breast tissue!
Massage them, I can 😅
…and going low-carb, real food.
Lemon water for first thing in the morning is the best choice. Thank you doctor.
Lemon is acidic as well though. Your teeth may suffer a bit from it's acidity. Just a thought.
@@michaelelliott1212 Yes 👍 that is correct. However there are ways to go around it
I got heart burn from reading this comment lol
You can use bottled lemon juice, too. Just a shot. 👍
@@Lifecoachcanada what ways ?
a world without coffee is called a dystopia
😂
Better hope the Bees stay healthy then 😮😊
Well, we do live in a dystopia, but it has coffee, so the suicide rate isnt as bad.
Life without coffee is possible, but pointless.
Funnily enough, it's the other way around - we abuse caffeine from various sources to create the dystopia. Take away caffeine sources and within a decade the rat race slows down.
I always have two shots of whiskey while brewing my coffee. This allows me to relax prior to getting all wound up!
Funny!
Ugh. Ok. Water first, coffee later. Got it. This is going to be hard. Pursuing good health has turned out to be a total turn around. I never thought I was leading such an unhealthy life! Not complaining really! I love learning all the great ways to make my health (therefore life) better!
I recently started drinking water while I waited for my coffee to perc (i use a stovetop percolator, so it takes longer than a regular drip machine) because I was so thirsty when I first wake up. If you drink the water while you wait for your coffee to be ready, it'll be easier! .
Try drinking water on the way to work and wait to have coffee when you get in. Tobias way you can continue with water while your coffee is brewing. That’s how I do it.
The good Doctor has given us many drinks for first in the morning. Only 1 first oer day. :-)
@@chayastaub-krell6601 That's pretty much what I do too. I've noticed as I get older I feel more dehydrated (ugh) so while I'm waiting for the coffee to get done I drink as much water as I can tolerate( about 6 ounces).
A half hour after I finish my coffee I drink k another glass of water.
I've noticed my energy levels are up much more.
@ Theresa I so hear you!!! Dring water first ➡ wait ➡ drink coffee. I already keep a 4 cup jar of water by the coffee maker and for awhile was in a good habit of drinking 2 cups of water as soon as I woke up (this has health benefits drinking 2 cups water as soon as you wake up) ...but I got out of the habit. This video was a good reminder!
Yes, having good health takes a lot of effort... but worth it!
Sounds as though we should drink a glass of water in the morning
is that what he's saying, not sure i heard him say, simply drink a glass of water 1st?
Yes i learned back when, to drink water first thing (16oz) slow drinks not fast, then wait awhile before tea or coffee. I have been on this routine for three years now , and i will attest to the positive results.
yes, always water first.
Yes, perhaps even with a quality electrolyte powder added, sometimes. If not every morning. It depends on the extent to which my previous day's meals contained sodium. If so for example, I may have just water the following morning.
I slam back 500 ml as soon as i wake up, then breakfast, then coffee. Luckily i picked up a lot of good habits from weight lifting.
This makes sense! I stopped losing weight when I started drinking coffee immediately after waking up.
👌
Coffee helped me lose 70lb
Always a pleasure to listen to your health tips. You talk straight up, hitting the nail on the head and no time wasting.
“Coffee is a drug”. I noticed that he is not saying don’t drink coffee but the information he provides certainly gives food for thought.
I don't care if it's a 'drug' I LOVE IT and that's that! I always drink water first anyway!
@@starstuff5958 me too!!
Dr. Mandell, i used to drink hot water every morning as i wake, after i gulped down 2 tablespoon of olive oil. Then i drink my cup of joe, and after an hour., i will have to report to a rest room, to empty
I respect every plant God gave us ...
Every thing is a drug, I rather have coffee than stuff from the chemist.
I usually drink a bottle of water while my coffee is brewing in my French press each morning!
My doc told me to stop using the French Press as it can elevate cholesterol levels. It's better to use a drip or instant. I sold my French Press and now just drink a coffee alternative, without the worries of increase cholesterol levels. Everyone's different though, and it might not effect you the same way. I drink mine black, so it wasn't the cream or sugar.
I'm french myself and I know exactly what you are talking about.
Do you grind your own coffee beans!?
Me too 22 ounce bottle usually the room temperature from the night before while Java is brewing I usually only have a 8oz cup then save the left over for the next DAY ☕
@@28fabrice Yes I do!
Do u think French presses make better tasting coffee than a regular coffee pot?...I've never tried one before and I'm curious
"Make it a great day!" 😁 I love hearing that line each time.
I haven't had regular coffee in over 10 years. I remember when I quit, I had withdrawal symptoms the first few days and around the 3rd day I got a nose bleed. After 5-7 days I felt better than ever before. I no longer got random headaches throughout the day, no longer woke up feeling dizzy, and my energy was evenly balanced throughout the day.. no significant highs or lows. My skin also started looking better and teeth got whiter. My joints felt more lubricated. Now I wake up already feeling energetic and don't need a jolt from coffee. Not being a slave to coffee is probably the best thing I've done for myself aside from never smoking. Occasionally, on a cold or rainy morning, I'll make some decaf coffee. I don't consume anything with caffeine including dark chocolate and certain teas.
I'm the same, i quit caffeine because it was causing anxiety and over thinking. I've been caffeine free for well over a year now and it's by far the best choice.
Dark chocolate is pretty low in caffeine, like 10% of a cup of coffee
Drink coffee . max 2 cups a day. it prevents Alzheimers and Parkinson
That sucks!
@@matkasim that's absolutely bogus information. The benefits of totally removing cafeine from your diet far outway any benefits. Also, checkout who funds the research of those claims.
I never was a coffee drinker all my life. I had good energy and lead a healthy lifestyle. I do drink some coffee now but it’s usually a little later when my energy drops.
But this is just the best information ever. I just think you are a complete genius and not only that you are a loving wonderful human being helping everybody in so many ways . Thank you again
I drink coffee daily unless I am fasting,but while drinking coffee I drink with herbal tea and water, It gives me great pleasure ☺
I was hesitant to watch this video because I was afraid you were going to advise giving up my coffee! I always have a bottle of H2O by my bedside for when I wake and drink it before and while my coffee is brewing. Thank you Sir for all your helpful videos, they’re much appreciated.
I wondered if he was going to suggest that. makes sense to me. good video. thx for the comment
Hesitant to face a truth so you might have not watched this? That says a lot about you. What else are you avoiding because you might not like the outcome.
This is an important human tendency you’re pointing out. The subconscious mind is known in some cases to protect a persons model of reality, or even sculpt it in a biased way...
I know I do this! And the most recent example I can think that I’ve done it multiple times is a caffeine video, I avoided any negatives of things I enjoyed. This included cannabis!
I tell you what though, @drewtazy, whenever you lean in past that tendency, you get rewarded with the information that makes it easier to have balance. Don’t let that niggling tendency hold you back!
@@HelloThere-xs8ss don’t be so judgmental
Not quite. The biggest reason cortisol spikes is because liver glycogen gas been depleted overnight. Having coffee raises the metabolism and there must be fuel to supply it. Having coffee without dietary sugar and cream will cause cortisol to ramp up in order to make glucose for the fuel deficit.
I like that you point out that coffee is a drug, I make sure to remind my son all the time that sugar is a drug so that he develops healthy habits. I know I can't watch him all the time, but my lessons will always be with him. You have to understand how a substance affects you in order to have healthy relationship with it.
Amazing information thank you Dr. Mandela 🥰 I was just about to have a cup of coffee but it will be water now. Knowledge and understanding is everything. As Abba Father told us “In all our getting, get understanding.”
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and hope you have a wonderful week ahead. I really appreciate your help in understanding the body. I was just crossing the street from my job a few years ago when I got hit by a distracted driver who was on the phone and had no clue that I was in the middle of the crosswalk until I got hit. I was thrown into the air and I landed forty feet away. I had a traumatic brain injury and several broken bones and I was only given a five percentage chance of survival but I made it through and I am back in the gym again and staying healthy and I have to thank you for being so helpful and I appreciate you 💪🙏
I have 1 cup a day 30 minutes to an hour after waking up. Usually an hour after. I don't think that's long enough to wait for. It also tastes much better after waiting for it. I'd get sick if I drank it first thing. I used to for a year when I was much younger and I slowed down off of it. I was going through 4 to 8 cups a day! I got sick many times before I finally quit. It was awful.
Actually what he said is backed up by German clinical research. They said it's best to drink coffee at least 90 minutes after waking up since we still have natural energy when we wake up and must use that first .
Will give that a try!
I will try and wait also. Give it a week and see how it goes. Thanks
What do you do if you literally have no energy but have to get up anyway.
@@bethk1280I just drink water that’s it. If I’m still tired, I will eat something.
I have zero natural energy when I wake up. It's a battle.
I have always have my first and second cup through and after breakfast. I’ve noticed the caffeine effect has diminished greatly for quite a while. This morning, I decided to try your recommendation. I waited for almost 2 hours after getting up to have my first cup. I could barely finish it. I got quite a caffeine buzz. Thanks for the recommendation.
By coincidence, this is the routine that I follow.
Glad i stumbled into SOMETHING right for a change!
Thanks Doc. Your the best!
I was drinking coffee as soon as i awoke for the past couple of years and everything this man says is fact because i was experiencing everything he said, i will most assuredly be following his advice.
Thank you sir ,God bless you.
Just watching this now drinking my first and only coffee of the day at 1.27pm UK time 😊. Thank you, as always, Doctor Wonderful ♥️
Yes I always alternate between 3 cups fresh lime & filtered water first thing in the morning. And I always have my coffee sometime just before the noon time hour Well after a morning workout, and the two days I don't work out I still wait to have my coffee. Great advice🍶☕💚
Doctor do you recommend that we have our coffee completely separate from a meal because that increases cortisol ?? when their combined together? I only drink one cup of coffee a day and sometimes I intermittent fast so I workout in a fast state I wait about a half an hour half a cup of coffee and then I'll have a lunch or when I fast once a week I'll have my first meal at 3 p.m..
I love your screen name, well done! =)
any dental issues from lime ?
@@BRIANDER100 no it's diluted with filtered water
You not Dr Howard Mandel! You're the Goat! Sending you all bucket full of Joy and peace and love!
I've got a habit I need to change after viewing this! Thanks Doc
*Every single negative side effect* you listed I experienced exactly. I had developed a tolerance and was getting lethargic, jittery, experiencing hypertension, dizziness, inconsistent body temperature levels, lack of focus and drive, depression, just overall feeling very sick and gross and nearly passing out on several occasions. It felt like my body chemistry was very imbalanced and these symptoms would very often manifest at random times of day, and all I could do was put my head down and bear through it and wait for it to subside. It was so bad I was worried I had developed a serious irreversible medical condition.
Over time I scaled my coffee consumption back gradually and now I drink about an hour after I wake but not before I drink at least a full glass of water, staying hydrated through the day. At least 7-8 hours of sleep are vital. Any deviation from those habits and my symptoms rear their head again as if to say, _"Say hello to your little friend!"_
The video was a good reminder of keeping it under control. Thanks Doc!
Your videos are gold🥇So appreciate the info you share,even more because you make them short & to the point,very helpful❗️May you reap great reward for sharing all your healthful wisdom & your time,plz keep them coming🙏🏻 Thank you💐
Good advice. You confirm much of what I’ve been hearing about coffee, and added some new things, like the function of the adrenal glands, and the fact that coffee is a diuretic and the first thing you drink should be water.
If you had one cup of coffee per day, the most optimal time to have it is probably around 2:00 in the afternoon-you’ve had lunch, and you kind of slow down because now your natural hormones are at a low level. Your system could actually use a boost at that time.
Anyhow, thanks!
This perhaps explains why I'm really depressed after drinking coffee in the morning. I get so down that I feel disparing. I will from now on not drink coffee right away, get rehydrated first and wait for later in the day. Thank you for the video.
I quit all coffee. Feel better because of it. Lemon and good salts in the morning
I like the lemon too. I do a black coffee cleanse at least 3x wk . No sugar or cream. I feel 15 again more energy and amazing circulation 😮
@@TheBikemaster94 Black coffee cleanse? How do you do that.. ?! Do you drink, or😳
Great advice!
I steep a cup of mint tea overnight and drank that in the morning after I've drank water and taken my aminos on an empty stomach.
I brew my 2 kcups for work and take it with me so I'm drinking it around 8a, but I've been up since 4:30a.
Sometimes I have green tea first thing along with the mint tea, but have cut way back on that and have the green tea in the evenings.
It's all about timing as doc has explained.
It makes more sense to drink coffee in the afternoon when your energy level is low. It also helps avoid naps and possibly get a workout in after 5.
💯
Except that doesn't make sense because sleep experts say consuming caffeine in the afternoon is terrible for getting good REM sleep.
@@sparksdrinker5650, I was talking about lunch. As in 1230 or so. Since nobody goes to sleep midnight or later nowadays, it’s not really going to keep you up.
@@Phil-ui4tm you mean everybody goes to sleep midnight or later.
It 100% affects my sleep if I drink it in the afternoon. I end up tossing and turning most of the night.
Love your short videos. No verbosity. To the point.
I start my day with a glass of water with apple cider vinegar first thing in the morning then I take my dogs out for their walk and then I prepare a coffee.
MagiCk happens
oh well why do we wake up sleepy at first. ? the coffee feels so good to my mindset and feel happy.
My grandma is Italian, has consumed strong coffee all her life and hit 99yrs old this year. Just saying...
Hope Nonna is still going strong 💪 ❤I
@cinnabun715 yep, saw her on the weekend and she's looking like she'll make it to 100 🙏
Way to miss the entire point of the video, he said drinking coffee is fine just avoid doing it right when you wake up due to the negative effects with cortisol.
@clipsburg412 and when do you think 99% of people drink their coffee? First thing my grandma does is make a coffee. In fact, go to Italy, that's the first thing they do even before eating. Pretty sure I didn't miss the point.
@@funcool32 Just because it's a cultural thing to drink coffee right after waking up in some places, does not make it healthy. I don't believe that your grandma was included in any controlled study either, so your example with her is moot. And even if she was included in a study, there's the possibility that she could be a statistical outlier as well.
I've been drinking coffee for 40 years , I ain't got no addiction.....
Depends on the person. Kind of like how some people get addicted to alcohol while others can stop on the dime
Lol! Me too
😂😂
I love my coffee, it’s like a liquid hug for my brain, but I stopped for each of my four pregnancies and before I ever have any procedures. Piece of cake! Which is the next best thing to coffee.
Yeah.... sure
More great advice, thanks Dr Mandell. For a number of years I have been keeping a glass of distilled water with a pinch of Himalayan salt by bedside ,sipping if I awaken, especially if I get slight headache, finishing off when I get up. Only drink one coffee mid morning, (a couple of hours after the water).Think it is important to drink only Organic coffee not GMO (as advised by Dr Berg ).
I also heard that the amount of water in the average cup of coffee, cancels out the effect of the dehydration caused by the coffee..
Doesn’t add up. Unless you drink a liter of coffee?
Couldnt be.
Your body naturally filters out the coffee ,thats why you pee a lot after drinking it.
Your gonna need hydration and water will help your kidneys and liver to process everything.
Always drink a glass a water when you first wake up. THEN... coffee. And more coffee.
It’s hard to get out of the stimulant habit. I’m so happy that I did, not being dependent on caffeine for alertness and energy.
I did an organic superfood lifestyle transformation cleanse 2 months ago. I detoxed from coffee, sugar, and meat. I’ve had more energy than I ever had in my life. Even when I don’t get enough sleep, I don’t feel like I need to drink a cup of coffee. My amino‘s and greens are keeping me healthy. When you give your body what it needs, you don’t have to give it anything that it doesn’t. Coffee doesn’t even taste good to me anymore.
Dehydration is one thing, Cortisol effect is another. so...
while the amount of water in the average cup of coffee probably,
cancels out the effect of the dehydration caused by the caffeine
the Cortisol effect can be a roller coaster of responses to events.
If it hits right I am happy :) if it hits me wrong I can become a warrior.
So I really appreciate my new Cortisol knowledge gained from this video
and the advice to delay my morning coffee for less of a Cortisol effect.
Thank You!!
But - the water in your coffee just goes right through because of its diuretic effect so the dehydration is not resolved until consuming even more water.
Tolerance grows to the cortisol increase, so if you're a chronic coffee drinker, you don't have to worry.
for every one cup of coffee, you have to drink 3 cups of water just to equalize. 2 cups of coffee = 6 cups of water. Most people don't drink that in an entire day. Coffee dehydration is a real problem
@@americanlostinvietnam3721 Is that true? I always wondered what the loss was. Lol!
@@guyinpajamapants6892 it is true. CF drinkers are usually chronically dehydrated which taxes the kidneys and liver and will cause dark circles under the eyes. Make sure you compensate cf with enough water with a little honey and sea salt.
Just playing with 1-3hr delays has already produced very pleasant, noticeable effects. Thanks Doc!
It goes without saying that it's a undoubtedly healthy life lesson.
I was having this very trouble and had been suffering a lot today you revealed it . I'm grateful to you Dr.
Hope it'll clarify crazy coffee lover
Thank you
I’ve been thinking about this lately! I realized that I drink my coffee and not any water!! I drink the coffee throughout the day and just take it with me all day. I don’t take water with me so when I’m thirsty I just drink my coffee. I realized that if I had water I would definitely be drinking more of that. So now I will bring a bottle of water with me as well as my coffee. Thanks Doc!!
just drink water, throw the coffee away
Oh yay! Thanks for the message! I’ve been instinctively doing things right 😊 I Always promise myself to drink a bottle of water before coffee and I take about an hour or so before I finally get the chance to make coffee anyway lol
Wow, so glad for years the first thing I do in the morning when my feet hit the floor is drink at least one bottle of water! Then make the coffee.
This Dr is a real Health practitioner
as clear as mud ... I think he means drink lots of water and wait a long time before your first coffee ... sort of !
Yes, I love Dr. Mandell, but I think he could've made this one "A Great Day" by clarifying what we SHOULD drink before having that first cup of coffee.
@@medicinalpurposes4860 Yep, I was waiting for him to suggest what to drink before having a cup of coffee. Plain water, perhaps?? Some info seemed missing??
Water would be the best. When you wake up, you've lost a liter of water and are dehydrated. Water is the best, healthiest re-hydrator. What I kept waiting for him to say how long we should wait before we have the first cup of coffee.
I drink water while I wait for my coffee because I am so thirsty when I wake up. For me, that's about an hour. I usually start the coffee about 20ish minutes after I wake up and I use a stovetop percolator which takes longer than a regular drip machine (but, it is sooo worth it!!).
Inference isn’t all that difficult
@@medicinalpurposes4860 yes I agree
Beautiful precious new day beautiful sunshine butterfly's are just moving happy in the flowers gardens it's sure good to be alive, Good morning doc thanks definitely will share eye opening,
Thanks for keeping useful videos short! Its 5.50am and I was just having my regular 3 cups
Thank you, Docor Mandel!! God sent me here today.
As always, great tips and advice Doc! 👌🏼😎 Nowadays I usually start the day with a couple (2-3) glasses of water, ionized alkaline/Kangen water that is, first before I drink or eat anything at all. During the week I don't even eat or drink coffee the first 5 to 8 hours upon waking up, just the water. Never thought I would be able to do that tbh but apparently you get used to it. Feel(s) so much better!
I drink my Kangen water 💦 1st thing in the morning also . I don’t drink coffee often if I do I wait around 11am to drink 1 cup of organic coffee ☕️ of course made with the best water in the world 🌎 . 😀
I've noticed so many benefits since giving up coffee, I'm even training harder in the gym and I'm able to recover quicker between sets. This is strange to me because it seems coffee was causing me anxiety and effecting me in a negative way during my training. I'm not knocking anyone for drinking it, this is just my own personal experience. Oh the withdrawal symptoms were crazy I was sick as a dog the first week I give up coffee, but once I got over that i was firing on all cylinders.
Trying to avoid it is quite difficult. I’m still trying. Respect to you for doing so.
@@jonathanedwards3702 respect to you too and good luck 👍
Coffee definitely adds to my anxiety but when I try to quit it I have no energy to live at all. What a conundrum
That’s exactly what happened to me, gave up about a month ago. Sleeping better, training better absolutely loving it. Never going back.
@@pashagymlife977 cortisol is catabolic. It breaks down muscle for energy. ThibArmy is a YT channel I think you'd get a lot out of, you've definitely made a smart choice.
Thank you doc you're the best I've learned so much from you over the last couple years I think it's going to probably about 4 or 5 years I've been calling you on RUclips and you never disappoint so I really appreciate you giving me so much knowledge and you have been such a blessing in my life God bless keep up the good work and you know we love you hugs and kisses from Palm springs California please take care thank you
Great advice. I wrestled back in the day, so I understand how much water the body loses overnight. Large glass of water in the morning is clutch
Because of my addiction to coffee, but how acidic to body it is, and raising cortisol, indeed - i am drinking decaffeined only with lots of water called “sulinka” which is mineral pro- alcaline water which helps body to go back to the righ pH level. I drink lots of water during the day anway.
I feel the cortisol kick in and I have to go take a walk, or I will feel like fighting. I still LOVE coffee.❤
I've switched to decaf coffee in the a.m....2 cups of organic Hazelnut, actually with CoffeeMate making it a café au lait. Love every sip made by my hubby ❤❤❤. Love your work Dr Mandell and when you end saying, 'Make it a great day'! 👍☕☕👍
Coffee mate is full of seed oil, and other ingredients that are inflammatory, If you need a creamer, look into LAIRD Or just get a nut creamer that doesn’t have more than a gram or two of sugar in it
Blessings to you, Dr. Mandell and everyone.
Once again, blessedly great advice. SOOOOOO appreciated & taking on board.
Coffee is a drug and in my 70th year I quit it!…I drank organic freshly ground dark roast for many years believing all the health hype benefits of it!…But now experience a far healthier smoother running fit body without it in Many ways!
Very informative. I start my morning daily with a warm cup of water with the juice of five green limes to hydrate my body and have my usual breakfast half an hour later. I drink my cup of black coffee two hours later at 1000 hrs and feel very energetic. Never have your coffee first thing in the morning or your health will suffer. Cheers!
Went from 3 cups to one good one.
As soon as I wake up/sit up,
I chug a big mug of distilled water. Changes everything.
Love to this channel.
I do not think anyone of morning coffee drinkers will listen to what you’re saying. However, I have about 2 glasses of water first thing in the morning before diving into my filter coffee. I hope I am doing OK.
LOL
How much water is in the 2 glasses overall? I'm planning to switch to having a 500ml cup of water in the mornings. I tried this idea this morning and I feel in many ways it did help. I don't know when is a good time to have the first coffee drink however. I have one when I'm at work about 90minutes after getting out of bed. I might ditch the coffee I have before setting out to work and just have 1 at work and 1 when I arrive home. The little health tweaks that come with age!
THANK GOD!! I thought you were going to say the number one thing not to do with coffee is have a cigarette with it.
Now I can smoke guilt free.
😂😂😂
Both my aunt and my mother in law died from smoking. They both smoked for many years since they were young and my mother tin law gave up smoking 15 years ago but it was too late. The damage had been done. They both suffered COPD and had to go on oxygen tanks and had so much trouble breathing. In the end they were so bad they both had so much anxiety and depression from being so sick. They could no longer breathe very well and both died. So please please please realize smoking will end your life in a very bad way and sooner than you think. Don’t have regrets and quit before it’s too late. They both died too young.
I don’t really smoke. It was a joke @@pagerus
@@TinCupChalice40 no that’s fine. I figured it was a joke and I’m glad you don’t. I’m just saying to anyone out there. It’s horrible horrible horrible. It has long term affects. Have a great one.
You just explained so much to me. I am physically and mentally tired all the time. So, I drink a lot of caffeine throughout the day.
Thanks, Doc. I truly appreciate what you do. Please, keep your authentic self always, as you already do.
Java Junkies unite 🤯 gotta have it, I told myself I was gonna quite a thousand times but addicting. 🤓
I stopped drinking coffee months ago, and I tried warm water with lemon juice and apple cider vinegar for a week. It's been over three weeks that I have been drinking it and I look forward to it every morning. Thanks Dr. for that.
I don’t even drink coffee but I still learned something useful
Thank you Dr. Mendel for this AWESOME VIDEO and keeping us healthy and happy
Want to lose weight then don't have high cortisol levels at all.
In fact when I've dropped coffee all together after 4 to 5 days my energy levels are incredibly great and my mood is very even. I'm such a nicer person to be around, and I just watch the weight drop away.
This is definitely a psychotropic drug.
Coffee does not only act as a diuretic. It also acts as a natural laxative. I take mine in the morning, because I don’t wanna deal with sudden afternoon bathroom breaks while in the middle of work.
Thanks Doc I think I was doing the best to myself by drinking a cup of coffee as I wake. It's a fack after I get tired and wondering how I felt that way.May God gives you long length of time to help people 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️
THANK YOU, Dr. Mandell! Blessings!!
I quit drinking coffee after 40 years, and it was the best thing I have done for my body. My overall health is so must better.
I started in my 40’s. 1 cup of black coffee per day. All lab work improved. Feel phenomenal.
Please dr mandell, I have two questions if you can respond to me.
1) what helps stiff and sore muscle; hot or cold pack. Which one is more beneficial. Any advice to releive the soreness
2) I have a mild scoliosis in my middle back. Its sore and painful when I touch it. Any suggestions.
Thank you in advance. I am very grateful to you dr
What I would suggest,why don't you try both( cold and hot compress) so you will know which is better.experience is the answer.
Contrast showering- 30 seconds hot as you can take it, 30 seconds cold as you can, alternate 6x.
I did this with 2 bulging discs 2-3 times a day, it made the inflammation just bearable enough to go to work.
I still do it to loosen stiff muscles the day after hard exercise.

Tks a lot lolex. I will try it
I went from drip to espresso machine......1st thing after waking up. Like I'm a total bean junkie but am willing to give this rec a go. Learned the hard way to be kind to my body. . .and it w return the favor!
Thanks Dr Mandell.
It’s the aroma that coffee used to have that was so inviting. What happened to that aroma? The taste is there but not that aroma. It used to fill the house and it was the wake up signal for everyone.
It certainly doesn’t feel like I wake up with peak cortisone levels, as I am groggy and unproductive. Coffee kickstarts my being productive - at my sharpest around 10:30am. I don’t necessarily need more coffee later in the morning or afternoon.
Exactly. I get up groggy. Two cups of black coffee and I'm good. It's the only coffee I drink all day. So, who do I believe? This guy or my lyin' eyes?
@@60-Is-The-New-30 Well, caffeine is certainly known as a diuretic and you may be right that I may be dehydrated and not be aware of it, this being dry Wyoming. But dehydration being the "root of most diseases"? You'd have to point me to published studies on that. I go by how I feel, and I feel pretty darn energized after 2 cups of coffee, a glass of OJ, and a hearty breakfast. Diabetes, arthritis, and other illnesses have been shown to be related to obesity, so if illness was my concern, I'd go there first. Fortunately, I'm slim. :)
Cortisol
@@wyominghome4857 you wake up groggy because of caffeine
I was like you and quit this spring.the best thing ever.
Now every morning I wake up at 7 and sometimes I go to bed at 1 am.un the morning I feel fresh energy .do not need anything I have to force myself to drink water or electrolytes.
I do not need coffee to start my day.
Caffeine stays in your system for 12 hours so you are in a circle all the time with fresh caffeine in the blood stream and old caffeine in the blood stream.this destroys your sleep completely you will never be able to go to deep sleep .you sleep but I is a shallow sleep and you even may move a lot while sleeping.
The majes you groggy in the morning.
Understand this why do you sleep
To get energy and get fresh I you wake up groggy I means you are doing something absolutely wrong.
Example.
My 8 years old son wakes up in the morning exploding with energy.does he needs coffee NO.how come he hwas amazing energy and I a groggy.
Quit coffee completely washed it out of my system for about 3 weeks and now I am absolutely fine.never felt better.
Caffeine destroyed your body completely.
Also some people are caffeine sensitive more sensitive than others you maybe one of them.
But for sure you do not have to wake up feeling groggy .
Coffee or not.
Caffeine messes up your cortisol levels and thavstress hormone can damage your organs because you are basically living una constant flight or fight mode.
This is a thing that I do not miss at all from coffee.
Omg I cannot believe I did it.i finally quit drinking tis garbage
If people could understand the benefits of quiting drinking this poison ofbthenerve system.
Good luck to you man.
@@EPICSOUNDTRAX 100/ true
Every single word is correct
That's why I drink 16oz of water first thing in the morning after getting up. I usually wait 2 hours before getting in my first cups of coffee. Drinking water really wakes you up.
Getting up and moving around to get that glass of water really wakes you up.
One can drink coffee and water they aren’t mutually exclusive 😂 large scientific studies suggest coffee ( max of 5 ) per day promotes good health rich in fibre, antioxidants promotes healthy micro biome and reduces disease. Increases lifespan by years. Worth noting that decaffeinated has same benefits
@@lisadefries6718 Fibre from coffee? I think not. Scientific studies do recommend hydration. Water hydrates; coffee pulls fluids from the body. But, overall, I like your concept of coexisting. Both have benefits.
You're great Doc, God bless you ALWAYS!!! 💯💯💯
Greetings from Brazil. I drink chamomile tea early in the morning, and my cup of coffee after 11 a.m.. :) Thanks so much, Dr. Mandell!!
If it’s the caffeine raising our cortisol levels, does this mean I can have decaf in the morning?
I will have water first up though.
I wonder how long we have to wait until we can have a coffee?
Thank you 😁
I have not drank a cup of coffee for 8 years. Plus drinking one cup in the morning won’t do you harm in less your drinking a lot of it all day and not changing it to tea or water.
THANKYOU ! I Hydrate in the morning , caffeine comes later if at all .
I actually gave up coffee and I feel so much better - energy levels are consistent, no peaks and lows. Was drinking about 9 fresh coffees a day!
I just finished my coffee. First I had my cup of water.
John Brown
That's how I do it. I drink water first thing after I use the toilet. You really have to drink water all day.
Thank you. I really needed to see that video I've been off coffee all summer and I'm ready to start back up when fall begins and now I know when and when not to drink it
Thank you for this info. Doc !!!! I am going to listen to you on this because it makes perfect sense to me!!!!🤗
woah I noticed the fatigue you were talking about by drinking coffee first thing in the morning. recently tried to move it like you said, and energy levels got better! this is legit
