Important note: I am not counter-signalling the consumption of coffee. This was just my personal choice to scale down the intake. You do as you wish with your relationship with coffee :-)

Hello lads, today I want to talk a bit about my colonial addiction.
So what I'm talking about here is coffee.
If you have been with me for quite some time you know that I am a big fan of coffee, of this colonial luxury good.
So basically I thought to make this video about three months ago but I always have so many video ideas so usually I say to myself that I will talk about something and then a lot of things come in between.
So yes we're a bit behind schedule here because I stopped drinking coffee on a regular basis at least in September last year.
So it's been quite a while and what I mean with quitting drinking coffee is that during the last seven years or so I had three or four cups of coffee every single day.
So that was my routine addiction as it were.
And I thought to myself, you know, this is not reasonable to do anymore.
So I stopped cold, which meant that I had one last cup of coffee during a Friday, I remember.
And then the Saturday after I had a tremendous headache.
So if you are thinking about quitting the coffee consumption, be prepared that at least one day will probably be quite hard in that regard.
The days after that I felt a bit sluggish but after that it was back to normal and then I felt regularly energized etc.
And one thing you will notice when you go off coffee as well that sleep yields much more and this makes perfect sense because if you drink coffee for a long period of time your brain will become dependent upon caffeine to stimulate the awakeness hormone in your brain.
I will link our video below so you can get the science behind coffee.
But anyway I thought to myself that since I'd been on it for so extremely long I thought you know why I'm gonna challenge myself where I'm gonna quit this addiction and see if it's any problem and it wasn't really a problem.
The first day was yeah as I said a bit unpleasant but it was good.
Anyway so what I did after that I waited about two months and then I started having one cup of coffee every Saturday and that yielded a tremendous effect I can tell you that much.
Then I was hyped the entire day.
Very good for video production because then I could just you know make three videos for one day just because I was so hyped from that cup of coffee.
So what I do now is that I have a cup of coffee every once in a while maybe three cups each week or something like that.
The thing also with coffee in Sweden that it's such a social thing that you have a filka which basically means that you have a coffee with someone and that is a social thing so it's not reasonable for me to cut it out completely but it is also not reasonable for me to drink it three or four times a day because it's unnecessary simply simply put.
And it's also a thing about the teeth.
That's actually something my dentist said that if you drink coffee with either sugar or milk, I drank it with milk, then you have the onset of carriers every time you drink it.
So now I drink the majority of times now I drink it black.
So that was also one thing, the teeth.
But yeah, mainly it was just I didn't want to feel addicted to something.
I wanted to you know let the sleep stand for the rejuvenation of the body each night.
So yeah that was my experience of quitting coffee.
If you're doing it yourself be prepared for maybe one day at least where you feel an unpleasant headache but after that it's it's fine after a week and then you're back to normal.
And then also even if you want to continue drinking coffee on a regular basis, I would still recommend that you go off every once in a while.
And going off being then that you don't drink for a week or so because then you reset the receptors in your brain.
So basically what we'll do going forward is that I will have a coffee every once in a while but not going back to the you know regular routine of drinking like three or four cups a day.
