Healthy ways to get caffeine

Coffee has always been the best solution when you want to jumpstart your busy day, they say. It even gets to the point where we embrace jitters and palpitations, which makes us think that without the jitters, it’s not worth it at all. 🤣  But too much caffeine also has some downsides. An excessive amount of caffeine can cause anxiety and restlessness, not just jitters. 

Fortunately, there are easy healthy ways to get your caffeine. From alternative healthy coffee, tea to protein bars and supplements, we listed the healthiest sources of caffeine to get you a quick jolt of energy.

What is caffeine?

According to MedicineNet, Caffeine is the common name for 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine. When purified, caffeine produces an intensely bitter white powder that provides a distinctive taste. The word caffeine came from the German word Kaffee and the French word café, meaning coffee.

Caffeine is considered the most commonly used psychoactive drug in the world. It has been shown to affect mood, stamina, the cerebral vascular system, and gastric and colonic activity. 

Unique alternatives to get a quick jolt of energy

Caffeine is not just found in coffees. It could be in a tea or a supplement. Whatever you prefer, below are unique alternatives to caffeinate your way to productivity:

• Gums and mints. Worried about getting coffee breath? Or no time to mix a cup of joe? Pop up gums or mints that have caffeine content like the Neuro Gum.
• Vape or inhalers. You can still get a good kick of caffeine with these caffeine-infused devices. 
• Supplements. There are a few nootropic supplements that can give you caffeine without the jitters. Take MindHoney supplement as an example.
• CBD-infused mixes and drinks. Ditch the jitters with a CBD-infused coffee or other beverages that give you the same effect as the coffee.
