Why Cut Back?

On the whole, caffeine seems to be safe for most people, at least up to the amount you’d get from four cups of brewed coffee a day. But that much could make you anxious, disrupt your sleep, or get your pulse racing.

Decaf

If you’re looking to cut back on coffee, this option gives you the taste with less caffeine. Some makers use chemicals or gases, like carbon dioxide, to remove the stimulant. The Swiss Water Method uses only water. Sellers must remove 97% of the caffeine from a bean to call it decaffeinated. After that, it’ll only have 3 milligrams to 12 milligrams per cup, compared with 100 milligrams in a regular cup.

Green Tea

If you’re ready to cut back on caffeine, it’s best not to do it too suddenly. That could leave you tired, groggy, foggy-brained, and peevish. It might also give you a splitting headache. Green tea can help. In addition to cell-protecting antioxidants, it has a quarter of the caffeine in a cup of coffee.

Golden Milk Turmeric Tea

This bright yellow spice could help your heart, ease arthritis pain, and relieve skin irritation from cancer treatments. Just stir it into a warmed jar of almond or coconut milk. Put a lid on it, and shake it until it’s good and frothy. Then, pour it into a cup and sprinkle it with bit of nutmeg. You can sweeten it with honey or sugar. But try it first. You may find it satisfying enough without sweetener.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Toss a capful or so into a glass of water or warm it up into hot tea. Add lemon, honey, and even cinnamon, if you like. Don’t overdo it, because the acid can hurt your teeth. Vinegar may help keep your blood sugar more stable after you eat, though doctors aren’t sure yet. You also might feel more satisfied on days you have vinegar and be less likely to overeat.
