Greetings Divas!

Let's talk about coffee. I used to absolutely adore meeting friends at the local coffee house for a nice cup of latte, or expresso/americano. You get the idea. Now, truth is, sometimes I simply drank too much caffeine and that put a damper on my day - but oh well. I was in a fantasy most of the time just hoping for that perfect cup.

Until I took a trip to the pH Miracle Center and went through detox because there's no way you're gonna get a drop of coffee at that place. Then I learned WHY they don't serve coffee or black tea for that matter. And let me tell you why...

Coffee with cream and sugar has a pH of 4.0 - that is 1,00 times as acidic as distilled water! Black coffee is slightly better with a pH of 5.0. Coffee contributes to keeping your acidic fat cells firmly in place. It's time to let go of the coffee Divas. You may want to start by cutting back a little every week until you are ready to experience the extraordinary benefits of living without coffee. And you know Divas - coffee is not good for the skin. It's tremendously dehydrating.

My suggestion: Try experimenting with herbal teas. You can add stevia and soy cream to give it more flavor too.

Truthfully, I never thougth I could do it - and it stuns me that I don't miss it a bit. The more alkaline my body gets the more I crave foods/drinks that hydrate.

That's all for today! Wishing you great health...
