🌿 Health Hack: The 90-Minute Coffee Trick ☕

Today’s health hack is all about timing…

With a suggestion to wait 90-120 minutes after waking up before drinking your morning coffee.

Here’s why you might want to try this out:

• ☀️ Helps align your body with your natural cortisol peak, naturally enhancing alertness

• 🚀 Makes caffeine more effective, elevating your energy levels throughout the day

• 🧠 Reduces caffeine dependency, fostering a healthier relationship with your morning cup

An effective hack to try while you wait is going for an early morning walk and getting early sunlight exposure.

This is a great way to help cement your body’s circadian rhythm, while making coffee even more effective and enjoyable.
