...but I did. I never thought I could do it. I have loved my morning coffee since I first got into the daily habit around 1993. But that's what desparation will do to you. And having headaches nearly every day of the week creates a desparate situation. Over the years, I had read various articles about how drinking coffee is supposedly bad for your adrenal system, or how it's full of chemicals, or whatever. Then once in a while an article would come out saying how a cup of coffee every day was good for you for one reason or another. I would cling to that and say, "Alright! I'm sticking with my coffee!" But then somewhere along the way, I decided it would be a good idea to take my daily half-decaf/half-regular cup of coffee and break it down even more with a mixture of herbal coffee. So around 2006 or so, I began the practice of mixing 1/2 herbal coffee grounds, 1/4 decaf grounds, and 1/4 regular coffee grounds for my morning brew. I thought it was going to be the healthier thing. But after a while, a couple years maybe, I began to notice that everytime I finished a cup of coffee, I began to get a headache. What's the deal? I thought coffee was supposed to help headaches, not give them. This is where I began digging deeper into understanding how foods (and drinks) contribute to headaches. And boy was there a lot to learn...
