If you love the taste of a hot savoury cup of coffee in the morning but need to seriously cut down on your caffeine you can try out “No-Caff”, one of a large range of caffeine free savoury drinks designed to fill the coffee gap in our lives. Another great alternative is “Barley-Cup”.

These drinks are different from decaffeinated beverages because they are made entirely of alternative substances. That means they have no coffee in them whatsoever and are therefore completely 100% caffeine free. They do contain Chicory which is famous for it’s ability to enhance the flavour of coffee and as a result they still taste great in the morning as a coffee substitute and are perfect for people who cannot tolerate caffeine.

It may shock you to learn that a lack of hydration can cause a serious deficiency in your focus and concentration. A drop of just 2% in your body’s hydration levels can cause short term memory problems and mental dullness. One of the best ways to ensure you get the most out of your working day is to make sure you always have a good supply of water to hand. Taking a bottle or two of mineral water to work with you can dramatically increase your motivation, the work you get done and the feel good feeling during work you need to get through the day. Many people will consider drinking copious amounts off coffee whilst at work to keep them going but this is only causing a downward spiral. The caffeine will keep them going for only short periods of time while at the same time dehydrating them causing them to feel down, foggy headed and creating concentration problems.

Try switching your coffee to water instead and you will notice a considerable difference in your working day. Not only that but you will be helping improve all sorts of things in your body too such as a healthy digestive system, healthy skin and even control body weight.
