Coffee has been a part of my everyday life since childhood. As far as I can remember, my grandma told me that I started drinking coffee when I was only 5 years old, I grew up knowing how good coffee is especially with you add some milk or creamer on it.
Coffee can be beneficial to some but not for people like me who are suffering from acid reflux and palpitations. I used to drink 5-8 cups of coffee in a day which did not result well.
Now that I'm about to turn 40 soon, not getting any younger and still taking care of my family, I needed to do some precautions regarding my health and do some appropriate actions to take care of my self, and that's when I took the opportunity to improve myself and decide to become a better version of myself.
I decided to choose healthy alternatives on what I got used to and to make a better version of me.
So I started from my energizer which is coffee. From my usual 5-8 cups, I have learned to reduce it and find a better and delicious alternative, without the acid and palpitations.
That's when I found out about Barlico products, which are made from Barley and Chicory, a healthy alternative which is their Barlico instant coffee substitute.
I started to replace my daily dose with Barlico Instant coffee substitute.
What's good about Barlico?
Barlico can be enjoyed by people from different walks of life and age. My daughter also enjoys Barlico product and her favorite is the Barlico Choco that has a real and rich taste of cocoa. Even kids, breastfeeding moms, and soon to be moms can enjoy this product. Barlico is made from Barley and Chicory.
- Barley- is known to be one of the Superfood because of its great health benefits. High in fiber content, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It helps to improve digestion, weight loss, helps control blood sugar level, helps lower high cholesterol and prevents heart disease.
- Chicory- is known to be a coffee substitute.that can treat heartburn, constipation, and arthritis. It is also rich in natural antioxidants which is good for the liver.
After a week, I noticed that my cravings stopped, no acid reflux, no palpitations and most importantly, no caffeine intake.
Now, I have not been drinking coffee for quite some time now but I still feel energized and awake even without caffeine.
Barlico has made great changes to me and I am glad to share this experience because it may also help you.
I know leaving behind what you get used to is not easy but if you wanted to live healthily, then don't hesitate because for sure it is worth it.
