will switching from coffee to grean tea help?

Yesterday I posted about wanting to get off my beloved mocha lattes.  I do enjoy them so.  But, I'm finding I'm getting jumpy and having trouble sleeping.  If I don't drink some coffee, I get a headache. 

 

What about green tea?  I enjoy plain iced green tea (no sweetener).  Will that help transition off coffee?  Or just confuse the issue??

I would think it would help as green tea has much less caffeine than coffee. I would check and see how much caffeine your green tea has and have one or two glasses a day.

My husband recently switched from coffee to tea.   :)  He seemed to do well drinking green tea.  One of his favorites was STASH Chai Green Tea.  

 

For help sleeping you might consider taking a liquid calcium/magnesium supplement before bed.  Start with 1/2 the bottle dosage and work your way up to the bottle dosage.  Magnesium is a muscle relaxer so if your body isn't used to that much mag., you'll have loose stools in the morning.  ;) But as your body gets used to the mag, that will stop.

I was able to quit soda and coffee by just having one cup of green tea every morning. I didn't have any headaches at all even though I went from having 1-2 cups of coffee in the morning and usually one soda in the afternoon.

Green tea and black tea often have just as much caffeine as coffee. Herbal tea does not have caffeine.

 

Good luck weaning off caffeine. I was never addicted to it so when I had to avoid caffeine it was not hard for me. When I crave coffee I just have decaf. I know some people have concerns about decaf. I don't. I don't drink it everyday anyway.

 

You can also find decaf chai tea. Chai makes a nice replacement of coffee lattes. You can still put chocolate in it.
