RE: Fresh Celery Juice - Medicinal Cooking Collective Challenge - Drink This to Eat That

Great info and very helpful. Thanks for share! I'm not sure that I'll drop the morning coffee but I think I can drink it after the celery juice, just like your husband did at the beginning. Let's see how far it drives me. Thanks for the info!

Happy to share our experiences. My husband didn't drink coffee in the morning after celery juice even in the beginning. He drank 1 cup of coffee around 4 or 5 pm a couple of times a week when he crashed and that only lasted about three weeks. He stopped drinking coffee completely after the initial few weeks of transitioning to the new routine.

This is the Medical Medium on coffee:

Even if you choose to drink only one coffee each morning and fill the rest of your day with glasses of water and a hydrating smoothie meal, you are still likely to be dehydrated and may even be on the brink of developing thick blood. While coffee is not the worst thing you can ingest, it certainly has an impact on your level of hydration.

If you choose to enjoy a cup of decaf or regular caffeinated coffee every so often, that’s ok. Just take care to be especially mindful of seeking out ample hydration from the other foods and liquids you consume. This is true for any dehydrating beverage. If you indulge in a soda, alcoholic beverage, latte, or iced coffee— bringing in hydration through the other food and drink choices you make is critical for keeping your blood thin and your body running smoothly.

If you are dealing with some health issues or gut discomfort, I would recommend stop drinking coffee in the morning, so you can give your body the best chance to heal. Take small steps so you are not overwhelmed.
