A beautifully awesome day, one where I could share many wonder filled moments. In addition to having friends stop over for a fun game of croquet, I had a realization I would like to share. When I was sick last week I stopped drinking coffee and had no desire for chocolate, and I love chocolate. I replaced the coffee with herbal teas that helped me to breathe better and to heal from the cold. After 10 days without either coffee or chocolate I realize my body is not in as much pain and I do not feel quite as stiff as I did before. The only change, besides sleeping for three days, is no coffee or chocolate. Talking to a friend, who is a nurse, I found that both coffee and chocolate can restrict your blood capillaries causing tightness and pain. There are many teas I can substitute for coffee, but I’m not sure what I can substitute for chocolate. I may try small amounts occasionally and see what happens, but at least for now, no chocolate or coffee. Any suggestions for a substitute for chocolate? My wonder filled moment, no pain.
In Gratitude,
Linda G
