Coffee is the world\u2019s most popular drug\u2026and it\u2019s legal! More specifically, it is a psychoactive drug, which means it is a chemical substance that alters the way a person feels and thinks. This is why some people consider themselves grumpy until a cup of coffee is placed in their hands first thing in the morning, and why they can\u2019t \u201cthink straight\u201d until they get a sip of that “heavenly goodness.” Caffeine is the reported black gold of the office-life realm, the lifeline of a college student, and one of the most popular beverages sold every single morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is all due to its effects and linked to the pace of life we have created for ourselves nowadays. Everything works faster, so we feel obliged to keep up and cram as much as we can into our daily lives without adding more hours to the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In America, about 90 percent of adults consume caffeine in some form<\/a>. We\u2019re familiar with the rush of blood and mental alertness it gives us for a few hours. Although caffeine is consumed for a pick-me-up, the amount people are consuming to keep up with modern lifestyles bring about the negative side effects, such as the increasing risk of greater bone loss on women, irregular heart palpitations, and the insomnia that arrives after a heavy day of drinking<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, Mother Nature has provided us with a variety of options that will naturally energize<\/a> us without experiencing the downsides of caffeine. Here are just a few:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pomegranate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a fresh pomegranate, natural sugar amounts to 73 percent of the total carbs. These sugars are quickly digested before they enter your cells and get used for an energy boost. Additionally, fresh pomegranates have powerful antioxidants<\/a> and are rich in fiber<\/a> and vitamin B-6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green Tea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This ancient drink is mostly famous for its huge calorie-burning and antioxidant benefits. This tea still has caffeine, although it is a much smaller amount. It differs from coffee in that it has long-term benefits. Green tea provides a more stable energy<\/a> as well as the enhancement of brain function and concentration<\/a>, which is shown when we choose to consume it over coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although apples and coffee provide you with a different kind of energy, this fruit fuels your body with more energy while helping to stabilize your blood sugar. It keeps you going with its natural sugar, vitamins, and minerals with no crashes to worry about. This is why teachers recommend students to sub the coffee for an apple right before a heavy exam. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lemon Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This drink is probably the simplest combination you could come up with, with some of the most amazing benefits<\/a> you can think of. One cup of fresh lemon juice contains 187 percent of the daily-recommended Vitamin C intake. Drinking lemon water aids digestion and promotes detoxification, while also boosting energy and mood. Compared to a cup of coffee\u2019s up-and-down stimulation, lemon water gives you long-lasting energy by hydrating and oxygenating the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it is true that coffee gives us an energy boost that hits us right away and allows us to feel productive for a little while, it can\u2019t be denied that there are many natural alternatives that grant our bodies energy without the caffeine crash.<\/p>\n
