Caffeine break

My heart rate was acting up on caffeinated coffee and decaf, regardless of brand. It still acts up even with all the 'good' stuff gone from my life, just not as violently

Caffeine break

In a word, no.* Nor wine, whisky/ey, chocolate, or licorice. I upped my fish consumption to compensate for the Omega 3 in capsules. * I'm not sure there is one. It took three months at a pound a week to find a decaf that ticked all the espresso boxes. And I still had a racing heart waking me up
