Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been experimenting with cutting down my caffeine intake and have been swapping some regular coffees with these decaf beans. While maybe it would be better not to have extra coffee at all, I do like the taste and the mountain water process seems to be a clean, chemical free way to remove the caffeine without affecting the flavour too much. I generally only having one regular coffee in the morning now I do find that my sleep has improved.

Interesting. What’s your grind size and brewing method?
I’m using a Breville espresso machine. The roaster recommended grinding slightly finer than for their regular espresso beans which seems to be working well.
I've been taking Moringa powder (home grown, dried & ground) in the morning with some fruit honey & Greek yoghurt.
Initially I was using too much & it made me feel sick in my stomach, so I cut back on my coffee.
I eventually halved how much Moringa I took & my stomach settled down.
I find the Moringa gives me great energy & so haven't been having that second coffee.
Might drop coffee entirely soon but we'll see. I really enjoy having a coffee while scrolling Nostr.
Interesting. I hadn’t heard of Moringa before. I’ll have to look into it.
I’ve stopped taking most supplements that I had been using for the moment as I’m trying to figure out what actually makes a difference. I feel my energy levels have dropped a little but I’m not sure yet if that is from cutting back on caffeine, cutting the other supplements, or just tiredness from some late nights of work.
I have also considered trying to drop coffee completely but I do enjoy having a coffee and I would probably just end up substituting for some other type of drink which isn’t necessarily that helpful.
Moringa is a plant that has lots of vitamins and antioxidants. They use it to combat malnutrition in poor places because it grows easily.
I haven't eaten vegetables for about 5 years but started eating this 2 weeks ago. I planted a tree about 7 years ago but never ate much of it because it didn't taste very nice. I took cuttings and planted them in my Syntropic rows for chop & drop mulch but I'm now experimenting with taking it.
It's taken by westerners for it's anti-inflammatory properties. Good for arthritis & skin health apparently. It looks like it was part of some multilevel marketing scheme so there's lots of hype around it.
It has a peppery taste like mustard greens. It costs me zero to take it & I felt guided to it. Going to keep growing it & taking it to see what happens. I do feel like it makes me more alert & gives a me bit of energy throughout the day.
Very interesting, thanks! I might have to experiment with that one myself at some point.
