If you're a coffee drinker and want to cut down on the amount of caffeine you ingest, we
suggest a good bean that has been decaffinated by the SWISS WATER PROCESS. You will know if this has been the process used by the SWP on the label. If you opt for a great dark roast or espresso,
you'll hardly know the difference from the high test stuff by the taste alone.
In the coffee substitute category, the closest we have found to providing the same satisfaction
as coffee is Teeccino, which comes in many different flavors. Teeccino contains no caffeine and is made totally from herbs and nuts. Teeccino
is delicious and has the same dark rich texture and brewing ritual of coffee. Some of the flavors taste
very similar to coffee, while others offer a different flavor; all very tasty.
Coconut Water is reported to be a great source of balanced electrolytes. And many of the brands taste super too. Electrolytes
include sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium and other minerals vital to proper body function. Why drink sports drinks loaded
with sugar and artificial ingredients when you can get the same or better results from a pure, natural single ingredient source?

We've tried a ton of the energy bars and protein bars and meal replacement bars.
In almost every one, there is something less than perfect - too high in sugar, too low in taste, etc. UNTIL we
discovered the Real Bar. REAL BAR is made of organically grown, sustainable, fair trade foods. It is the best tasting and most satisfying bar I've eaten -
bar none! Made of organic dark chocolate and grass fed whey protein, Real Bar is 100% non-GMO, wheat and gluten free. Comes
in a Vegan version too. There is nothing we don't like about this product except that we can't keep them in stock long enough
to grab some for ourselves! A real bar made by real people with the right ingredients for the right reasons.
- Stevia is a great substitute for processed sugar. Tastes great, comes in powder or liquid and also available in flavors.
We carry the Stevita Brand at Nashville Neuromuscular Center.
- If you're looking for a tasty drink to replace sodas,
we recommend making your own. A good quality sparkling mineral water with a little bit of flavored stevia can be very satisfying.
