Addicted to coffee? Here's how you can sip smarter and healthier

Love coffee but worried about the side effects? Here’s how to enjoy it the healthy way!

Track your coffee intake: Keep count of your cups. Moderation helps you savour the flavour and avoid overindulgence.

Switch to natural sweeteners: Replace sugar with stevia, honey, or jaggery. Skip chocolate syrups—use dark chocolate or unsweetened cocoa instead.

Time your coffee wisely: Avoid coffee in the evening or on an empty stomach. Timing can improve sleep and digestion.

Downsize your coffee mug: Smaller mugs mean smaller portions. It’s a simple way to curb excessive caffeine intake.

Choose quality ingredients: Pick good-quality beans, low-fat milk, or plant-based options. Avoid processed creamers and sugary milk powders.

Make coffee a want, not a need: Enjoy coffee as a treat, not a crutch. Mindful sipping makes it more special.
