@Tfmonkey What is your opinion on coffee?

Because I would like to know if it is good or bad.

When I look on the internet people say how good and magical it is.

So far I know only that it has vasoconstrictive properties, meaning that blood vessels narrow to restrict blood flow

affect sleep, adrenalin glands and increase blood pressure.

@Stahesh @Tfmonkey I personally prefer Guarana, not in the form of an energy drink though. Just the one marketed as a normal drink.

What I like about it is that, while coffee gives a huge but short bust of energy that makes you want to drink more coffee once it's over so as to not be tired again, guarana instead gives you a small but long lasting increase in energy, which is better for long work hours.

It also has another benefits: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/guarana-benefits

@Stahesh @Tfmonkey Also because the bust of energyvis small, it doesn't interrupt your sleep as much, although I still avoid to drink it past noon. The taste is also nice since the non-energy drink ones are made out of the fruit rather than the seed of the plant.

@doggel @Tfmonkey I tried guarana in pills and did not feel anything special.

@Stahesh @Tfmonkey That's the thing about the small but long burst of energy I was talking about. At first I drank it for the taste but then I realized I was more productive when I did. The extra energy doesn't feel like you are about to go out running right here right now but rather just as an "It's easier to work more through the day"

@doggel @Tfmonkey I mainly drink coffee to be sligthly in better state compare to normal state. Even then both state are pretty shit.

But in mind it is like mud or darkness that cover my mind / imagination

on the other hand it feels spiritually better. So I am little confused If I should drink it or no.

@Stahesh @Tfmonkey Mmm... If that's the case, then probably Guayusa will do the trick, it's similar to coffee in terms of caffeine but it is also known to improve mood: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/guayusa

Also, maybe adding nootropics like Lion's mane should help for focus and whatnot, although I don't know much about nootropics to be honest
