In this video, Dr. Artour Rakhimov will discuss how Coffee/Caffeine dependency and addiction can be successfully treated and cured with breathing retraining, exercise and lifestyle changes which improve body oxygenation. In his introduction, he discusses how he has recently been consuming a lot of media including videos, podcasts and forum posts from different diet movements including ketogenic, zero carb, carnivorous, P.K.D. and their experiences with coffee consumption.
He talks about how Zsofia Clemens of Paleomedicina who works with the PKD diet, had previously endorsed some coffee consumption in the past but has now made changes and no longer recommends the beverage as it may lead to possible health problems/consequences due to possible increased permeability of the gut and intolerances or reactions some people may have to plant foods/drinks as coffee is derived from plants.
Many normalbreathing.org students have had questions related to coffee consumption and Dr. Artour has had his own observations for years regarding coffee use and it’s relation to breathing retraining and the Buteyko table of health zones.
Most modern people currently have a Control pause of around 20 seconds or less and many studies have shown that coffee can help and has very positive effects for this group of people. These effects include improved concentration, short term memory, reaction time.
From a breathing retraining viewpoint and his observations, he often noticed that people that start with a CP of 20 seconds often require many cups of coffee a day to function better were able to significantly reduce their consumption or even stop altogether once they achieved a higher CP/level of health in correspondence with the Buteyko table of health zones. He also noticed once they had improved there CP and achieved better levels of health the same person with the same cup of coffee often began to dislike consuming it as it gave them negative side effects such as being jittery, agitated, racing heart, etc.
Finally, to conclude the topic of the video, should you use coffee or not? If you have a low cp/ health level coffee may be beneficial for you, if you don’t react negatively to it and if you have or can achieve a high cp/ health level coffee is seldom needed. So if we're able to improve our body oxygen content with time and persistence using breathing retraining and physical exercise, coffee/caffeine addiction can be overcome.
