Holy crap!Did anyone else know this?

[youthere]

An apple will wake you up better than a cup of coffee. I read this somewhere and thought "Yeah, Right." But I've been trying to kick the caffeine so I thought "What the hey" and IT WORKS. I feel better and more alert than I did after my morning coffee, and none of that crappy shaky feeling.

1. Sorry, can't take all thay chewing noise in the morning

wakes me up too fast!

[redqueen]

Really?

No, I didn't know that... thanks, I'm going to try it!

I don't do caffiene, and I'm a morning person by nature, but I know some people who could really use this. :)

[youthere]

5. It really works.

I never thought it would because quite honestly, I wasn't THAT committed to giving up the coffee-but it does.

3. Wow, and I thought Johnny Cash had the answer to that. Thanks

:hi:

[youthere]

6. Errr...you lost me with the johnny Cash reference..

but.. you're welcome?

[autorank]

youthere, The Man in Black did time for posession of speed...

which he may have used on occasion to get going in the late morning. Sorry for being age-ist.

[youthere]

18. No apology..

maybe that apple didn't wake me up as much as I thought!:crazy:

[autorank]

20. haha

:hi:

[ovidsen]

7. Maybe it's the sugar. nt

[youthere]

13. You could be right.

[Lisa0825]

24. I think it is the sugar. Do you get a sugar crash a little later?

If I have anything with much sugar in it in the morning, I get really hungry before lunch, and I get tired.

[youthere]

14. self delete-dupe

[Richard Steele]

9. Sugar rush. Natural sugars are faster/better than processed.

More "normal-feeling" rush, much gentler crash.

Not to mention that the apple is 'Nature's Toothbrush'!

[youthere]

12. Yes..not only am I awake

but my breath has never been fresher!:silly:

[barackmyworld]

10. carbs and sugar

a natural wake-up!

[youthere]

15. werks fer me...

mmmmm...sugar

[democracyindanger]

11. I did not know that. But I did know apples are great for curing bad breath

[youthere]

16. I didn't know about the breath thing either,

but I knew apples would clean your teeth..well clean teeth nice breath-duh for me.

[Steph13]

19. Ooh I'm going to try an apple in the morning...

...with my soda! :D

[youthere]

22. lol

[ComerPerro]

21. I'll have to try that

[youthere]

23. hope it works for you.

only problem is..I can see our "apple expenditure" going through the roof.

[ComerPerro]

27. It's gotta be cheaper than buying coffee

[In_The_Wind]

25. I didn't know that.

Will apple juice work ?

[JitterbugPerfume]

26. you will get my coffee

out of my cold, dead hand

[youthere]

29. LOL

[In_The_Wind]

31. I recently went from 6 to 8 cups of coffee a day to all decaf.

I really can use some help while I'm trying to adjust.

[youthere]

28. I don't know if apple juice will work. Worth a shot.

[hfojvt]

32. what about applesauce? n/t

[youthere]

34. Only if taken rectally...LOL

[In_The_Wind]

33. mornings are not the same without caffeine

I'm willing to give apple juice a try - what the heck .

[noonwitch]

30. Diet Coke has been my wake up since they started selling it

And Tab was before that. I don't drink as much Diet Coke as I used to, but I still like that eye opener.
