I'm a Mormon and i drink Coffee!

I know this is shocking.... Keep reading for the full details!

Yes, you read the tittle correctly..... I am a Mormon, and i drink coffee :)

But before your head starts spinning out of control like the exorcist, hear me out;

Yes, i drink coffee, but not like most nor for the same reasons as most.

I don't wake up and absolutely need coffee to function. And i don't down coffee mindlessly throughout the day.

Yes, coffee is a stimulant. Just like pepsi, coca cola, a bar of chocolate and even sugary treats!

Coffee also has an amazing ability to mobilize fat* in the body. Which means, it'll assist in burning stored body fat as your primary source of fuel for energy!

Instead of adding unhealthy garbage like ingredients in pepsi, coca cola, sugar, processed foods that contain sugar and alcohol sugars, chocolate bars ~ which by the way~ 99% contain caffeine.... I choose to consume pure coffee. Our body is our temple, and i'd rather be consuming one cup of coffee for a specific reason, during a specific time during the week, than to be consuming any of the above.

"All things which come from earth are to used with Judgement, not by excess"

D&C 59:20

"The lord counseled not to use wine, strong drinks, tabaco, and hot drinks" D&C 89 1-9

To make it extremely crystal clear I AM NOT HERE TO JUSTIFY OR CONVINCE you of why this is my preference, my choice, nor to help coffee addicts who convert into saying it's ok.

Wine, strong drinks, and tabacco have been scientifically proven to cause more harm than any justification you could ever come up with.

Coffee on the other hand, is a double edged sword. It can be used for good as well as bad.

For example; if you absolutely cannot live without first drinking coffee or you just drink it because it's become a habit... You've got a problem buddy.

Likewise for members of the church who are addicted to having that entire bar of chocolate every single day, or those who down all these sodas constantly throughout the day, or those who bake sugary treats every single day and can't live without a piece of cake or pie daily. They've also got a huge problem!

Again, i use coffee sparingly, for specific reasons, and during specific times and hours throughout the week. Like during the days i do fasted training, or during the days i do BulletProff coffee ( blogs on these to come soon!).

Everyones spiritual journey is unique to them. And the relationship between them and heavenly father are unknown to the rest!

You must pray often and ask for guidance to know if things are right for you specifically!

At the end of the day, heavenly father doesn't want us to be dependent or addicted to anything here on earth other than his word.

And i reiterate my point; This my journey, my choice, my preference. I have asked heavenly father for permission, and that's all the approval i need.

And with that in mind, i use caution, and awareness.

I am Mevelin, I am a Mormon (member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints), and i drink coffee.
