About the dangers of coffee made from coffee beans.

Let's start with what the Vedas say about this in a special section - Ayurveda. If translated into our modern language, the Vedas say about this drink like this: “ Belongs to the category of depressants. Is a narcotic and is addictive».
Coffee from coffee beans located in second place in terms of harm to the body after alcohol. The plant itself that grows on coffee beans, as well as everything that is produced from it, according to Ayurveda, belongs to products located in the Guna of ignorance. This means that everything you eat from this plant will cause degradation of your mind. As you can see, coffee interferes not only with healthy and proper nutrition, but also to the spiritual growth of a person.

COFFEE: TO DRINK OR NOT TO DRINK?

From the book of Dr. Torsunov O.G. “Ayurveda”.

“Coffee is a plant in the Guna of ignorance. In a person, drinking coffee, the brain and heart suffer. Coffee disturbs sleep. When a person gets up late, he has low blood pressure, a feeling of heaviness in his head, weakness and nausea. If he drinks coffee, all the unpleasant sensations go away in 5-10 minutes. But coffee depletes the nervous system, and the previous state returns after an hour or two. The pressure gradually decreases, and this decrease becomes more persistent. At the same time, the nervous system becomes increasingly overexcited. At the same time, the vascular-motor centers are depressed.

When a person drinks too much coffee, his nervous system becomes overstimulated and he loses sleep. When a person drinks coffee, a swing begins to work in his body: first, the tone rises sharply, then drops sharply. The person feels unwell and wants to drink coffee again. People who are addicted to coffee drink it 4-5 times a day, in accordance with the movement of the swing: the activity of the nervous system increases sharply, and then fades away again. And so on until a person completely destroys himself. The nervous system is becoming more and more exhausted. This affects the conductivity of the heart.

Coffee affects the blood vessels of the brain. A person’s nervous system weakens, he feels more and more irritable because his brain does not rest, but when he drinks coffee, a kind of relief arises. However, this feeling is illusory because the coffee plant is in the Gunas of passion and ignorance. When the plant is in passion, it activates the brain, but then fatigue sets in. There are plants that give strength to the brain. They increase tone, but fatigue does not occur later. For example: cinnamon, licorice, eleutherococcus, lemongrass. All these plants are in the Guna of goodness.”

Friends, what an irony, there are many healthy coffee substitutes. But, for some reason, a drink that is addictive and addictive and then slowly kills is popular among our people. Are you not surprised by the fact that in our country, poisonous and slowly killing products (coffee, vodka, tobacco, tea, sugar) are in first place in popularity?

Think about these facts for yourself. After all, if you take coffee and alcohol, then both drinks primarily negatively affect the ability to create healthy offspring.

Nowadays coffee made from Jerusalem artichoke is popular in America; in Germany, many families brew a drink from acorns in the old fashioned way. So let's cook in Russia too traditional drinks, which will contribute to the improvement of ourselves and the creation healthy offspring. And let's pass it on to our children healthy traditions our Ancestors.

Hercule Poirot's favorite drink

Barley decoction

barley drink brewed in a plunger

roasted and unroasted barley

The well-known detective Hercule Poirot is famous for his gray cells, which helped him brilliantly solve the most complicated crimes. Poirot treated his gray cells very carefully, constantly encouraging them with a nutritious decoction, which he drank with his usual accuracy strictly at certain hours. What kind of miracle drink is this?

This barley broth is very tasty and healthy drink. It is generally accepted that barley serves as a coffee substitute, but in fact It has nothing in common with coffee - neither in its properties nor in taste does barley infusion resemble coffee at all. Before coffee was expensive and was simply mixed with ground barley. In addition to saving, this also brought benefits, because... firstly, the coffee was not so strong, and the person received less caffeine, and secondly, barley brought its own beneficial features.

ground roasted barley

This is how ground roasted barley turns out

Of course, we don’t know exactly how barley broth was prepared for the famous Belgian detective, but we ourselves love this drink very much and prepare it all the time. First, dry the barley grains and fry them in a dry frying pan until they turn brownish - the grains swell and partially burst, cracking slightly. To avoid burning, you need to stir them constantly. We grind the roasted beans in a coffee grinder and brew them in a plunger, but you can, of course, just pour boiling water over them and cook for a few minutes. We drink barley with sugar or honey, sometimes with lemon - amazingly delicious!

More decoction is healthier from barley malt– sprouted, dried and ground barley grains. We think that Poirot drank malt broth. It is very nutritious and is used as a blood purifier for various metabolic disorders manifested in skin rashes. As a nutritional supplement, barley is very useful for young children, because... has anti-inflammatory, emollient and enveloping effects. That’s why barley porridges – pearl barley and barley – are so useful.

Recipes from the Encyclopedia of Medicinal Plants:

1. 20 g of grains per 1 glass cold water, leave for 5 hours, boil for 10 minutes.

2. 2 tbsp. malt flour per 1 liter of boiling water - leave for 4 hours. Drink half a glass 4 times a day, adding sugar or honey to taste.

Thanks a lot! I'll try it soon.
It’s not for nothing that coffee is so popular (why, I really don’t know?) - we haven’t drunk it for a long time, now we sometimes brew it, and sometimes we get tired of just tea and herbs. Now let’s try barley, even if it doesn’t taste like coffee, for some reason I have the feeling that it will be very tasty. And useful. Because with coffee of course big question.
Is a plunger the same as a Turk for coffee, or something else? :-)

A plunger is a glass made of heat-resistant glass in a cup holder with a piston that allows water to pass through and does not allow solid particles (grass, grains..) to pass through. A very convenient thing for brewing. This piston contributes to greater extraction of various substances, coffee and barley drink turn out as if they were brewed in a Turk :) We really like it, it is sometimes used for tea, but we prefer infundirka for tea, because... The tea cannot be over-steeped, otherwise you can remove the infusion from the teapot and that’s it. And you can drain the tea from the plunger :)

Wow, I didn’t even know about such a thing, but where are these sold?.. In ordinary dishware, or somewhere in special stores?..

We tried to germinate barley and rye, the description here is about malt:

We haven’t tried brewing it yet, we’ll try it one of these days, then I’ll write about it later. :-)

Today we drank a drink made from malt - sprouted grain, roasted in the oven until brown, ground, brewed - very tasty, aromatic, just as we wanted.

And we tried just grain, dry, roasted and brewed - I didn’t like it at all, there’s no such taste, so I won’t even do that anymore, I don’t really want to drink.

But with malt according to the first option - it’s just great!! I will do it all the time now.

I’m reading a book alone, and yesterday I accidentally came across this phrase:

“I gave him a recipe for a barley drink for insomnia.
- What if it doesn’t help?
“It will definitely help,” I smiled.”

Exactly, it’s true - we now drink every day, we noticed that everyone began to sleep better and much more soundly.
So, whoever suffers from insomnia, drink barley drink, it will definitely help! :-)))

What’s good is that you can give it to children too.

We tried just roasting barley, without soaking and sprouting, for a drink, the drink also turned out, but it was quite different from the one with sprouting. On barley malt- it turns out much tastier, it’s just that roasted barley is not the same at all. So for delicious drink- malt must be made!

When we were children, my mother cooked porridge, which we called chocolate :) From fried oatmeal: she fried the oatmeal in a dry frying pan, then added milk, and everything else :) Exact recipe Mom herself has already forgotten, but I’m describing from memory, because... I always watched the preparation of my favorite porridge :) And a drink made from roasted dry barley is very reminiscent of it in taste :) I want to try roasting and brewing ground barley. And malt was generally considered a delicacy no worse than sweets :) So just two different tastes:) You need to fry carefully and stir all the time, without stopping, because if it burns a little somewhere, it will be immediately noticeable and the taste will deteriorate :)
