I have tried Teecino. You can order a sampler pack on their website and it has all 12 flavors. My husband loves coffee, and he really enjoyed Teecino. Which reminds me that he requested that I order more. I think you can tell the difference between that and coffee, but it is a good alternative. Hope this rambling helps someone lol This is a good post. I have tried Teecino. You can order a sampler pack on their website and it has all 12 flavors.

But after reading that acidic food can release toxins in plastic that will leach into food, I am concerned. I have been asking this question on many forums, but so far no one has given me a definitive answer, so I'm hoping you can. I do know that although lemon contains citric acid, it somehow alkaline-izes the body when introduced to water...so I'm not sure if that means my practice is safe. PLEASE advise. Thanks in advance!

I used to suffer from horrible migraine headaches before I realized that they were being triggered by dehydration. I bought a stainless steel water bottle and started taking it with me everywhere, forcing myself to drink more water (I generally don't feel thirsty until it is too late). The only time I get a headache now is if I get really busy and neglect my hydration routine. Unfortunately, once I have a migraine it sticks around for about 48 hours regardless of how much I drink=( It is so important to get enough water! Thanks for the tips!

I considered adding info on apple cider vinegar to the post, but it was already so long. Apple cider vinegar, provided that it is unpasteurized, is highly alkalizing and even gives you a dose of probiotics. I would just be careful not to get the water too hot or it would kill all of those good bugs. :-) I've tried mixing raw ACV in warm water with a little stevia to make it more palatable, and I've read of others using honey. I must admit that the taste doesn't thrill me the same way lemon does, but it's a wonderfully healthy choice and one that I should make more often! Karen,
