Hey guys, been doing some research, heres another article about Caffeine - and its effects on the nervous system.
Caffeine : The Silent Killer of Success

Some main things I would like to point out:

...when Caffeine puts your brain and body into this hyper-aroused state, your emotions overrun your behavior..

...Irritability and anxiety are the most commonly seen emotional effects of caffeine, but caffeine enables all of your emotions to take charge...

That being said, it is a foremost priority for those who are serious about NoFap to cut, or limit Caffeine consumption. I know a lot of us, growing up using porn, and also masturbating started out in a very hard life. Our situations weren't ideal, and we also were not guided right. We had a lot to fight for, in order to even be who we are today. We have some pain in our hearts, and minds, these pains are given power when we intoxicate ourselves with Caffeine, and other substances such as Alcohol, Sugar, and generally spicey foods.
From my personal experience, I used to get Starbucks, Hot chips, Fries with extra-hot sauce, Alcohol beverages. Basically anything spicy, filled with garlic or onions, Caffeine, or Alcohol. I know for a fact, these make me a lot more irritable. If you abstain even from these things(definitely not a complete list), then you will feel better in general. If you feel better, Fapping is not as likely. Your emotions won't weigh as heavy on you. You will feel a bit happier generally. I have not done drugs, so I have no opinion on that lol.


Heres an experiment you can try if this does not click with you. Go and cut out any of these things from your daily lives, say for two weeks. Keep a diary of how you feel. Now after the two weeks, go out and get back on any of these substances, and notice the difference.

Im surprised spicy food is listed with alcohol. You send me a article if you can where you got this information that spicy food is bad for health?

I've been drinking coffee since I was 8 years old. I don't know where you got your info from.

It's more on the lines of personal experience. Also backed with knowledge from the Yogic scriptures. Rajasi foods aggravate the mind, and the senses. In my personal experience the emotions within your psyche get activated as well.

I drink green tea without sugar. Even though it contains caffeine , it helps me focus better, helps in rewiring my brain and curbs my urge to some extent. So does drinking green tea 2-3 cups a day is better than avoiding coffee ?
