In this episode, Kenneth sits down with Katie to talk about why everyone should give drinking decaffeinated coffee a go. He explains how to choose a good quality decaf and use it to make a tasty drink that is also good for your health. 
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS 

Decent quality decaf tastes as good as regular coffee.
Decaf does not extract as much, so you need to use a bit more coffee to make a good quality cup.
Decaffeinated coffee is good for you. Kenneth explains, in detail, why that is.
Drinking the decaf coffee that has been produced without the use of chemicals is probably best.
People who find that regular coffee makes them restless or find it hard to sleep can still enjoy the decaf version.
Decaf coffees tend not to affect your stomach or bowels as much.
Decaffeinated coffee is not a diuretic like regular coffee is.

 
BEST MOMENTS
‘You can drink decaf coffee to hydrate yourself and that will jack up the antioxidants and anti-inflammatories.´
‘Regular coffee can be a bit more acidic than decaf, which can affect your gut.’
‘Coffee or caffeine does not cause anxiety, but it can exacerbate it.’
