Healthy: Limiting Caffeine

Healthy: Limit that caffeine

Today, we would like to explore caffeine, and some of the effects by having to much of the brown stuff.

Caffeine can have many impacts on your body: trouble sleeping, nervousness, irritability, agitation, moody, depression and an increase in heart rate and blood pressure. If you have any of these systems you might be a caffeine addict.

Drinking coffee starts innocently enough. You have it with friends, you then start having it during the day, and before you know it you have built up to eight cups of coffee a day.

Caffeine is one of the most addictive drugs out there, the reason been is that we easily build up a tolerance to it. You may only need one cup of coffee in the morning for the first month, after that you will need two to get the same hit. If you don’t get it you will be lacking in concentration, and feel both mentally and physically tired.

Another problem with caffeine is that its in a highly adulterated state. These day’s caffeine contains additional chemicals that are residues from the production process.

To benefit your health you will need to do two things. First cut back on coffee (start by reducing a cup a day for a week, and then reduce another cup a day the next week (note: you will feel withdrawal systems such as moodiness, sore muscles and flu like symptoms). Secondly, only have organic and pure coffee (in moderate doses this does have some benefits for you. In addition, you can try and transfer to herbal teas and the like.
