I’m currently reading a book called Caffeine Blues and it talks about how caffeine is actually a drug (I think we all know this) and how it has a ton of negative side effects including anxiety and poor mental performance. The worst part though is how it can get you quickly addicted to the energy / “alertness” high but that it’s actually robbing you because it’s putting your body under stress.
Has anyone ever traded with / without coffee and have you noticed any difference?
I haven’t traded with coffee. Sorry. However, I think most things can be taken in moderation, and coffee is one of them. Each person has their own tolerance level.
But a cup two or three times a week is no big deal, in my opinion.
How much coffee are we talking about here?
Do you mean people who feel like they can’t wake up unless they have two or three cups every morning?
Well, caffeine is a stimulant, right? And giving your body a stimulant like that every day, can’t be good. Could it?
You don’t typically drink coffee?
Anything more than 100mg but worse if you’re consuming 300mg of coffee per day which is about 3-4 cups.
People who get headaches when they don’t have caffeine, who have sleep problems, maybe nervousness or just feel constantly “wired.” I’ve been having sleep problems which is why I’m trying to get off of it lol.
Agreed, this is probably the way to go.
I can understand. A few years ago I was working at a place that had free coffee/soda for staff. Man, I was drinking that stuff all day.
Then my eyes got red. I went to the eye doctor and she said it was from caffeine. I stopped. It was an adjustment drinking flavorless water with my meals, but I got used to it.
I think you’ll have an adjustment period as well. But, it’s a healthier choice, and it’s worth it.
Nope. I like it, but I just don’t drink it these days. I like beer, tea, and soda. But when I’m in the mood. Soda, I’ll have it maybe once a month. Beer, I haven’t had in years, but I have enjoyed it.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with coffee or tea. It’s possible to have too much of anything!
One of my friend, he will be headache if he doesn’t drink a cup of coffee before 10am. I am allergic to caffein so I don’t dink tea or coffee (that has caffein).
