The Final Word On Coffee and Caffeine
If you make a study on the topic as to what awakens and arouses people in the morning…you will no doubt get high votes for coffee and tea, which are both caffeinated drinks.
Caffeine is a drug which is extracted from coffee beans, kola nuts and tea leaves. It is used in medicines and even certain chocolates. Caffeine is very addictive meaning that a person’s life starts depending on the caffeine.
Today, the world is facing caffeine addiction to a staggering percentage. Though if questioned and probed people will never admit their reliance on caffeine. Caffeine’s prevalence is common as it speeds up the heart rate of the body, increases the vigilance and also raises the blood sugar level.
Caffeine has multiple negative health effects. It is a diuretic which means that the body needs to urinate more frequently which ultimately reduces the water level of the body. Moreover, a person’s deep sleep is also reduced with caffeine intake. It creates a high level of dependence which means that without caffeine a person will show symptoms such as irritability, headache, exhaustion, low level of concentration and joint pain.
Caffeine should be avoided by pregnant women as it is known to have negative effects on the unborn child. Caffeine can enter the placenta and the fetus can be negatively affected by its strong effect and it can increase the risk of miscarriage. Caffeine is associated with lower birth weight of the infant and increased pain during labor. Pregnant women should cut out caffeine in their diet totally or confer with their doctor for more consultation.
Three to four cups of coffee daily increases the level of anxiety in a person and makes him more prone to panic disorders. Many people also experience insomnia due to over stimulation of the body because of caffeine. People working the night shift suffer from insomnia as they are unable to sleep in the day. Lack of sleep will cause dark circles in the eyes, nervousness and jittering.
The escalation of heart beat, blood pressure and glucose levels can be the onset of heart disease and diabetes. Those who have a weak bowel should avoid caffeine as this can augment the movements of the bowel precariously and result in stomach ache, bowel disorders and ulcers.
Caffeine can trigger yearnings for food and thus result in obesity and weight gain. The disadvantages of caffeine seem limitless standing opposite to its advantages. Though coffee can revitalize the body, its effect remains only for four to six hours. Later the body hungers for the instantaneous power. This can induce dependence of caffeine. A healthy life can only be achieved if a person discontinues relying on caffeine for instant vivacity. Reducing caffeine from the daily diet should be accepted as a challenge.
