Most people kick-start their day with a cup of coffee in morning.
Coffee is known to contain some antioxidants and increase the metabolic rate (your ability to break down food). But what about the bad sides? They are quite severe in fact!
When drinking anything containing caffeine (coffee, tea, energy drinks or certain foods) the level of the stress hormone cortisol increases dramatically. This can lead to anger, frustration, mood swings, sleep disturbance, anxiety and depression. After a long term overuse of caffeine your body enters a state of adrenal exhaustion. Your caffeine consumption has simply pushed your adrenal glands so much that they've burned out.
Caffeine can stay in your body for up to 18 hours but only gives you a short artificial high. Once this boost dies down, many people may reach for more coffee or something sugary to get another lift.
Read more about the effects of caffeine on your stress levels and your mojo and how to kick the caffeine habit in the article "The Hidden Link Between Stress, Aging and Caffeine" by Caroline MacDougall
My Tip: Go easy on the coffee. Have some blue berries instead (for the antioxidants)!
