RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Your daily caffeine fix can have serious side effects (stress on your heart/liver/kidneys/central nervous system, it's addicting & draws calcium out of your bones). That's dangerous for women, because women are at a higher risk for osteoporosis (weakening of bones) than men. Get 1,000mg/day of calcium from foods (low-cal cheese/yogurt, skim milk, collard greens, spinach) to counteract the caffeine.
