One of best reasons to stop consuming CAFFEINE is to protect your HEART. What makes us feel tired is when the chemical adenosine reaches adenosine receptors in the brain. Caffeine takes the place of adenosine & attaches itself to the adenosine receptors. The pituitary gland see's this, thinks it's an emergency, and tells the adrenal glands to produce adrenaline. Adrenaline is the fight or flight hormone that raises our heart rate. Artificial boosting adrenaline puts such stress on our heart and leads to heart disease, high blood pressure, heart attack, etc.
Caffeine also stresses the central nervous system & draws calcium out of our bones, which for women is problematic because women are more prone to osteoporosis.
Eliminate caffeine from your life! Get natural energy by: exercising daily, eating healthy & often (a SMALL meal every 3hrs), getting enough sleep nightly, and supplement daily with a multivitamin (especially B6 & B12) & Iron.
