Tip
When one claims they are cutting out caffeine...
They usually think of coffee and teas..iced and hot...
But..please remember, that caffeine is also in many sodas and chocolate...
it is even found in medicines...
I think they should add caffeine amounts on Nutritional Labels....
How about you?
Write the FDA in Support of Caffeine Labeling

Caffeine....
Do you need it?
Do you think you can give it up easily?
Do you think you can give it up easily?
Did you know that Caffeine is addictive?
Are you one of more than half of all Americans that consume (in one form or another), more than 300 milligrams (mg) of caffeine each and every day?
If you ever felt that you can not begin to function without your morning cup of coffee, then you may be addicted to the caffeine that the coffee is supplying.
Just because caffeine naturally comes from plants...does not make it healthy!
Oh! that precious coffee!!
Let us view some facts about the coffee we drink..
Coffee has absolutely NO nutritional values!
Have you noticed your coffee cups turning brown inside?
That is a substance called Tannin....
Tannin is used for tanning leather...
Now over time...how does that effect your stomach?
You can see what it does to your coffee cups and teeth!!!
For those of you who are breast feeding your baby...and drinking regular coffee and other caffeine drinks...
Your baby has a head start on his caffeine addiction.
The caffeine is passed through the breast milk to the baby.
Coffee has an acidic nature that can cause you to form stomach ulcers in time.
What else does caffeine do for you....
Caffeine causes calcium loss through your urine...
We all need calcium...especially growing children and women!!
Some evidence is claiming that people who drink 4 or more cups of coffee a day, can have an increased risk of bone fractures...
There has been an association of decreases in bone density at the hip and spine.
Try drinking a glass of milk per day, to help prevent the calcium loss!!
When you are sick with a nasty cold that you are trying to fight off...
Caffeine actually slows down the elimination of that nasty mucus you so much want to eliminate...
Caffeine destroys Vitamin C!!
Since caffeine is a stimulant, it can make your heart beat faster.
Can raise your blood pressure!
Give you a restless and interrupted sleep!
Caffeine can cause nervousness, irritability and make you cranky and short tempered. Do you know anyone that may act like this from too much caffeine consumption?
In very extreme cases of too much caffeine in one's system,
vomiting and nausea has been reported.
Drinking other caffeine products, other than coffee, can lead to the same problems!!!
Caffeine's effects can start 15 minutes after it has been consumed by one form or another...
But Caffeine Helps me with my Weight Loss Effects!!! ???
For some people, caffeine can suppress appetite....BUT...
the appetite suppressant effect will not last long enough for you to lose weight!
The idea of you eating less calories because of caffeine intake, is not worth it.
It is highly doubtful that it will actually help you control your calorie intake.
Caffeine is a diuretic...
It helps your body release water through increased urination.
The weight loss is NOT body fat!
This also dehydrates you!
As you have seen in this past issue from Diet-Depot...
Water is very important!!
So remember to drink even more water than the recommended amount, if you take in caffeine!
So remember to drink even more water than the recommended amount, if you take in caffeine!
Please remember that many caffeinated beverages, such as Iced Tea, Sodas, Flavored Coffees, etc, contain sugar.
The sugars in these products adds calories....and weight gain...
Hints to Help you Quit Caffeine!!!
Even though caffeine gives you a short temporary surge of energy....
By the way....here is how...in one simple sentence...
The liver releases sugar into the bloodstream for extra energy.
But once the caffeine wears off...many grow tired and even have a depressed feeling within...
Cure....take in more caffeine for another surge!!
The same happens when you try to stop your caffeine intake...
Many people get a terrible headache...caused by blood vessels in the brain dilating!
Some people even feel some muscle pain...
These symptoms can occur any time within 24 hours after your last dose of caffeine..
Take the test..
Take away the daily coffee, teas and/or bottle of Coke...
If you get any of these withdrawal symptoms...your body is addicted to caffeine.
You don't have to go cold turkey!!!
Try doing it gradually!!
Try...
Eliminating one cup/glass a day...
Or start to mix some decaf into your regular soda or coffee...
Increase the decaf in time..while eliminating the caffeine product!
Do this until it is all decaffeinated!!
Drink even more water to help rehydrate yourself...and to help with the headaches!!
The headaches can last for several days...Then they will disappear..
Meanwhile take some pain killers for the headaches...
Avoiding the pain killers with caffeine in them...
When purchasing medications..
look for medications that do not contain caffeine...
Stay active and keep busy!!
Ask other members in your home to stop the caffeine intake with you...
Do this... and see how much better you feel in several days...
