Caffeine
Caffeine is found in coffee, tea, cola-based drinks and chocolate which we love most.
Caffeine is addictive and is one of the world's most widely used drugs and it can cause a number of health problems.
You would be surprised to know after listening number of benefits in the media about coffee and other products that
caffeine :
can prevent your body from absorbing vitamins and minerals.
can increase the excretion of vitamins and minerals from the body, so you maynot get the full benefits of healthy foods.
increases your heart rate and blood pressure.
has an impact on the body's energy levels: following the initial energy surge, your levels fall due to the lowering of blood sugar. It can cause headaches and insomnia.
So my advise to all of you trying for healthy eating option is that minimise your intake of caffeine and best if you can altogether eliminate it from your food intake.
