Is Coffee Good Or Bad For You?
If you ever conduct a survey on the topic: "What wakes you up in the morning? What boosts your energy level and makes you feel fresh and activated?" ...You will no doubt get this answer: Coffee or tea, both of which have a high level of caffeine, the coffee having a larger amount.
Caffeine is a drug which is extracted from coffee beans, kola nuts and tea leaves. It is used in medicines and even certain chocolates. Caffeine is very addictive meaning that a person's life starts depending on the caffeine.
People are blind to the fact that caffeine can cause dependence and this remains one of the greatest predicaments of today's era. Caffeine has gained recognition worldwide due to its property of boosting energy levels, increasing heart rate and elevating the blood's sugar level.
But caffeine's negative symptoms are manifold. Regular use of caffeine causes the water level of the body to drop as caffeine is a diuretic causing frequent urination. It also reduces the span of deep sleep and the person becomes so addicted to caffeine that if its level per day is reduced the person will show negative behavior. Frustration, nausea, migraines, fatigue, lack of concentration and muscle pain are some of the symptoms of withdrawing from caffeine.
Pregnant women should keep away from caffeine as it can have a negative impact on the fetus. The unhealthy reaction to the caffeine can cause miscarriage by disrupting the placenta and eventually the fetus, although this is extremely rare. If taken during pregnancy, it increases the risk of low birth weight and severe labor pain.
Three to four cups of coffee daily increases the level of anxiety in a person and makes him more prone to panic disorders. Many people also experience insomnia due to over stimulation of the body because of caffeine. People working the night shift suffer from insomnia as they are unable to sleep in the day. Lack of sleep will cause dark circles in the eyes, nervousness and jittering.
People also acquire cardiac problems and diabetes because of the rise in the heart rate, blood pressure and blood sugar level. Moreover those suffering from gastric problems and stomach acidity should guard themselves and take caution with caffeine as it also causes stomach aches and increases the bowel movements. Bowel disorders are a very common side effect of caffeine.
Caffeine can trigger yearnings for food and thus result in obesity and weight gain. The disadvantages of caffeine seem limitless standing opposite to its advantages. Though coffee can revitalize the body, its effect remains only for four to six hours. Later the body hungers for the instantaneous power. This can induce dependence of caffeine. A healthy life can only be achieved if a person discontinues relying on caffeine for instant vivacity. Reducing caffeine from the daily diet should be accepted as a challenge. - 17269
