How Caffeine is Harmful

People are so busy throughout the week due to work and other activities. We often don't think much of picking up a few cups of coffee or other beverages just to help us get through the busy day. Caffeine is a drug that we find in tea and soda drinks along
 with other beverages that people drink day to day. Coffee contains a large amount of caffeine. Caffeine is also found in chocolate that almost everyone loves. There is also caffeine in some medications.. Make sure to be careful when taking any caffeine pills. Make sure to ask your doctor about caffeine if you are taking any type of medicine since caffeine can cause problems when taking certain types of medication. 


What exactly does caffeine do?


Caffeine enables us to be more energized. Caffeine only helps us have energy for a short amount of time. The main important thing that caffeine does is to help speed up our heart rate. Caffeine can only help us for a short term. When we keep drinking caffeine during the week the less it does helps us in long term use.


Why is caffeine so bad for us?


Caffeine causes us to feel energized, but eventually it causes the body to have problems. Caffeine does make us feel even more worse than if we never drank caffeine. Caffeine makes us feel somewhat depressed and cause us to have headaches. Caffeine sometimes does make it so that we have difficult time falling asleep at night time.

Caffeine also causes us to be jittery. It can also cause anxiety issues. People who drink too much caffeine often feel extremely tired when the caffeine wears off and doesn't work as much anymore. Caffeine also causes urination problems. It can also cause vomiting along with other problems. Caffeine does make us feel even more dehydrated so that is why we should just drink regular water instead.


What happens when we stop drinking caffeine?

When we stop drinking caffeine it causes us to have major headaches. We often feel extremely tired for the first few days after we stop drinking caffeine. The most difficult time is the first few days when you stop drinking caffeine. People begin to feel better after a few days and don't have major headaches.

I'm going through the removal of caffeine right now. Day 2, and I take a ibuprofen every morning. The headaches are extreme. The drowsiness is awful.

It's like a grade school report. A lot of claims but no backing.

I felt too many blanket statements were made in this article and not enough documentation was given for the claims made.
