Caffeine - America's Natural High

Caffeine seems to be the number one natural high in America. It speeds you up when you need it and leaves you feeling energized for hours. The more you drink the more energy it seems to make you have. Espresso seems to be the cream of the crop. 2 shots of espresso will keep anyone going for hours. My favorite is Starbuck's Double Shot Espresso with cream. It is so yummy and it will certainly do the trick, whether you just need to stay awake or if you just need the energy in order to move about quicker. The espresso in a can seems to be a bit pricey but it is worth it on the days that you feel run down. You can also purchase espresso beans and espresso lattes. The raw bean is usually covered with some kind of chocolate. If you are drinking hot coffee then you could put a few of the raw chocolate beans in it for a superb taste. The shots are going to give you the quickest jolt but some folks don't want their coffee to be as strong as a shot of espresso due to uncontrollable shaking. So if this sound like you then you may be better off with the solid beans. If you are sensitive and experience shaking or have heart or nerve issues then espresso may not be for you. However, you can still have caffeine. You can drink regular coffee and just drink as much as you need until you feel as awake as you want. They now have energy gum. Does it work? Well of course it does, 5 pieces are equivalent to an 8oz. energy drink. Now, caffeine not only jolts your energy but it also makes you feel good. Whenever you drink higher amounts of caffeine such as espresso, you get a sudden sense of "feel good" which lasts a few hours. I typically don't get that "feel good" feeling unless it's espresso though. I just have to drink entirely too much regular coffee to get that affect and I don't really care for energy drinks because of the Taurin and other ingredients that make me feel a little uneasy about. So drink caffeine and say no to drugs and other energy drinks. I promise it will be a better option in the long run. Just don't overdo it, Too much of anything can be a bad thing.
