How Caffeine Can Affect Your Health
In a regular cup of coffee there are about 170 mg of caffeine
and in decaffeinated coffee there are about 30/40 mg of caffeine.
On the stock market, Coffee is a 90 billion dollar industry but
what is significant is that just in North America 85%+ drink 3
to 5 cups of coffee per day. A huge number of people are at risk
for many of the issues surrounding coffee consumption.
Top Ten Reasons why you should consider switching to a
"Healthy Coffee"
Cardiovascular Problems
Caffeine increases your heart rate, elevates your blood
pressure, and can contribute to the development of heart
disease. Both decaf and regular coffee increase your cholesterol
and homocysteine, the biochemical that science has linked to
increased risk for heart attack. Caffeine is also linked to
coronary vasospasms, the cause for 20% of all fatal heart
attacks which kill otherwise perfectly healthy people.
Stress
Caffeine stimulates the excretion of stress hormones which can
produce increased levels of anxiety, irritability, muscular
tension and pain, indigestion, insomnia, and decreased immunity.
Increased levels of stress from caffeine can keep you from being
able to make healthy responses to the normal daily stress
everyone is subjected to in their lives.
Emotional Disturbances
Anxiety and irritability are hallmark mood disturbances
associated with caffeine consumption, but equally important is
depression and attention disorders. Depression may occur as part
of the let down after the stimulant effects of caffeine wears
off. It may also appear during the recovery period after
quitting caffeine while the brain's chemistry is readjusted.
Caffeine rather than increasing mental activity actually
decreases blood flow to the brain by as much as 30% and
negatively effects memory and mental performance.
Blood Sugar Swings
Diabetics and hypoglycemics should avoid caffeine because it
stimulates a temporary surge in blood sugar which is then
followed by an overproduction of insulin that causes a blood
sugar crash within hours. If you're trying to loose weight, this
rollercoaster will actually cause weight gain since insulin's
message to the body is to store excess sugar as fat.
Gastrointestinal Problems
Many people experience a burning sensation in their stomach
after drinking coffee because coffee increases the secretion of
hydrochloric acid leading to an increased risk for ulcers.
Coffee, including decaf, reduces the pressure on the valve
between the esophagus and the stomach so that the highly acidic
contents of the stomach pass up to the esophagus leading to
heartburn and gastro-esophageal reflux disease. With America 's
high consumption of coffee, its no wonder the best selling
over-the-counter drugs are the so-called antacids.
Nutritional Deficiencies
Caffeine inhibits the absorption of some nutrients and causes
the urinary excretion of calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and
trace minerals, all essential elements necessary for good health.
Male Health Problems
Male Health Issues: Coffee is an irritant to the urinary tract
and bladder. It is also a diuretic that aggravates conditions
associated with frequent urination. Eliminating coffee and
caffeine often relieves symptoms associated with frequent
urination due to enlarged prostate glands.
Dr. Milton Krisiloff, M.D. has found that in the majority of
cases, men can significantly reduce their risk for urinary and
prostate problems by making dietary changes which include
eliminating coffee and caffeine.
Female Health Problems
Fibrocystic breast disease, PMS, osteoporosis, infertility
problems, miscarriage, low birth weight infants, and menopausal
problems such as hot flashes are all exacerbated by caffeine
consumption. Women on birth control pills are particularly at
risk since they have a decreased ability to detoxify caffeine.
Adrenal
Exhaustion
Caffeine consumption leads to eventual adrenal exhaustion which
can leave you vulnerable to a variety of health disorders
related to inflammation, autoimmunity, and fatigue.
Aging
Many people find in their forties that they can no longer
tolerate the same level of caffeine consumption as they could in
their twenties and thirties. The production of DHEA, melatonin,
and other vital hormones start to decline and caffeine speeds up
that downhill drop. Caffeine dehydrates the body and contributes
to the aging of the skin and kidneys. It has been shown to
inhibit DNA repair and slow the ability of the liver to detoxify
foreign toxins.
Exhausted Adrenal Glands
Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant. It causes the
adrenal glands to secrete adrenaline, the hormone your body
depends on in emergencies to elevate your heart rate, increase
your respiration and blood pressure for a rapid flight-or-fight
response. When you overuse stimulants, the adrenals become
exhausted. If your caffeine sensitivity has diminished or you're
one of those who claims you can drink 3 shots of espresso and go
right to sleep, guess what? Your adrenals have given up
responding. This means you have less resistance to stress, which
leaves you vulnerable to health hazards such as environmental
pollutants and disease pathogens
Severe Blood Sugar Swings
Caffeine forces the liver to release glycogen into the blood
stream. The pancreas responds to the sudden rise in blood sugar
by releasing insulin, the hormone which causes excess
carbohydrates to be stored as fat. Within the span of an hour or
two, the result is a sharp blood sugar drop resulting in a state
of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). That's when you think it's
time for another cup of coffee and the whole cycle starts up
again.
Acid Imbalance
Over 208 acids in coffee can contribute to indigestion and a
wide variety of health problems resulting from over-acidity
associated with arthritic, rheumatic and skin irritations. Many
people experience a burning sensation in their stomach after
drinking coffee because coffee increases the secretion of acid
in the stomach. Optimal health calls for an alkaline pH balance
in the body.
Essential Mineral Depletion
Coffee inhibits the absorption of some nutrients and causes the
urinary excretion of calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and
trace minerals, all essential elements necessary for good
health. Women need to be concerned about osteoporosis as
menopause sets in. Studies show that women who drink coffee have
an increased incidence of osteoporosis compared to non-coffee
drinkers. Men are not immune to osteoporosis either.
These are a number of health conditions for which doctors advise
their patients to eliminate coffee and all caffeine from their
diet.
Acid indigestion Anxiety, irritability and nervousness Candida
or yeast problems Colitis, diverticulitis, diarrhea and other
irritable bowel symptoms Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and other
auto-immune disorders Diabetes or hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
Dizziness, Meniere's syndrome or tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
Gout (Elevated Uric Acid levels) Heart disease or heart
palpitations High blood pressure High cholesterol Insomnia and
interrupted or poor quality sleep Liver disease and gallbladder
problems such as gallstones Kidney or bladder problems including
kidney stones Migraines or other vascular headaches Osteoporosis
Skin irritations, rashes and dryness Ulcers, heartburn, and
stomach problems such as hiatal hernias Urinary tract irritation
