How can Caffeine Addiction cause an energy rise in your body.

Caffeine is currently of the most consumed substances in the world nowadays, but many people ignore caffeine effects in the body, especially when a person suffers caffeine addiction or abuses of it somehow.

In this article I would like to point out the most negative caffeine effects on your body and what caffeine energy produces on your body, as well as mentioning some special facts about caffeine addiction.

Drinking various cups of coffees in a day is not good at all, especially if we drink it in the late afternoon or night, because the caffeine will stay in our bodies for up to eight hours, which affects our sleep.

Caffeine also affects the levels of cortisol in the body, leading to more cravings for carbohydrates and fats and mass weight onto our stomachs; abdominal fat causes bigger health risks than other kinds of fat. However, if you drink coffee in the morning and exercise straight afterwards, it can help you to burn fat 30 percent more efficiently than without taking it, because it helps to keep blood sugar levels up, making us less hungry.

Caffeine energy is understood as the energy that people usually experience when they consume caffeine. Caffeine energy usually gives our energy levels a temporary increase, but after it disappears we may suffer mild depression and start feeling lethargy, making it harder to exercise. So in other words, caffeine energy causes a quick improvement in our energy levels but it is just temporary and will cause an energy decrease afterwards making it hard for us to exercise.

A sub-step in the escalation phase is to remove all additional whiteners, Brighteners and sweeteners, until you can suck it directly from the espresso nozzle (Take care not to burn lips although with practice heat tolerance can be built up.)

Oh my gosh... I was hoping maybe Google had a serious article on whether exercise would help get rid of the coffee crankies. (Yeah, Mr. Moody otherwise known as me had way too much coffee today!) Eh, I'll just post this and go hop on my bike. I hear coffee helps you exercise with less whining. ;)

thats some strange coffee LOVE. well, my opinion is addiction/excess of any thing is harmful to body. i have been working for arehab, and trust me the cases of strange addictions come to me (other than alcohol & drug), for eg, wiki addiction, suntan addiction etc..

OMG! I was laughing so hard when I read this! I spilt my latte all over the counter. I agree those damn happy people that are running around like exercise is the time of there life need to get a slap on the face! The only way I am doing that is by massive amounts of caffine in my veins!

2007-10-18T01:28:00.000-04:00

Oh heck, I gotcha ALL beat! :D I roast my own green beans (from City + to Vienna roast (12 new pounds just arrived today, A Nicaraguan "Cup Of Excellence" awarded varietal and an Australian high altitude coffee along with the Sulawesi and the Indian Estate DP), I have a cupboard full of brewers from a Turkish Ibrik to Yama vac pot a French Press to a Technivorm MoccaMaster drip brewer (hand made in the Netherlands, it's my daily driver), AND an Italian espresso machine! I also know how to use them, and I can make a cappa with foam up to there for about 75 cents in the time it takes to walk across the street to a *$, wait in line, get the stuff and come back. Decaf, no problem when it's not Swiss Water Process, or Folger's in a can, you couldn't tell the difference with the new non chemical no contact water process. (But as an aside on the non alcoholic beer thing, a Sharps outdoes a Coors any day of the week for pure clean flavor. Alcohol just adds SOUR to the palate, plus a nice soft buzz, and I used to swear by Coors). Caffeine withdrawal? If I go camping, my half caf goes with me preground along with a euro drip plastic cone holder and a SwissGold filter. Heck yeah, use the Pocket Rocket ultra light campstove, plop the coffee pot on top, light her up and hot fresh coffee in 6 minutes!

Ooooh, don't get me started! I'm right behind Holly with the photo of the beans, I can almost smell 'em, LOL! The only thing worse than a coffee geek with a high end espresso machine for boring is a coffe geek who also homeroasts their own espresso and then drinks the stuff... ;)

I already feel guilty about the fact that I want to lose weight but I keep drinking these cans of sugar. Now I have the knowledge of how many cans of Rockstar: Juiced will kill me. *sigh*

2007-09-20T07:05:00.000-04:00

Hilary, it's never a grind checking comments especially when you show up with your puns!

Melissa--Mmm, Indian food and beer, great combo!

Hi Annie--and I need to learn to shut about smoking more, given my caffeine addiction!

And yes, I must end every sentence with an exclamation point!

Goinggone,
I have to confess that after grinding my coffee at home for years, I discovered I couldn't taste the difference when I started having the folks at the local Fancy Coffee place (not 'bucks) do it for me. Perhaps because I go through it so fast it stays pretty fresh? Or more likely 'cause I'm just not all that sophisticated. Good for you that you can tell.

Jennifer--thanks for stopping by! Sorry I have nothing too witty to add, I'm still working on my morning cup and am not quite functional yet.

Wow, BagLady--a twelve cup habit is indeed a robust COFAD!

Aaron/Katieo,
I thought that was you! And I love the profile pic--you guys are too darn cute.

Thomma Lyn,
Well, if you're nowhere near your 88 cups, I think you're good! I'm the sole coffee drinker in the Crab and Lobster household. I suspect my COFAD would be way worse (or better, I guess) if I had an accomplice like you do!

Decaf Please,
It's very cool that someone with your user name would venture to comment on this post! Thanks!

2007-09-19T21:19:00.000-04:00

Yup, I have a serious COFAD and my hubby an even more serious one. According to your last link, it would take 88 cups of coffee to make me croak -- guess I don't have to worry, since I don't drink nearly that much a day, LOL!

Crabby - since I had to go to town today, and since my step-daughter just started working at Starbucks, I finally had my first cup of Starbucks coffee today. I have to admit, it was tasty. It was some kind of latte thing with whipped cream and caramel drizzle...don't ask me what it was called. I won't be running to town everyday for it, but as a treat, it was a good one. Of course, on top of the 12 cups I had already had this morning, I was pretty much tanked up on coffee today. Sure whipped through my errands.

2007-09-19T18:09:00.000-04:00

Coffee!!!! Oh yeah! I'm up before the sun rises most morning slamming the stuff back. I got all sorts of excited when I bought a new bean grinder just last week! The grinder is sooooooo important!!!!!!!!!

My husband and I are total coffee snobs. If I bring home a bag of Folgers pre-ground beans I know he will have me committed! And Starcrap can kiss it. At least they will cease using hormone-laden milk in their drinks. Still, I rather not pay $4 for coffee.

2007-09-19T17:34:00.000-04:00

I can never understand how people can be addicted to coffee. It tastes so disgusting and has no positive side effects.

Then I remember that I'm addicted to smoking and I shut up.
