Over the past few posts, I have focused on everything from caffeine and its effect on your heart health and skin health. The more research I do into caffeine, the more I see how much your body can benefit from eliminating it from your diet, or at least reducing intake.
Today's focus is something that occasionally gets overlooked- Caffeine Addiction.
Many times you'll hear people claim that they "Can't function until I've had my coffee!" This usually comes off jokingly, but the health implications are not a joke. Not only are people causing damage to the body through the caffeine, but the withdraw can also take a major toll on the body when caffeine is not ingested.
According to MedicineNet.com, "A review and analysis of the effects of caffeine abstinence in humans claims that the withdrawal symptoms experienced are proof of physical dependence. These symptoms include headache, tiredness/fatigue, decreased energy/activeness, decreased alertness/attentiveness, drowsiness/sleepiness, decreased contentedness/well-being, depressed mood, difficulty concentrating, irritability, and felling muzzy/foggy/not clearheaded."
The article also claims that these effects start about 12 hours after your last
caffeinated drink and can last up to 50 hours!
It's safe to say that anything that causes that much dependence on the body is not good for it. This is exactly why Biotta has always been dedicated to providing caffeine-free, organic vegetable juices and fruit juices.
If you're looking for fresh juices to replace your morning cup of coffee, why not try our Vegetable Juice Cocktail or our Breakfast Blend!
