The Benefits of Cutting Out Caffeine (Part VI)

Saturday, June 12, 2010 by Jennifer C
Who would have thought that this series could have lasted to a "Part VI"??  It's true! The more research I've been able to do into caffeine and its negative affect on the body, the more I'm realize how unhealthy it can be.

Today's research lead me to finding a list of hormones affected by a diet high in caffeine.  I was shocked to see just how much caffeine alters the chemical makeup of our bodies.  Below I've listed some of the hormones affected:




  • Adenosine- Can inhibit absorption of adenosine, which calms the body, which can make you feel alert in the short run, but can cause sleep problems later
  • Adrenaline- Caffeine injects adrenaline into your system, giving you a temporary boost, but possibly making you fatigued and depressed later. If you take more caffeine to counteract these effects, you end up spending the day in an agitated state, and might find yourself jumpy and edgy by night.
  • Cortisol- Can increase the body’s levels of cortisol, the “stress hormone”, which can lead to other health consequences ranging from weight gain and moodiness to heart disease and diabetes.
  • Dopamine- Caffeine increases dopamine levels in your system, acting in a way similar to amphetamines, which can make you feel good after taking it, but after it wears off you can feel ‘low’. It can also lead to a physical dependence because of dopamine manipulation.
With enough things these days causing stress and health issues, cutting out caffeine seems like the perfect way to start a change toward better health.  This is exactly why Biotta Juices includes no added caffeine.  We are dedicated toward promoting a healthy lifestyle in all areas of your life and cutting or limiting caffeine is the perfect place to start.
