When the body learns to depend too heavily on outside materials such as caffeine to control serotonin production and energy,\u00a0it <b>decreases\u00a0the body\u2019s\u00a0natural ability to regulate healthy serotonin production<\/b>. \u00a0This is the reason for the highs and lows you may experience after ingesting caffeine. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">Many of my patients tell me that they skip breakfast \u2013 arguably the most important meal of the day. \u00a0They tell me they just drink their coffee and they are not hungry. \u00a0Caffeine tricks the body into suppressing the feeling of hunger.\u00a0 But hunger is our body\u2019s way of telling us that we need nutrients. \u00a0So if you think you\u2019re not a breakfast person, and you survive on coffee each and every morning instead, try cutting out coffee for even a short period of time (say 1 week) and see if you notice any positive changes.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><br \/>\nIn addition to all the effects listed above, caffeine is also an incredibly potent diuretic, and <b>often can lead to dehydration<\/b>. \u00a0One coffee or tea and you\u2019ve lost at least another glass of hydrating water.\u00a0 Over the course of the day, this fluid loss is quite substantial. \u00a0Never<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"> underestimate the power of dehydration, which causes many unpleasant consequences such as headaches, fatigue, and even allergies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">If you regularly suffer with <b>acid reflux or heartburn<\/b>, try giving up coffee and see if your symptoms do not improve. \u00a0Many people experience a burning sensation in their stomach after drinking coffee because coffee increases the secretion of hydrochloric acid. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">Caffeine also contributes to both <b>male and female health problems<\/b>.\u00a0 Fibrocystic breast disease, PMS, osteoporosis, infertility problems, miscarriage, low birth weight, and menopausal problems such as hot flashes are all aggravated by caffeine consumption. \u00a0In men, caffeine increases the risk for <b>urinary and prostate problems<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">Caffeine also <b>impairs calcium absorption<\/b>. \u00a0This is a major concern for children who consume a lot of soft drinks while their bones are still developing. \u00a0It is also a major concern for anyone concerned with protecting themselves from osteopenia or osteoporosis. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><b>If you have a caffeine habit, there is no better time to kick it than now!<\/b> \u00a0If you&#8217;re seriously addicted, you may need to wean off of it. \u00a0Just start by either cutting your consumption in half or switching to half caf\/half decaf. \u00a0Do this for one week, and then cut it in half again. \u00a0Continue this until you no longer need caffeine. \u00a0Just make sure that you are drinking organic coffee and that your decaf is naturally decaffeinated or water decaffeinated. \u00a0A single cup of non-organic coffee may contain over 1000 different chemicals! \u00a0If you just crave the comfort of something warm to drink, try herbal teas. \u00a0There are many wonderful flavors to choose from.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">If you find you are unable to kick the habit because you are chronically tired and caffeine is your crutch, I urge you to make an appointment for us to get down to the root cause of your fatigue. \u00a0Profound fatigue and reliance on stimulants can be a warning sign of some more serious health problems like blood sugar issues, thyroid, adrenal or other hormone imbalances.\u00a0 Let\u2019s talk!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;
