Yet maybe you have nagging feelings that your body doesn't quite metabolize coffee the way it did when you were younger. Or perhaps you've been to your health practitioner who has advised you to quit caffeine. It could be that your family members or co- workers have suggested that you seem to get too tense and irritable when you drink coffee. The reasons for giving up coffee are diverse but there is a common theme. Coffee, including *decaf* coffee, contains caffeine, a drug that produces a burst of 'biochemical' reactions that create stress in the body. The adrenal glands pump out a host of 'hormones' that elevate stress for up to 18 hours after consumption. The liver releases higher amounts of " sugar " and " fat " into the blood-stream. The pancreas produces insulin to remove the excess blood sugar and store it as fat that creates a blood sugar " rollercoaster " . Muscle tension is increased. The blood vessels constrict reducing the flow of oxygen to important areas like your brain (up to 30%) and your extremities. Digestion and the immune system are 'impaired' or 'suppressed'. The production of DHEA and other 'anti-aging' hormones is decreased. What are the results of increased stress from coffee consumption on a day in and day out basis? For a full comprehension of the problems caused by coffee drinking and caffeine consumption, we highly recommend the book Caffeine Blues by Stephen Cherniske (Warner Books, 1998) Well written and easy to read, Caffeine Blues will help you understand the health consequences of caffeine addiction.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Hi Wee, I love water and drink tons every day. I like that is refreshes like nothing else, has no harmful side effects, no calories and is what my body needs most to perform it's functions... Good choice in switching your caffeine drinks to juice and water. Don't forget to make some good fruit smoothies. too. Drink 8 glasses of water a day for the best of health and to flush our toxins from our system... Water is great stuff. : )) You're a cheerful soul. Thanks for being that way.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Missed the original post but all the replies got my attention :>) I'd like to remind everyone that chocolate that beloved confection also contains caffeine.<sigh> Diana I am grateful to you for sharing this one Strangely enough, I just started drinking coffee, but only at work Today I had 3 cups but tomorrow I will just have the one But even Tea has caffeine and that says something too. Hmmm...you got me thinking about substituting Tea and Coffee with fruit juice and water. This change is going to be so hard for me ha.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 I quit drinking coffee because the doctor told me to. He said if I didn't I would be dead in less then three years so I quit. - wwjd<jtwigg To: < > Tuesday, August 22, 2006 6:50 PM Re: Why People Quit Coffee 8-22-06 Thanks you so much.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Actually I would take this article with a grain of salt. It is being shared after all from a site that is selling a coffee replacement product, so they are hardly an unbiased source. But it was well-written. However, for every anti-coffee report there is another pro-coffee report that supports that there are some health benefits. So, with most natural foods, there are no good food/bad food cut and dry answers. Moderate coffee consumption is fine for most people. People with other health issues should ask their doctor if they are unsure. ~ PT ~ The greatest achievement of the human spirit is to live up to one's opportunities and to make the most of one's resources. ~ Vauvenargues ~~~*~~~*~~~> , " wwjd " <jtwigg wrote: > > Thanks PT.
