Is Coffee ruining your Health

Your morning coffee may be placing you into a series of highs and lows. This roller coaster ride may be leaving you feeling tired and fatigued.

 
This can lead to daily fluctuations in energy and alertness and to chronic adrenal exhaustion.

 Chronic Adrenal Exhaustion

 When you consume caffeine neurons fire off in your brain. Excess neuron activity is thought to trigger your pituitary gland to secrete a hormone that tells your adrenal glands to produce adrenalin. This puts you into 'fight-or-flight' state. When this adrenal high wears off later you feel a lag - fatigue, irritability, headache or confusion.

After prolonged use of caffeine you body can enter a state of adrenal exhaustion - where your caffeine consumption has simply pushed your adrenal glands so much they've fatigued.

Different people will have different reactions to caffeine, however caffeine can lead to dependence.
