It can also cause you to have problems sleeping.
This
can be a very big problem.
You may not think of it as a problem, but it is. Caffeine is
addictive. Yes, you can get hooked to it. I'm not saying that you will
be like a crack head if you don't get a cup of coffee. But anyone who
is addicted to caffeine knows how it feels to get the shakes when you
don't have any in your system. This is the addictive qualities of it.
You are shaking because you are going through withdraw. Your body is
craving it and letting you know.
Caffeine is a great pick me up. From that morning cup of Joe to
the extra pep it gives you in your energy drink, it can be very
helpful. The key thing is, you must use it right. You can't over due
it.
Caffeine can have very bad side effects if not used properly.
Studies show that drivers who think they can substitute caffeine for
sleep are a risk to everyone on the road. Your reaction times are
slower and that may cause you to have an accident.
The key thing is to understand the use of caffeine and how to use
it right. If you are a bit tired in the evening, a cup of coffee is a
great way to give you a little pep. If you are going to be using
something dangerous like a chain saw, you should wait until you are
fully alert to operate it. Don't think coffee will make you alert
enough to be able to run it safely.
So, you are tired at work.
You need a little pick me up, but don't
want to use caffeine. Well, there are some things that you can do to
help you out.
Avoid foods high in sugar.
Don't run for a candy bar when you are
feeling sluggish. Don't drink sodas with your lunch. This will give
you a burst of energy, but it will make you tired when the energy is
gone. I would suggest to you that you keep some fruit on hand for when
you are feeling sluggish. Keep an apple in your desk or some other
fruit that you can easily eat and not have to prepare. You can also
try pears, peaches, or oranges. You do have to peel an orange, so that
might not be the best solution for you if you need a pick me up right
away.
Drinking juice is another great way to get that pep you are
looking for. You should consider buying a juicer. They aren't too
expensive and the benefits of fresh juice are well worth the money.
Also, you can make different kinds of juices. You can make an apple
and pear drink. There is no end to the kind of drinks you can make.
Also, you don't have to worry about what is in them. You make it, you
know it is 100% juice.
A serving of juice will help you regain your strength. It will
give you the energy you need to get through the day. You might also
want to drink juice with your lunch. If you do this instead of
drinking sodas, you won't get burnt out as fast. Energy bars are a
great thing if you have them on hand. Don't get ones that are full of
sugar or honey. That will give you a burnt out feeling. Instead, go
with something that is good for you. I have seen some chocolate
covered energy bars, don't get this. Run like hell from these bars. It
is a expensive candy bar.
Of course, you can always take a nap. This is a great way of
increasing your energy. Though, it is not always possible to do. You
also should avoid a high fat diet. If you eat too much fat, it will
drain you. It will also make you depressed. When you are depressed,
you won't have the energy that you should have.
The important thing is this in regards
to caffeine.
Have a cup of coffee from time to time if you are feeling a
little tired. Don't let it replace sleep. Don't think that you can
function the same on caffeine as you can fully rested. Don't think
that because you had two cups of coffee that it is safe to drive your
car even if you are drop dead tired. |
