Caffeine Making You Nutritionally Nuts?

     Are you dependent on caffeine?  If so you're in trouble.  Those who need the stimulation from caffeine everyday are over-stimulating their adrenal glands and this practice could seriously affect the body long-term.  If you drink to enjoy caffeine that's fine, when it becomes a necessity or a daily absolute used to crank you up - watch out!
  
     Stimulating the adrenal glands continuously through the use of caffeine in soda, coffee, and  energy drinks or other ways artificially - reduces the cortisol levels to an unhealthy level.    
     Other stress hormones like adrenaline also get over-taxed and when the body hits a certain limit- it will eventually give up.
  
     Hows that ?  Know that all of the caffeine, drugs and things that are put into the body must be metabolized.  Caffeine is a stress all by itself, and it attacks the adrenal glands forcing the liver overwork in clearing the body of these stimulants.  This greatly interferes with the liver's ability to complete it's task of removing toxins, poisons, and by-products of the diet from the cells.

  
     These stresses burn through the B-vitamins, and other nutrients, and that eventually leads to other deficiencies.  Causing the body to steal from one place to feed another. Like stuffing the body fat with excessive acid to balance the alkaline or pH. 

     At a certain point  the use of these stimulants will require more and more, then at some point it just does not matter.  Resulting in disease, symptoms, and other problems.

     Though the body does have a great regenerative capacity it certainly has it's limits. Cortisol and melatonin run your daily clock.
If the adrenals are pushed beyond the point of high stress and ultimately to the point of total exhaustion, it will drop the cortisol levels to such a scarce amount, and it will burn out the adrenals. It takes a long time to restore the adrenal glands back to normal range and levels.

     If you are in doubt about whether this could describe you or a friend, please check with a clinic to schedule a cortisol check-up.  It won't kill you - really.  Who knows it could be a rewarding decision for someone you love.  Maybe that someone is reading this message. 

     Should you find that you are dependent on caffeine then seek to find an alternative to this stimulant.
