The TRUTH About Caffeine: Friend or Foe?

I want to tell you one specific thing that caffeine is doing to you, that is actually robbing you of energy, as opposed to giving you energy.

When you drink coffee or even energy drinks, caffeine is the main component. The main drug in there  is a stimulant. What a stimulant does is jazz up your body. It jazzes up your adrenal glands, which are little walnut shaped glands that sit on top of your kidneys. They secrete a lot of your stress hormones, your fight or flight response hormones. One of them being adrenalin.

That is why you feel the initial euphoria. It is really an adrenalin surge. But as you’ve probably witnessed, that adrenaline surge, that feeling of go, go, go, doesn’t last forever. It’s followed by a crash. Therefore you seek out more caffeine afterwards. Therein there’s lies the problem.
