When was the last time you went 24 hours caffeine-free? Here in 2022, the world runs on stimulants. From the morning cup of coffee to the afternoon energy drinkβ¦Caffeine has become a staple in the lives of most individuals.
Becoming reliant on any sort of substance to get through your day is never ideal. The mindset of βitβs just one cup of coffeeβ needs to change for your health in the long run. The chemicals released when caffeine is ingested can have long term effects on the chemistry of the brain. Hereβs what happens when you ingest too much caffeine for too long.
Adenosine is a neurotransmitter (a chemical messenger) that causes lethargy and tiredness. Our brain contains receptors for adenosine. When there is a balance of adenosine to receptors, the feeling of tiredness does not set in.
Caffeine and adenosine are similar in structure.
When caffeine is ingested, it sets in motion the process for the brain to create more receptors as if it was to handle additional adenosine. This imbalance means the body requires more caffeine to offset this change, otherwise chronic tiredness sets in. So how do we set things straight after being in the habit of relying on caffeine?
βResetβ your receptors.
Taking a break from caffeine for around two weeks can bring the count of receptors back down to normal levels. Utilize these two weeks breaks from caffeine every other month at the minimum to optimize your health in the long run.
