Avoid Stress While Drinking Coffee

When the pressure of work
emerge, often enjoy a cup of coffee
into options to help cool down.
Unfortunately, it's actually not a
healthy choice.

"Caffeine is a stimulant that
prompts the body to release stress
hormones that make you more
depressed and anxious than
before," explains Dr Marilyn
Glenville, a nutritionist and author
of Natural Alternatives to Sugar.

Stopping caffeine while you
experience stress or anxiety is the
best choice. However, for those
who already regularly consume, it
is advisable to reduce caffeine
gradually. Because the caffeine
acts like a drug, so you are
advised not to stop suddenly.

You may experience symptoms
were quite dramatic when to stop
caffeine suddenly, such as
headache, nausea, fatigue, muscle
cramps and depression.

"To minimize this effect, try to
reduce it gradually. It's much
better to reduce stress slowly.
Begin by cutting a half portion of
the total intake of coffee per day,
and then gradually move on
without caffeine," said Glenville.

Then, Glenville adding, changing
slowly with other beverages such
as herbal tea. Although there are
types of coffee without caffeine,
ideally, you need to "eliminate"
although decaffeinated coffee if
you want to relieve stress.

Because, coffee contains other
stimulants, namely theobromine
and theophylline, which also has
the effect of "enhancer" anxious
and stressed.
