Surpisingly, excess amounts of caffeine cunsumed on a weekly basis has a direct correlation with your energy level, levels of stress, emotional state, and perception.
I was once enrolled in an Interpersonal Communitcations course where the instructor handed out a list of dailyt items that contain caffeine. W e were to record how many servings of soda pop or coffe, or energy drinks in a week.
The results showed that those studentsa suffering from anxiety when presented with in class asignments and public speaking exercises, were consuming more caffeine than should be.
I work in an office as a marketing analyst. I have access to all the free starbucks I can use, but HELL NO!
First off, your daily cup of joe conditions not only your body, but also your mind into dependency. The amount of sugar in your blood stream is low during the early hours and in the evening (aropund 4pm) ironically, these are the same time frames that people end up falling asleep behind the wheel.
Keep snacks in your purse for when you crave a little boost.
But your best bet is to eat a hearty breakfast or start off your day with an apple or an orange. Make a habit of cutting down on the amount of caffeine you take and EAT MORE FRUITS!
There's an alternative; drink tea. Not only is idoes it contain naturally protective antioxidants, you dont worry so much about the stench of your breath!
