The amount of caffeine being consumed by Americans has skyrocketed in the past couple of years with new energy drinks coming to the market. RedBull and Rockstar are becoming a common household name, which means more and more people are becoming addicted to caffeine. The secret of caffeine is that it suppresses neurotransmitters in your brain to stop the nerve impulses that make you feel tired, which is one of the main reason caffeine is addictive. People depend on the energy it provides, but at what cost? Caffeine is known to trigger migraines, heartburn, and can also lead to dehydration, not to mention the impact it has on your heart. If you are looking to cut down on caffeine but still have enough energy to get through the day, try working on a better sleep schedule and develop a sleep routine to help you get a full nights rest.
