Caffeine - good or bad?

Soft drinks, coffee, chocolate and tea, caffeine is present in these drinks. What really is caffeine and what bad reaction or effect can it bring to our body, it is discussed in this article.

Caffeine is a flavorless substance that improves our body’s energy temporarily and acts as refreshment to our nervous system. Study shows that caffeine especially in coffee can reduce the risks of some illness like Diabetes and Parkinson’s disease, to mention the few. But the key there is moderation. Anything excessive is considered bad. Too much consumption or intake of caffeine is not advisable, for our body will get agitated. Extreme intake could result to tremors and sleeping problem, to mention some bad effects. If we are the kind of person who is addicted to caffeine, we have to gradually decrease our intake.

The question now, is too intake caffeine to our body or not? It is us personally, who knows how much caffeine in our body is needed. The older we get the greater caffeine we take. Remember though that to remain healthy, moderation is the secret.

The next time we go for a drink, consider the caffeine content and decide whether to drink or not to drink. THINK!
