Let’s take a look at some of the other awareness month topics:
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Awareness month— fitting that it falls in March with Caffeine Awareness.
- Alcohol Awareness Month— April
- Arthritis Awareness Month—May
There are hundreds of different awareness topics.
So what does awareness mean in regards to these topics?
It’s meant to be an annual reminder to all of us. A reminder telling us to pay attention to our habits, safety, and overall knowledge of the topic.
Is caffeine bad? No. The overuse and abuse of caffeine is bad. Continued abuse might just make you celebrate Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Awareness Month.
What we all need to be aware of, is our level of daily caffeine use. A cup each morning to start your day? Great, no problem. Studies actually show that a mild dose of caffeine in the morning helps to fire up our neurons and get our brain’s activity level alert and ready.
Here is where awareness comes into play.
Do you find yourself needing more caffeine throughout the day, every day? Do you switch to soda or a caffeine juiced energy drink? Do you head back to the coffee shop in the afternoon for another hit? Do you find yourself craving a beverage that has caffeine?
Caffeine addiction is real. It’s a daily habit that grows slowly. It doesn’t start off with massive amounts of caffeine, because we don’t need a large amount.
Over time our body adjusts to the caffeine hit and we require more to get the same effect. Slowly our usage starts to increase until before we know it, we are constantly consuming caffeine throughout our day.
Caffeine is simply a band-aid for poor nutrition and lack of rest. Caffeine in the beginning will fake your body into feeling alert, energetic and ready for the day. In a pinch, it will pep you up but after continued use, it will drain you. Caffeine abuse can lead to anxiety, depression, difficulty sleeping, nausea, and restlessness. Once you are addicted, stopping caffeine use can cause drowsiness, headaches, irritability and nausea.
So how do you ease off that caffeine gas pedal if you are now aware of the abuse? Gradually reduce your intake over the next week. Each day reduce the amount of caffeinated products you consume AND nourish your body with Life Shotz, a good diet and 6-8 hours of sleep.
