Yoga Journal on Caffeine and Coffee

Category: Health — by Amit D. Chaudhary @ 8:53 pm

Caffeine overload can trigger anxiety attacks, jitteriness, impatience, mood swings, and insomnia. But quitting cold turkey is not necessarily the answer either, as caffeine withdrawal may lead to irritability, constipation, and headaches.

The usual suggestion for quitting caffeine is to cut back gradually, beginning with your choice of foods and especially beverages. High levels of caffeine are found in coffee, cocoa, and chocolate, as well as in soft drinks, maté, and healthy teas like black, green, and kukicha twig.

When you’re ready to go caffeine-free, Weed suggests beginning over a long weekend when your activities are minimal.
