Truth be told, it seem that everybody responds to food items differently. Some things that stand out in my mind are nuts and assorted nut products. Then there are people who could consume just about anything.
I know for me personally, I have to watch my coffee and caffeine consumption. It seems that I am developing a dependency on caffeine. If I go a long time without drinking caffeine, I get severe headaches. I know for me the caffeine induces many of these, because if I don’t consume my usual cups of coffee, the symptoms increase. What’s going on I thought? Maybe I’m actually addicted to caffeine.
Unfortunately, I don’t know what I would do without the morning cup of coffee, and subsequent caffeine jolt. It seems to really get me going, and I truly believe it’s a habit. Now could I go the day without caffeine. I’m beginning to doubt it.
Unfortunately, my consumption of straight up java in the early hours of the day does not go without its unique effects. Caffeine withdrawal is the newly recognized disorder that is getting a lot of attention lately. I guess I really have to be a little concerned about my excessive caffeine consumption.
Speaking only for myself, I know if I don’t get my caffeine jolt in the morning and throughout the course of the day, I can be a different person. Associates as well as family members say I am a bit “cranky”, and seem to have a short fuse. I tend to disagree, but I am not on the outside looking in.
If it wasn’t for those pounding caffeine headaches I have, and a bit of the jitters, I probably wouldn’t have any side effects at all. But then again, who wants to deal with them all day. So perhaps there is some truth to this “caffeine withdrawal” disorder they have been speaking about.
What we do have to remember is that everybody is different. Caffeine may not bother you as it does me. Checking with a physician is always a good idea if you are having any symptoms. I know for me it would be a tough thing to give up. But if less side effects is a goal, I just might have to concede.
