I love my morning cappuccino.
It is a great way to start the day, in spite of the fact that “Too much caffeine can…
-Overstimulate your central nervous system, leading to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure.
-Affect energy levels. Following an initial energy boost, your energy plummets because of resulting low blood-sugar levels.
-Decrease bone density, putting you at risk of the bone-wasting disease, osteoporosis.
-Inhibit absorption of essential vitamins and minerals, such as calcium and iron. Taking a vitamin supplement with a cup of coffee or tea, for example, can render it useless.
-Irritate the lining of your stomach and oesophagus, causing indigestion, ulcers and digestive problems.
-Aggravate PMS and menopause symptoms, such as fluid retention, breast tenderness and hot flushes.
-Cause headaches, including the triggering of migraines in some sufferers. It can also cause insomnia.”*
I don’t care. I love my cappuccino.
