Is it true that coffee is addictive and what are the consequences of giving up caffeine?
For a long time, coffee was called a drink harmful to health, but in the end it turned out to be the opposite. The health benefits of coffee are obvious, with some exceptions.
You can't drink it on an empty stomach, you can't abuse it, and they also say that coffee is addictive and giving it up is fraught with consequences.
Coffee and addiction
A sudden refusal to drink coffee will definitely not pass without a trace - withdrawal syndrome occurs. A similar condition occurs after long-term use of medications.
A person may experience symptoms such as headache, muscle pain, fatigue, apathy or depression.
All this is important to know for people who regularly drink coffee and suffer from anxiety or other disorders.
In this case, you need to give up drinking coffee gradually.
It is equally important to know how to minimize the harmful effects of caffeine on the body.
To do this you need:
drink more water (for example, a glass of water after drinking a cup of coffee) – it will be easier for the body to eliminate caffeine;
replace coffee with herbal infusions, tea, add chamomile, valerian to the tea leaves;
If you suffer from headaches after giving up coffee, you can take a painkiller that does not contain caffeine.
