Introduction |
Contributed by Marina Kushner Caffeine is prized for its ability to stimulate our brain and open the brain's doorway of dopamine, giving us higher emotions, mental sharpness and stronger urges to act. People crave caffeine because it gets dopamine out of our brains quickly, like other strong substances. Dopamine is a neuro-transmitter, the brain's chemical messenger which is responsible for energy level, vigilance, alertness, reaction time, spontaneity, etc. However, dopamine is also responsible for addiction to stimulants. Large quantities of caffeine can quickly expend the levels of dopamine and diminish the production of dopamine-creating brain cells. As a result, you feel, fatigued and exhausted. To fix this, you reach for another dose of caffeine. This is the how the process of the reduction of dopamine somatic cells works. Dopamine reduction quickens with age and caffeine ingestion. Parkinson's sickness is the result of a serious reduction of dopamine somatic cell. Those with Parkinson's sickness gain from caffeine's stimulation on dopamine discharge. Even so, about seventy to eighty percent of dopamine somatic cells become permanently lost previous to becoming aware of its symptoms. In addition, caffeine is linked to growth of more health problems. The creation of stress hormones by the adrenal glands is dangerously accelerated by caffeine. Right into the bloodstream go the stress hormones adrenalin and cortisol, when the adrenal gland receives the message from our pituitary gland, in our brain, that is all started from a single cup of a caffeinated drink. A natural consequence of a dangerous situation is a feeling of warm blood shooting through our veins, while the stress hormones are let out. The quick "pick-me-up" from caffeine actually comes from a stress hormone. Caffeine is a strong stimulant and an irritant that triggers the body's defense response by releasing the stress hormones. After a while though, the defense mechanism becomes frail. With the use of caffeine moving a constant supply of artificial adrenalin, the glands are exhausted and aren't able to secrete enough hormones. With greater pressure put on the glands, a caffeine addict is driven to revive his energy rush and keep increasing his ingestion, causing the glands to become exhausted. Consequences will occur as this cycle continues. Gradually, adrenal depletion occurs for caffeine consumers. Negative changes happen in the correct operation of the immune, endocrine, and nervous system as daily overproduction of stress hormones, which too much are poisonous, gradually altering the blood makeup. Any or all of these situations may eventually happen; chronic fatigue, increased insulin and blood sugar levels, weight gain, increased blood pressure, irritation, anxiety, depression, sleeping disorder, frequent virus outbreaks, ulcers, thinning of the skin, bone loss, thyroid problems and other dangerous signs of severe health difficulties.
