Less Coffee

Caffeine is one of the most common stimulants in our culture. In moderate doses, caffeine can:

    coffee cup
  • increase alertness
  • reduce fine motor coordination
  • cause insomnia
  • produce nervousness and dizziness
  • raise heart rate
  • constrict blood vessels
  • increase urine production
  • create an addiction

Coffee is a common source of caffeine, but caffeine is also a component in tea, cocoa, chocolate, some soft drinks and certain drugs. Pure caffeine is odorless and has a bitter taste.

The boost in energy and feeling of heightened alertness that coffee drinking provides comes at a cost: addiction. It operates on the central nervous system using the same mechanism used by amphetamines, cocaine and heroin.

Want to quit?

To avoid the characteristic headache that comes from abruptly stopping cold turkey, most people report success in reducing their caffeine intake at the rate of 1/2 cup of coffee a day.

Why does chiropractic work?
Chiropractic works because your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body, controls and regulates every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. A chiropractor locates and reduces areas of nervous system compromise (usually along the spine) so your capacity to heal is restored. Chiropractic works by helping your body work as it was designed.
Why do so many drugs require a prescription?
Because they can be dangerous? I chose a chiropractic career specifically because it avoids artificial means of pain relief. Our Oakdale chiropractic practice attracts health-conscious families that prefer a safe and natural solution. Ready to get started? Call our office today.
