It seems in today’s world that most adults like to have a caffeine rush first thing in the morning just to get them started. Caffeine just seems to be in most things today and we are hardly aware of it. We all know it is in coffee but it is also in coke and Red Bull as well as many other day to day things.

Caffeine can have a profound effect on our central nervous system. It is a very powerful stimulant that has been termed a psychoactive drug and has been likened to many illegal drugs.

Caffeine can have its plus points such as it can release adrenaline into the body when taken just before a work out. This makes the work out easier to do as it makes you feel stronger and alert. Caffeine can also be found in many performance enhancing drugs too such as Nitrous Oxide.

Not a lot of people know this but caffeine can be used quite effectively as a pain killer. It can be found in small amounts in the pain killers that we use regularly.

Such is the affect of caffeine on our central nervous system that it can actually make our brain believe that we need caffeine therefore becoming addicted to this drug.

This explains why so many people have to make sure that they get their daily blast of caffeine in the morning. Have you ever noticed how certain people just cannot get going without their caffeine rush in the mornings?

Just like the many illegal drugs out there caffeine only needs about 3 days to get people addicted to it if it is taken regularly. So the next time you are out and about having coffee just give this a thought.

Another issue with caffeine drinks such as coffee is that if you do drink a lot of coffee each day it can also impact on your weight.
