Coffee and Stress: What You Should Know!
Our fast paced lifestyles create a lot of stress. Occasional stress can be invigorating, but chronic stress causes many health problems. Coffee and caffeine consumption negatively impact our mind and body when we experience stress. Here are the top 8 reasons that kicking the caffeine habit can lead to a less stressful life!
- Coffee Drinking Elevates Stress Hormones
Caffeine, specifically in coffee, has been shown to elevate stress hormones including cortisol. These hormones are responsible for increased heart rate and blood pressure, and a sense of "emergency alert". The continual state of increased stress resulting from caffeine consumption can chronically increase blood pressure and affect normal heart rate and rhythm. Your immune system is also weakened when stress hormones are high. It’s hard enough to get a handle on our daily stress without unnecessarily contributing to it. Decreasing caffeine and coffee intake can go a long way towards managing your stress more effectively.
- Coffee Drinking Raises Blood Pressure
Drinking coffee has been shown to significantly increase systolic and diastolic blood pressure. High blood pressure is one of the most significant risk factors for heart disease. Drinking coffee when you are under stress, such as at work, can keep your blood pressure elevated. Lower your blood pressure and risk for heart disease by reducing your consumption of coffee.
- Stress and Coffee Increases Risk for Heart Attack
Stress is one of the leading risk factors of suffering from a heart attack. Stress is aggravated by coffee drinking and the combination has been shown to increase the incidence of heart palpitations, cardiac arrhythmias, and elevated homocysteine, which are all risk factors for heart disease. Additionally, recent research shows that people who metabolize caffeine slowly, greatly increase their risk of heart attack with the more coffee they consume. Protect your heart by not stressing out with coffee.
- Stress and Coffee Drinking Lead to Weight Gain
Coffee consumption aggravates stress including physical, mental, and emotional stress, by increasing the production of the stress hormone, cortisol. Increased levels of cortisol are associated with insulin resistance, fat cravings, and increased appetite. Elevated cortisol has been shown to create fat deposits on the abdomen. Caffeine consumption also increases the tendency of people to overeat or binge-eat causing weight gain. Quitting caffeine can help you get a handle on emotional eating and weight gain by reducing the stress hormone, cortisol.
- Stress and Caffeine Affect Memory, Cognition and Mood
Studies suggest that the parts of our brain, which is responsible for decision making, reasoning, planning and goal making, are all compromised by stress. These same studies suggest that increased experiences of stress also lead to higher incidences of depression. In addition, caffeine inhibits the blood flow to the brain and can interfere with our memory and mental performance. When you’re under stress, reduce your coffee drinking to help you function better.
- Stress and Caffeine Interferes With Sleep
Chronic stress disrupts sleep, which also inhibits the body’s ability to repair itself. When there are increased levels of stress-related hormones in the body, like cortisol which is stimulated by coffee drinking, insomnia and sleep disruption become more frequent. Caffeine can remain in the body up to 18 hours and affect your ability to sleep well and deeply. Stop stressing over a goods night’s sleep by quitting coffee!
- Stress Hormones Compromise the Immune System
Your immune system is weakened when stress hormones are chronically elevated. This accelerates a number of disease processes, including cardiovascular disease and immune system dysfunction. Caffeine should be avoided when you’re under stress and need a strong immune system to protect your health.
- Stess and Coffee Drinking Aggravate Heartburn, Ulcers and the Colonr
Stress and heightened anxiety as well as coffee and decaf, which are both highly acidic, can raises the incidence of heartburn and the risk of developing ulcers. Coffee drinking and stress both aggravate irritable bowel syndrome. Ease symptoms of intestinal disorders by reducing the amount of coffee and decaf that you drink.
