Tips for Controlling Your Caffeine Intake

March 2, 2015 By

Cup of coffeeCaffeine has become a part of our culture. Unfortunately, it has also been shown to cause health problems when consumed in excess. Most people today consume some amount of caffeine on a daily basis either intentionally or unintentionally. Several tips will help you to control your caffeine intake.

Know Exactly What You Are Eating and Drinking

Caffeine can be found in many foods, beverages and medications. It is commonly added to vitamin supplements and weight loss products. You should start by finding out exactly how much caffeine is in what you are eating and drinking. If the amount is not listed on the products, then you can usually find an exact answer online. Start to limit or avoid high-caffeine foods entirely.

Find Caffeine-Free Alternatives

Some people end up consuming caffeinated beverages and foods because of the taste. This is especially true for things like sugary sodas. You should start finding caffeine-free alternatives. Many products are available like caffeine free sodas, sparkling fruit juices, and other items that taste good without introducing a large amount of caffeine into your body.

Eat a Healthy Diet

Eat a balanced and healthy diet in order to reduce your cravings for caffeine. Some people are used to getting a boost during the day from a soda or cup of coffee. If you have balanced meals and snacks during the day that include proteins, complex carbohydrates, and fruits or vegetables, then your body is going to have long-lasting energy naturally. This will make it easy to avoid caffeine.

Get Enough Rest Each Day

There are individuals who rely on caffeine as a way to fight fatigue and exhaustion. This is not healthy and can cause problems with your body. You can break your reliance on caffeine by getting enough rest each day. Relax at the end of the day, go to bed at a reasonable hour and get between six and eight hours of sleep a night in a comfortable and quiet place. You will wake up feeling energetic and refreshed.
