The Gift of Good Health
Health is something we can’t afford to take for granted. If we are blessed with good health and a strong genetic inheritance, it is still up to us to support our bodies with healthy lifestyle habits. It only takes one day of illness, an injury or a broken limb for us to realize how precious our good health is and how dependent our enjoyment of life is on having healthy bodies.
The problem is, good health can slowly ebb away without our noticing it. When a health crisis arises, we get a major wake-up call. It’s like having a foundation pulled out from under us. Of course, it would be much better if it didn’t take a crisis to motivate us to switch from unhealthy habits to ones that serve us better. Luckily, our bodies have a tremendous capacity for renewal.
Scientific Research on the Effects of Coffee & Caffeine
Teeccino has employed independent medical researchers to compile studies about health concerns that are affected by caffeine and coffee. We have organized the information to be helpful to both the layperson and health professionals. We also provide the citations for the studies so further research is possible.
Beware of the media suggesting that coffee is good for this or that. Since studies can be funded by organizations set on proving caffeine is good for everyone, they can be skewed to favor positive outcomes. Many scientific studies use healthy young adults or only men and may exclude individuals with conditions that might make them more susceptible to caffeine.
Our Genes Affect Our Caffeine Sensitivity
Science is at the very beginning of understanding how our genes differ in metabolizing caffeine. Large population studies don’t take our genetic differences into account. Hopefully, as genetic science evolves, we will get much better information that can be tailored to our personal health needs.
Our Bodies Change as We Age
What was fine in your twenties may become problematic in your forties. Women clearly experience more reactions to caffeine as they age than most men. We hear reports from people who go from one day drinking coffee without a problem to the next day suddenly developing an intolerance for it. Aging is full of surprises!
The Road to Optimal Health
The research we have compiled is here to serve you – only you can decide what is best for your body. We encourage you to look at the information we have gathered that is relevant to your own health to consider how caffeine may be exacerbating any symptoms or health conditions you are experiencing.
The road to optimal health is a lifelong path that is full of self-discovery. Our purpose is to provide some signposts along the way!
