addiction..



evil caffeine molecule vs temptation

coffee addiction..to be precise caffeine addiction is something that increase with your age..and something that u can't run from. i wonder why is that so? i'm positive that our parents most probably wouldn't make coffee for us when we're little and told us that we need to drink those everyday, right? But as we get older, we tend to try coffee since it's like macho or cool to drink coffee and be like adults, hence addicted to coffee.(this is just my opinion)

of course there's the pros and cons of drinking coffee..coffee appears to reduce the risk Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson disease, heart disease, diabetes mellitus type 2 (what is that type 2 thingy??) etc. but too much of coffee will lead to Hypomagnesaemia (go ask ur doctor friends what this is..i don't know), coronary heart disease, increase the risk of acid reflux etc.

so it depends on how you look at it..too much of something is always bad, right?

If you're trying to low your coffee dosage or even stop drinking coffee..here's some tips:

1. try other hot beverages for a change, z.B. herbal tea,hot choc etc. coz normally the addiction to coffee includes addiction of having hot drinks.

2. try changing from espresso based coffee to grain coffee bcoz grain coffee is naturally caffeine free.

3. if u go to starbucks or costa or other coffee houses, try ordering decaffeinated coffee instead of the normal ones. decaf coffee has 85% less caffeine

4. go smash ur friends or ur university coffee machine (in my case) ;p


that's all for this time guys. cheers!

drinking plain coffee is not so bad, compared to drinking those ice blended and frappacinos and lattes at starbucks or other coffee shops. the amount of sugar and fat in those drinks is just absurdly high.

i've read yesterday about this coffee based drink from baskin robbins which contains 2100++ calories(kcal) in it.
