I'm a coffee addict!

Avoid coffee or have it only on special occasions, just for its taste. Caffeine works as a diuretic and as well as requiring that you pass urine more often it empties the body's vitamin supply.

You may want to drink it to combat tiredness, but it allows you to work for a few hours, and then when its effect is over, you feel even more tired than before. The body quickly gets used to obtaining energy to fight tiredness in an unnatural way so it gets addicted to caffeine. The result is an increasing amount of coffee consumption year after year, and increased tiredness year after year. With regular exercise and adequate diet, tiredness can be prevented. Aim to do this and forget artificial stimulants for a lifetime!
