Guest guest Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Stay Younger: Skip The Coffee by Victoria All of us know that stress ages us quickly. And for those of you that still think you need caffeine to keep going, in time, stress and caffeine contribute to adrenal exhaustion. When this happens, important hormones are depleted and you will end up highly fatigued. Caffeine accelerates aging by impairing immunity, which occurs through the elevation of stress hormones, nutrition depletion, and depression of DHEA. According to Stephen Chernisek, author of "Caffeine Blues," caffeine also does the following in the body: 1. Raises blood sugar levels and disrupts sugar- regulating effect of insulin 2. Raises fatty acid levels in the blood 3. Raises homocysteine levels, which greatly increases the diabetic's risk for cardiovascular disease 4. Causes vascular resistance (circulation is reduced) 5. And caffeine raises stress hormone levels which is a primary risk factor for diabetes Get rid of caffeine if you are serious about preserving your youth and having long term health.
