1. Less anxiety. Caffeine comes with a burst of energy, which is what most of us use it for. However, that energy also stimulates our “fight or flight” hormones. This can cause increased anxiety, nervousness, heart palpitations, and even panic attacks.
2. You can sleep better. Your caffeine habit could affect your sleep. Studies show that daily coffee intake can alter the sleep cycle, causing restless sleep and daytime sleepiness.
3. Healthier (and whiter!) Teeth: Coffee and tea can stain your teeth. This is due to the high level of tannins present in these drinks, which cause buildup and discoloration of the teeth.
4. Lower your blood pressure. Caffeine has been shown to raise blood pressure levels due to the stimulating effect on the nervous system.
