Less Coffee

Caffeine is one of the most common stimulants in our culture. In moderate doses, caffeine can:

    coffee cup
  • increase alertness
  • reduce fine motor coordination
  • cause insomnia
  • produce nervousness and dizziness
  • raise heart rate
  • constrict blood vessels
  • increase urine production
  • create an addiction

Coffee is a common source of caffeine, but caffeine is also a component in tea, cocoa, chocolate, some soft drinks and certain drugs. Pure caffeine is odorless and has a bitter taste.

The boost in energy and feeling of heightened alertness that coffee drinking provides comes at a cost: addiction. It operates on the central nervous system using the same mechanism used by amphetamines, cocaine and heroin.

Want to quit?

To avoid the characteristic headache that comes from abruptly stopping cold turkey, most people report success in reducing their caffeine intake at the rate of 1/2 cup of coffee a day.

Dr. Meadows Asks some important questions of interest to Kirkland residents - Chiropractor Kirkland Dr. Meadows Asks...

What's a side effect?
It may sound like a bonus; something extra, but chiropractors know it should more accurately called an "unintended effect," and "unwanted effect" or in some cases an "adverse effect." A pill can't come close to matching your body's ability to create and deliver the essential compounds it needs. That's when it's important to make sure your nervous system is working correctly—the purpose of chiropractic care!
What's the difference between maintenance, prevention and wellness?
Maintenance chiropractic care is an attempt to keep a dynamic, ever-changing and adapting organism (you) in a static relationship with your environment. Preventive chiropractic care is mostly about early detection. Wellness chiropractic care is an attempt to optimize our health and be all that you were designed to be.
