Caffeine

I've been talking about coffee and caffeine. There are a couple of things that you should also be aware of in regard to caffeine. While coffee is a source of caffeine, there are other ways that we get caffeine. Regular tea, both green and black, actually contains more caffeine than coffee. Colas also contain caffeine. One of the worse soft drinks is Mountain Dew in terms of the amount of caffeine.

So when I said 1-2 cups of coffee, that means if you're drinking coffee, cut the colas and tea. If you don't like coffee and are drinking tea, the same rules apply. Be sure to drink a glass of purified water for each cup or glass of tea. My suggestion is that if you are drinking cola or Mountain Dew, switch to something else. There are other detrimental effects from drinking sodas.
