Common negative side effects of caffeine include:

Feeling anxious, excitable, restless, dizzy or irritable
Being unable to concentrate
Having stomach aches
Developing chronic headaches
Trouble sleeping

These negative effects could be the result of caffeine's stimulant effect. Since caffeine is a diuretic, it can increase calcium loss in the urine. For every 8oz cup of coffee, approximately 5mg of calcium is excreted. This loss could negatively impact your bones, particularly if you aren't consuming enough calcium. Diuretics are also known to cause low sodium in your blood, increased blood sugar, increased cholesterol and joint disorders. As a result of this calcium loss, research has shown that caffeine could increase the possibility of osteoporosis later in life.

Caffeine can also increase your blood pressure. For individuals with high to normal blood pressure, or for those diagnosed with hypertension it is recommended that you eliminate caffeine from your diet.

The Effects of Caffeine on Your Sleep and Exercise
Caffeine's stimulating effects are why so many people drink coffee and other caffeinated drinks. But what many people don't know is that the short stimulating effects of caffeine can negatively affect their health. By substituting caffeine with a natural energy boost like Jiva's Nutritional Beverage, those negative side effects will subside.

Since caffeine tends to keep you awake longer, it can shorten the amount of sleep you get, and it gives you less time to restore your body and mind. As a result, this takes a toll on your alertness and overall health. Research shows less than six to seven hours of sleep a night may increase your risk for diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and obesity. What happens is, when you wake from sleep before your natural cycle is complete, your body assumes there is a life-threatening reason. As a result, your body releases a lot of inflammatory chemicals in case of injury. Just one night of inadequate sleep can cause inflammation levels to rise and that inflammation can negatively affect your health!

After caffeine's stimulating effects wear off you can feel fatigued. This can make physical activity more difficult and take a toll on your health. As it is, in today's society most people don't have a lot of extra time in their schedules to exercise. However, any way that you can get moving will benefit your health. New research shows that exercise reduces the amount of inflammation in your body. Those who exercise regularly have lower blood levels of CRP (the indicator of body-wide inflammation). If you can get moving now, within weeks the levels of CRP in your body will decrease.
