Caffeine Myth #5 – Caffeine causes hyperactivity in Children – True or False?

Myth #5: Caffeine causes hyperactivity in children. False: ? A kid on a Coke rush will practically bounce off walls. But studies show that a moderate amount of caffeine (40 mg to 200 mg) doesn’t make them hyperactive. (For reference, that 12-ounce can of Coke has 35 mg.) Like adults, kids will get an energy boost from caffeine. But whether it’s soda, green tea or coffee, “on average, one serving a day wouldn’t be considered harmful overall for children,” says Suzanne Sheres, a pediatric clinical dietitian at Nemours Children’s Clinic in Orlando. A bigger concern is the empty calories in soda and

Caffine Myths #4 – Caffeine heightens hypertension risk True or False?

Myth #4: Caffeine heightens hypertension risk. True and false: ? Caffeine does cause a small, short-term boost in blood pressure, but it’s nothing serious, Messerli says, and has no lingering health effect. In fact, a Harvard University Medical School study of 155,000 female nurses found no link between a decade of coffee drinking – with or without caffeine – and an increased risk of hypertension. Caffeinated colas did increase the risk, but that could be due to the sugar and other ingredients in sodas, not the caffeine. Tea drinking received mixed results. As for men, a 33-year-long Johns?Hopkins University study of more than 1,000 participants revealed that coffee played almost no role in hypertension risk.

Caffeine Myths #3 – Caffeine can make heart disease worse – True or False?

Myth #3: Caffeine can make heart disease worse. False: ? ? Doctors often tell cardiac patients, especially those with high blood pressure, to avoid caffeine. But there’s little proof that it raises the risk of heart attack , sudden death or abnormal heart rhythms. In fact, coffee drinking may reduce risk of heart disease ! A study by Autonomous?University of Madrid of more than 126,000 people found that women who drank two to three cups of caffeinated coffee per day had a 25% lower risk of heart disease . Men didn’t show any higher or lower risk. Drinking tea – black and green – may also have heart-healthy benefits. “Tea in general seems to have cardiovascular benefits,” says Messerli, also a cardiologist and director of hypertension at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center in Manhattan. The “benefits of tea are probably due to its antioxidant properties,” he says. But not all teas are created equal. Herbal ones such as chamomile, rosebud and elderberry don’t have the same antioxidants. Plus, “when you add cream or milk, you may abolish the benefits,” Messerli says, “because it seems that the milk or the cream prevents the antioxidant substance from acting.”

Caffeine Myths #2 – Caffeine causes dehydration – True or False

Myth #2 : Caffeine causes dehydration. True: ? Caffeine is a mild diuretic, but “it’s not very pronounced,” says Franz H.?Messerli, M.D., a professor of clinical medicine at Columbia University in New York City. Still, diuretics make you have to pee. The more often you go, the more fluids you lose. And you’ll feel more dehydrated because you’re losing more fluids than you’re taking in. “I wouldn’t drink a double espresso before a run, but would have no problem drinking a 12-ounce Coke,” Messerli explains. That’s because all fluids, even those with caffeine, contribute to the body’s daily fluid total.

Caffeine Myths #1 of 9: Caffeine is addictive True or False?

More computer finds that I wanted to share.? Some of these I’ve heard all my life so now I know if they are True or False. Myth #1: Caffeine is addictive. False: Although caffeine is considered a mild stimulant, it’s not addictive, according to the American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse . Unlike classic stimulants – think cocaine and amphetamines – there’s rarely a strong compulsion to use caffeine. But caffeine can be habit-forming. That’s why you may feel mild withdrawal symptoms if you skip your morning cup of joe or afternoon pick-me-up. Typical symptoms include headache, restlessness and irritability. Should you decide to give up caffeine, don’t go cold turkey; instead, slowly decrease your consumption over a week. Really though, why bother? Studies show moderate caffeine?intake actually enhances your mood and improves alertness. For adults, the American?Dietetic Association suggests no more than 200 mg to 300 mg a day, which equals two to three cups of coffee.

What’s Your Color Personality? Part 3 (End)

Black represents the absence of light and color. In Western cultures, black is considered the color of death. Its color personality is associated with feelings of mourning and grief , and also of hatred. However, black also can be powerful and provocative, which explains its use in men’s suits and its effectiveness when used in dresses. Wear black when you want to make an impression and project seriousness. White is the symbol of balance and unity, of all the colors coming together as one in harmony. As such, white is a powerful symbol of purity and peace — for example, its use in wedding gowns and monuments. However, in a daily setting, white can be jarring and feel unfriendly and sterile. People are less likely to be productive or feel comfortable in a room painted white.

What’s Your Color Personality? Part 2

Green , the color of life and nature, is associated in the United States with health and prosperity. Like blue, green can promote relaxation, peace, and calm. Because green is often considered the most neutral of the colors, it is often used in institutional settings such as schools and hospitals and in color therapy. Green in your clothing could help people think of you as positive and relaxed, and a darker green room could be an ideal place to unwind. Orange is an odd color, in that it provokes mixed reactions. It’s not as intense as red, so it doesn’t prompt the same violent mood reaction. Orange and its darker sister, brown, tend to have connections to the natural world?and the great? outdoors ?similar to those of?the color green. Regarding color and mood, orange can produce feelings of warmth and enthusiasm, while brown creates feelings of comfort and security. As such, brown furniture may feel seem more relaxing and pleasing in a room than orange furniture. Violet – Because it is a “cool” color like blue and green, violet feels soothing and peaceful and can help relieve anxiety . However, purple also has connections to royalty and nobility, and can feel like an exotic color. A purple tie can add a touch of dash to your look; however, a purple suit probably would be too much. One study found that people responded much more positively to a store painted violet than they did to the same store painted in yellow.
