NOTES

DON’T LET YOUR MORNING PICK-ME-UP TEAR YOU DOWN

• Caffeine can’t provide energy, only chemical stimulation, an induced emergency state that can lead to

irritability, mood swings, and panic attacks.

• Caffeine’s ultimate mood effect can be letdown, which can lead to depression and chronic fatigue.

• Caffeine gives the illusion of heightened alertness by dilating pupils, quickening heart rate, and raising

blood pressure. In fact, caffeine does not increase overall mental activity.

LET CAFFEINE BLUES BRING YOU BETTER HEALTH

For the children, who need to be nourished and protected.
