How bad is coffee for you?

[USMCboxer]

damn we actually agree


no it was normal coffe.

norway is by the way one off the most coffe drinking countries in the world, and we live til we are 70

Hope this was a typo man. "70?" That's nothing brother. Even in the US, life expectancy is, on average, over 75 years of age. It's typically between 75.7 and 76.5 years, with it having risen recently to 77.9 years. Hard to calculate precisely however, because even worldwide life expectancies vary based on the year a person was born; It's not based on the year you're presently living in. Anyway you cut it though, saying you live until you're "70" isn't saying too much. But I get the idea of where you're coming from.

My only point was to avoid the caffeine. Decaf coffee isn't that much better because, frankly, there are chemicals other than caffeine which are present in the coffee which can be just as harmful to some people. There is a roller-coaster effect to coffee and caffeine; highs and lows, crashes and rebounds which come from consuming the drug. You cut it out of your diet, you'll feel better, have improved energy, sleeping patterns (sounder sleep, deeper sleep), etc. Even been known to give some heart palpitations given the impact of caffeine on blood pressure and your heart rate.

I used to consume caffeine like crazy. Found that it was giving me blinding headaches and even raised my blood pressure. Had to cut it cold turkey. That wasn't as hard as most people think, or as it sounds. Now it's been years since I've had it. I admit, I miss the tastes of (sometimes) colas and coffee too, but don't miss the effects of what it did to my life. Feel way, way better with out it. Just one boxer's opinion on it, but I'll admit it might impact everyone differently.

Ok, you saying weed has hardly any negative effects is very troubling especially if your a boxer.

On The Brain:
-THC rapidly passes from the lungs into the bloodstream, which carries the chemical to organs throughout the body, including the brain.

-In the brain, THC connects to specific sites called cannabinoid receptors on nerve cells and influences the activity of those cells. Many cannabinoid receptors are found in the parts of the brain that influence pleasure, memory, thought, concentration, sensory and time perception, and coordinated movement. (seems like things important to boxing, No?)

-Short term memory loss, as well as problems learning anything.

On The Heart:
-One study has indicated that an abuser's risk of heart attack more than quadruples in the first hour after smoking marijuana.

On The Lungs:
- Even infrequent abuse can cause burning and stinging of the mouth and throat, often accompanied by a heavy cough.

-Marijuana abuse also has the potential to promote cancer of the lungs and other parts of the respiratory tract because it contains irritants and carcinogens.

-Marijuana users usually inhale more deeply and hold their breath longer than tobacco smokers do, which increases the lungs' exposure to carcinogenic smoke. These facts suggest that, puff for puff, smoking marijuana may be more harmful to the lungs than smoking tobacco.


I've had enough friends who dont reach their potential because of POT. Dont fall into that trap.

how bout the muscles, heard weed does something to them?
Weed is tearing up my town, you go behind my local genavese(its like a supermarket) and all u see its potheads and dealers. they just smoke the **** right there. Actually thats the drug hotspot as u could see guys shooting up heroin and others sniffing coke in their cars. I really gotta get away cuz i feel myself getting pulled in

Drink RockStar Energy Drink instead.

You Get Vitamins and good things instead of just dirty water with some caffeine.

OK thats a little harsh, coffee is still good so just drop a vitamin in your coffee...





Oh ya and the Texans beat Philly on Sunday...

great debate...but back to the original question.

Cold showers, working out before I leave, ice cold on my neck, etc etc will wake me up...what about the freshly squeezed juices. Will that help me to get awake?
