It’s the common complaint you hear uttered by friends, family and
co-workers throughout the day. “I just can’t get going without my cup of
coffee!” What happened to the days of childhood when we used to bound out
of bed with plenty of energy and we kept going at an energetic pace until

studies show that we are actually inducing a state of stress. Caffeine
drives the adrenal glands to produce stress hormones that can remain in

every bit of energy was required to survive an impending disaster such as
an attack by a foe.
