How Caffeine Works in our Bodies
At its core, caffeine acts by blocking receptors in the brain that make you feel tired. However, long-term use can lead to an increase in receptors and hormones, resulting in dependence on caffeine. Strategic usage of caffeine can help prevent negative effects and withdrawal symptoms. By learning how to use caffeine strategically, you can optimize its benefits while minimizing potential downsides.
