What Happens to Your Body When You Stop Drinking Coffee? (Number 3 Left Us Speechless)

When was the last time you slept really well, didn’t need medical treatment to remove brown stains from your teeth, didn’t have constant headaches and dizziness, and didn’t suffer from high blood pressure?

If you shook your head no, while admitting the answer to these questions is 'a long time ago,' then you might be among the group of people who need to start cutting down on the endless amounts of coffee you consume daily.

What exactly happens to your body if you indeed abstain from coffee? Here are some facts that will surely please you to know:

Sleep Miraculously Improves

It’s no secret that caffeine is a stimulant. The first thing that happens to your body when you stop drinking coffee is you’ll return to sleeping normally, through a whole night—peaceful sleep without stress. Sound far-fetched? One of the things that caffeine does to our bodies is excessively stimulate the adrenal gland, leading to a night full of stress.

Significant Improvement in Digestion

As mentioned, the more coffee we consume, the more our body produces stress hormones, which can make us feel tired, stressed, and under increased pressure.

Coffee also significantly delays the absorption of essential nutrients and minerals in the body. Not absorbing vitamins and minerals can lead to a variety of digestive issues—from stomach pains to diarrhea or constipation.

End to Chronic Headaches

Do you suffer from frequent headaches? You’ll be surprised to find out that caffeine affects blood pressure, as it causes blood vessels to become narrower. When you drink coffee, caffeine constricts the blood vessels, and when you stop, they return to a normal size. These changes in size are what cause headaches, which is why many heavy coffee drinkers (more than one cup a day) often complain of headaches.

High Blood Pressure

Many people who consume more than one cup of coffee a day report high blood pressure caused by the narrowing and widening of blood vessels mentioned earlier.

End of Visits to the Dentist

If you are used to drinking black coffee, tea, instant coffee, Coca-Cola, or even green tea that contains caffeine, you should know that, apart from different shades of brown-black stains on the teeth, caffeine can cause additional oral health problems such as increased dryness, tooth cavities, and more. If you stop consuming it, you will soon find that you no longer need frequent visits to the dentist.

Hormonal Issues? The Writing is on the Wall

Research shows that consuming too much caffeine daily causes women’s bodies to become hormonally imbalanced—another reason to stop excessive consumption if we want to become pregnant, for example.
