Caffeine: Finding the Right Balance
Caffeine is something many adults and teens rely on to get through their day. Whether it’s a cup of coffee in the morning or a new, enticing flavor of an energy drink, it can be easy to overconsume without realizing it. However, some sources of caffeine are healthier than others.
Caffeine is a type of drug known as a stimulant. This means it increases activity in the brain by stimulating neurotransmitters, which can lead to higher energy levels and improved focus. According to the Cleveland Clinic, a healthy daily intake of caffeine for most adults is between 0 and 400 milligrams. While caffeine is generally considered safe in moderation, consuming too much can quickly lead to negative effects.

Nutrition Hack: Add Before You Subtract!
Instead of thinking about what you need to cut out, look for something nutritious you can add. Toss vegetables into pasta, add berries to breakfast, or include beans in a favorite dish. Small additions can help increase fiber, vitamins, and minerals without completely changing your meal.
