    Caffeine Misuse

    Today, we're tackling a growing concern: the misuse of caffeine and the booming popularity of energy drinks. Join us as we unpack the latest trends in caffeine consumption, from the skyrocketing sales of energy drinks to the ritualistic coffee culture that defines many societies. We’ll explore the fascinating science behind caffeine’s effects on the body and mind, from its role in boosting alertness to its potential downsides when consumed in excess. But it’s not all about the science - we’ll also discuss the real-world impacts on health, including the risks associated with overconsumption and addiction. How do we recognize when caffeine becomes a problem rather than a perk? And more importantly, how can healthcare professionals like you engage patients in meaningful conversations about moderation and healthy choices?
