1. Appetite Suppression Directly linked to Smoking and Caffeine Intake
Recent studies have revealed that smoking and caffeine containing stimulants, are directly linked
to malnutrition. The systems of the CNS (central nervous system) and the peripheral nervous
system are directly involved in this process. Hence, the feelings of dragging when caffeine is
reduced in the body. A recent study conducted with rats, directly correlated with the recent
theory that stimulants are causing high rates of malnutrition are bringing the truly dangerous
nature of daily caffeine/stimulant intake to light. Caffeine and other stimulants suppress the
appetite.
The main physiological systems that are involved in this process are the CNS and the peripheral
nervous system, which consists of all the fibrous nerve endings in the body. The peripheral
nervous systems are responsible for all of the feelings within the body. Then within this
peripheral nervous system, lay the somatic nervous system. This is the portion of the body that is
that system that delivers all the sensations to the brain. The system is responsible for the
heightened sensations within the brain. It enables the system to deal with emergency situations,
whereby it causes the entire system to induce the stimulation necessary for the body to respond
appropriately. Thus the system causes the parasympathetic system to become activated in kind.
The systems work separately and as it refers to the recent convictions that caffeinated beverages
and smoking stimulations cause the system to crash. The amount of caffeine in the body actually
causes the body to become heightened and in a constant state of emergency preparedness. This
state over time, causes the body over time to lose the appetite. Thus, malnutrition sets in as a side
effect of smoking, and an overload of caffeine.
Once the caffeine draw is over, the body crashes. When it happens, the entire parasympathetic
system slows to a regular heart rate, and blood pressure. This produces cortisol which causes the
body to crave an abnormal amount of carbohydrate products in order to restore lost glucose. The
increase in appetite can become so overwhelming that it can cause the subject to eat abnormal
amounts of carbohydrates. This then leads to weight gain and a higher rate of obesity.
The caffeine induced stimulations cause the body to cause physiological and psychological
issues. In a recent case involving a weight loss drink with a primary ingredient Guarana; a
woman died. The extreme rate of caffeine involved in the product was directly related to her
death. Researchers found that a typical coffee is 100 to 250 mg, and a Guarana seed has an
average amount of 200 to 400mg of caffeine. The cause of death in this woman was a cardia
arrhythmia. Researchers have declared caffeine as a danger in high amounts and if taken over
time. Even research conducted with rats shows that they became obese, with inactivity because
of the loss of caffeine. Caffeine and smoking causes weight gain, arrthymia, and a myriad of
other issues. People are consistently taking this drug ad stimulant on a daily and in some cases
hourly basis. The body becomes physiologically stressed, with body odor, psychological issues,
bad breath, excessive weight gain and in severe cases death.
