Caffeine stimulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, leading to increased cortisol secretion. Chronic elevation of cortisol can lead to:

• Disrupted sleep patterns: Elevated cortisol levels can interfere with the body's natural sleep-wake cycle. Typically, cortisol levels decline in the evening to promote relaxation and readiness for sleep. However, if caffeine consumption occurs too close to bedtime, this decline is inhibited, potentially leading to difficulties in falling asleep and the reduction in sleep quality.

   

• Decreased cognitive function: While moderate caffeine intake can enhance alertness and concentration, high levels of cortisol can have the opposite effect. Chronic high cortisol may impair memory and learning by affecting the brain's hippocampus. Over time, this can lead to decreased cognitive function.

   

• Fatigue and decreased alertness: Initially, caffeine may block the neurotransmitter adenosine, increasing alertness. However, as the effects of caffeine diminish, the body may experience a rebound effect characterized by increased fatigue and decreased alertness. This is often referred to as a "crash" following the temporary boost provided by caffeine.

The body's attempt to counteract persistently high cortisol levels can result in a "burnout" effect, where the initial stimulation gives way to exhaustion.

📽️ Workout Tips:

1. Tri-set Circuit Training for Endurance and Strength

    

   

    

   Enhance your workout efficiency with tri-set circuits, which involve performing three different exercises back-to-back with no rest in between.

    

   Choose one exercise for each major muscle group, for example, a leg exercise (squats), a push exercise (push-ups), and a pull exercise (rows).

    

   This method helps improve muscular endurance, reduces workout time, and increases calorie burn by keeping your heart rate elevated throughout the session.

    

2. Functional Range Conditioning for Mobility

    

   

    

   Implement Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) into your routine to increase joint health and mobility.

    

   FRC uses controlled articular rotations, which are slow and deliberate movements at the outer limits of your joint capacity.

    

   This practice not only improves your range of motion but also helps to reduce injury by increasing the strength and flexibility of your joints.

   A study examined over 5,800 U.S. adults.

    

   Researchers measured their Leukocyte Telomere Length (LTL), which is a fancy way of saying they checked how fast their cells were aging and how physically active they were.

    

   They found that people who ran for 30 or 40 minutes 5 days a week slowed their cellular aging by nine years compared to others who lived a sedentary lifestyle.
