stingbreed: Coffee wakes you up in the morning and keeps you alert throughout the day, but how does its magic ingredient actually work?
The first thing to know is that part of your natural tiredness comes from a molecule called adenosine, which is produced by your body while it chugs along through the day. "While you sleep, the concentration of adenosine declines, gradually promoting wakefulness. Meanwhile, the more adenosine that builds up, the sleepier you feel.

Your morning coffee is able to hijack that process because caffeine looks a lot like adenosine to your brain cells:

Because of its similar shape, caffeine can bind to the adenosine receptors in your brain. Once the caffeine is locked into adenosine's rightful spot though, there is no way for the adenosine to stick around — which prevents it from building up and making you sleepy.

Without the molecule that usually induces exhaustion, "our natural stimulants run wild," Joseph Stromberg writes in Smithsonian. The result? You feel wide awake — at least for a while.

But all good things must come to an end, and your brain quickly wises up to your tricks.

When the adenosine is continually blocked from binding to its receptors, your body eventually creates more receptors — which means you need even more caffeine to plug them up. This can make kicking your coffee habit increasingly difficult, and make you need more and more caffeine to stay alert.

"When you try to quit drinking coffee or miss your daily intake, you might experience some withdrawal symptoms and feel more tired than you would have before you ever drank coffee."

But caffeine does more than just block adenosine. It can also pump up your levels of adrenaline and boost your mood — "the exact same thing cocaine does, just to a lesser degree,"

.
This means that coffee is a younger brother to hard drugs.

dare2think: I had a discussion with my friends here in the UK. I said if this Fraudster called Oyedepo had slapped my family member in the UK. I would slap him anywhere I see him and make sure somebody put it on youtube. He may be invincible in Nigeria, but in the UK he is just a mere man and would be treated as such. Nigeria's atmosphere allows his bullying nature

You will live to beg him for this statement.

Nobleval: what are you trying to prove? Did you realize that your pastor abused a young girl?

You dont judge judge spiritual things like that. When a herbalist does things, you people are afraid of speaking against him but when a pastor takes a step, you start criticizing him just because you know that they are harmless. No problem.

Could this be learning through experience. As they say that experience is the best teacher.
