Caffeine can impact your overall well-being. Here are five mistakes to avoid while quitting caffeine.

Quitting Cold Turkey

Quitting caffeine suddenly works not for all. It can lead to symptoms like headaches, irritability, and extreme fatigue. Instead of leaving caffeine abruptly, gradually decrease your caffeine intake.

Not Being Mindful of Withdrawal Symptoms

Caffeine withdrawal can lead to mood swings, drowsiness, headaches, and difficulty concentrating.

Overlooking Hidden Caffeine Sources

Just cutting down on tea and coffee won't help you in this journey. You need to identify hidden sources of caffeine like chocolates, certain medications, or even soft drinks that can contain caffeine.

Not Hydrating Yourself

Caffeine is a diuretic and quitting it can change your hydration levels. Staying well-hydrated can help reduce headaches and fatigue.

Not Changing Your Lifestyle

Focus on improving your overall lifestyle. Make sure you are getting enough sleep and indulging in regular exercise.
