"I've seen too many people rely on caffeine to get their energy fix," Cherniske says. "It's not a sustainable solution in the long run, and it can have serious negative consequences for your health."
Certain foods, herbs, and nutrients can provide a natural energy boost without the negative side effects of caffeine. Some options include:
"It's all about finding the right balance," Cherniske advises. "While it's okay to have a cup of coffee or tea every day, it's not necessary to rely on them as your sole source of energy."
