I need a reality check here....

[Guest guest]

I don't know if this is just a product of the state I live in or if there is

some substance to this. I went in for my rehab today and they informed me that

I had a short period at my last exercise workout where my heart rate jumped to

145. They have informed my pulmo dude and said I may have to give up coffee

(everyone in Utah seems to want you to give up your coffee). I don't drink

coffee before my workouts, I save it for after. I was raised in Minnesota where

you cannot go to a friend's home without a pot of coffee being brewed. I have

had every doctor in Utah tell me I should quit drinking coffee because it isn't

good for me. I really hate it when other belief systems are put upon me and I

would have a very difficult time giving up my 2 cup a day habit. I don't think

16 oz. is too much. I could understand having a " pot on the stove " all day and

having one cup after another might not be harmful, but really folks... 16 oz a

day (some days it is only 8 oz). Any one care to shed some light on the

caffeine/coffee subject?
