Drinking caffeine increases circulating stress hormones in the body. Performing aerobic activity, such as swimming, cycling or running, helps your body to ‘burn off’ hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline, while also aiding the release of mood-supporting endorphins.

Eat something nourishing

Protein, fats and fibre help to slow down absorption from the stomach, regulate blood sugar and support even energy. While it’s best to eat before or at the same time as consuming caffeine, reaching for a healthy snack can reduce the jitters once you’ve already had your drink – and the likelihood of the on-coming energy crash.

Stay hydrated

However, dehydration can also foster anxiety and low mood, worsening the negative impacts of caffeine, so drinking plenty of water can both support overall wellbeing while also helping to flush the caffeine from your body faster.
