QSAC HEALTH TIP

CAFFEINE
Special from Bottom Line/Health

Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant that causes the adrenal glands to produce more cortisol -- a “stress” hormone that constricts blood vessels and raises blood pressure.

Recommendation: Limit coffee to a cup or two a day (or one or two soft drinks with caffeine daily). However, many people find it difficult to cut back. It may be easier in the long run just to give up caffeine altogether.



IMPORTANT FSA/Health Care Initiative REMINDER
To access your Health/FSA monies, you need to submit a paper claim form with full receipts to the smart flex card company (BAI).  For those who also use the card for transit expenses i.e. Metro cards, LIRR, etc. the Smart Flex card will still work for transit expenses only.    Claims forms are available at qsac.com or by calling Susan at 973-661-2424.
