Caffeine In Coffee
By Jennifer Bowers
Coffee is a popular beverage, with a number of gourmet varieties
available these days. However, coffee contains caffeine, and too
much caffeine can have a negative impact on your health. There
is the option of decaffeinated coffee for those who like their
coffee without caffeine.
On your way to work, you can see coffee shops open all morning,
selling workers their one or two cups of coffee, to get that feeling
of more energy and alertness. But, drinking too much caffeine,
could make you feel a decrease in energy by the middle of the
day.
Many people can drink two to four cups of coffee a day (which
is about 200 to 300 mg) without any problems. The effect of caffeine
is to stimulate the central nervous system, getting rid of fatigue,
but after the drug has run its course, it may be that you begin
to feel weak and irritable by early afternoon.
The Consequences Of Drinking Too Much Coffee
This is usually the time your body has finished or nearly finished
digesting the food and drink from your breakfast. Drinking more
than four cups of coffee per day, means you are getting too much
caffeine in your system. You can work around this by reducing
your number of cups of coffee to one cup in the morning and one
cup in the afternoon.
Too much caffeine can result in feelings of extreme fatigue,
nervousness and trouble falling asleep. Some people have gastrointestinal
problems including nausea and difficulty digesting food.
Headaches, Stomach And Skin Problems
Coffee has a significant amount of acid in it and may damage
the stomach lining for some people, and cause dry skin. Headaches
can also be a problem. Some people eating chocolate on a daily
basis also suffer headaches.
This is mainly a result of not having sufficient moisture in
the body, and the nervous system is affected by this lack of balance.
Some coffee drinkers also suffer more anxiety than usual when
they drink coffee in large quantities, or when they try to reduce
the amount of coffee they drink.
A better way is to review your options and reduce the amount
of caffeine by alternating with a cup of green tea. Green tea
is loaded with antioxidants, which is perfect for your skin and
internal organs, and does not have as much caffeine as coffee.
To maintain your moisture balance, you should drink plenty of
water during the day.
