Coffee is one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world and is also a
major source of caffeine for most populations. Caffeine can be obtained from
drinks such as coffee, tea, soft drinks or energy drinks. Caffeine in drinks,
especially coffee, is used to improve cognitive function and improve bad mood .
However, caffeine is a substance that can stimulate the central nervous system. If
consumed in large amounts, caffeine can cause certain dangers or health
problems.
Impact of Consuming Too Much Caffeine
Most adults do not feel the effects of poisoning if the amount of caffeine
consumed is less than 250 mg (about 2.5 cups of coffee) per day.
You can feel the impact if you consume more than the recommended limit,
namely 400 mg per day. Caffeine has properties that can increase blood pressure
and heart rate.
Consuming too much caffeine can cause feelings of restlessness and worry. If you
consume more, you might become irritable, lose sleep, feel anxious for no reason,
and cause diarrhea .
To find out more about the dangers of consuming too much caffeine, here is the
review.
1. Anxious
If consumed in the right amount, caffeine can make a person more alert. However,
if consumed in excessive amounts, caffeine can cause nervousness and anxiety.
Anxiety that arises from caffeine consumption is still related to certain
syndromes. This anxiety syndrome has also been included in the Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).
Caffeine intake that exceeds the recommended limit or more than 1000 mg per
day has been reported to cause anxiety and nervousness.
2. Insomnia
Many people deliberately drink coffee to get rid of sleepiness. On the other hand,
consuming too much caffeine can make you have trouble sleeping or have
insomnia .
A study conducted research on 12 healthy adults who were divided into three
groups and given 400 mg of caffeine. Each group was given caffeine six hours
before bed, three hours before bed, and just before bed.
As a result, the time spent by participants to fall asleep became longer or
increased significantly.
3. Digestive Disorders
Caffeine can stimulate bowel movements by increasing peristalsis. Therefore,
consuming large doses of caffeine can cause the urge to defecate or diarrhea in
some people.
4. Muscle Damage
Rhabdomyolysis is a condition when damaged muscle fibers enter the
bloodstream and cause kidney health problems. Although it rarely occurs, there
are several reports that state rhabdomyolysis is closely related to the effects of
excessive caffeine consumption
5. Addiction
The danger of most other caffeine is that it causes psychological or physical
dependence. It's possible that you will become addicted and feel like something is
missing if you don't consume caffeinated drinks a day.
In fact, a study shows that caffeine works similarly to cocaine and
amphetamines. However, caffeine will not cause addiction like these two
substances.
6. High Blood Pressure
According to several studies, caffeine has been proven to increase blood
pressure. Because caffeine has a stimulating or stimulating effect on the nervous
system.
The effect of caffeine on blood pressure is temporary. However, this effect on
blood pressure can be stronger in people who are not used to consuming coffee or
other caffeinated drinks.
7. Heart Palpitations
Another danger of caffeine is that it causes the heart to beat or beat faster. When
the heart beats rapidly, the rhythm of the heartbeat can change and this condition
is known as atrial fibrillation.
The condition of atrial fibrillation is reported to often occur in young people who
consume high doses of caffeine.
8. Fatigue
Coffee or other caffeinated drinks have been proven to increase energy. However,
caffeine can have the opposite effect, namely causing fatigue after its properties
disappear from your body.
9. Frequent urination
Caffeine can cause a person to urinate more often. This side effect often occurs
when you consume a high caffeine intake. The reason is that caffeine is a diuretic,
which means it increases and accelerates the formation of urine.
So, if you drink too many caffeinated drinks, you may urinate frequently and risk
becoming dehydrated.
Apart from drinks such as coffee or tea, you should also be wary of pills or
powders containing caffeine which are claimed to increase energy. This product
causes the body to receive too much caffeine in a short time and is definitely
dangerous for health.
