Caffeine is a stimulant and it does affect the central nervous system. In as little as fifteen minute’s the caffeine enters the blood stream and gives you an effect as awake in your body. Caffeine has also been known to increase the human body’s mental alertness and it’s cognitive functioning, as well as enhancing the human body’s physical performance by improving endurance and reaction time your human body has. So how does it work? Caffeine is able to mimic something known as a neurochemical in the human brain called adenosine, which is produced by the neurons throughout the entire day. Your nervous system monitors adenosine levels and as it increases, your body starts to slow down, preparing your body for the evening in which you need to sleep.
Caffeine latches onto the brain’s receptors for adenosine and pushes them out of the way – with the result that we are felling more alert and awake.
So is it possible to overdose on caffeine? Before you laugh that off. Well it is actually possible to overdose on caffeine, and symptoms include confusion and hallucinations as well. According to a caffeine calculator designed by Caffeine Informer, if you weigh 60 kg, you should have a maximum of 2,2 cups of coffee a day (based on a 236 ml serving).
Consume 55.4 cups and you can overdose and die! So, the good news is you probably won’t die from drinking too much coffee – but beware of energy drinks that contain high concentrations of caffeine and are easier to chug down in quick succession. It is very unhealthy.
The Mayo Clinic recommends about 400 mg of caffeine per day for healthy adults. So like everything in life, moderation is key to maintaining health.
If you’re not used to drinking coffee, you are also at risk of some side effects such as feeling shaky. If you suffer from an anxiety or sleep disorder, it’s probably a good idea to steer clear of caffeine and do not use it.
Can I suffer from withdrawal symptoms?
Yes! Because caffeine is a stimulant it will affect your body negatively if you suddenly stop consuming it. You can expect to feel anxious, irritable and drowsy. The good news is that the side effects are temporary.
"Kama ilivyoelezwa katika makala ya ""Kufanya kazi kwa njia ya afya"" ya Christopher Michael Cooper, ""Kufanya kazi kwa njia ya afya"" ni moja ya njia za afya za afya za afya za afya za afya za afya za afya za afya za afya za afya za afya za afya za afya." Katika muda wa dakika kumi na tano tu kafeini huingia katika mtiririko wa damu na kukupa athari kama ya kuamka katika mwili wako. Caffeine pia inajulikana kuongeza mwili wa binadamu wa akili na utendaji wake wa utambuzi, pamoja na kuongeza utendaji wa mwili wa binadamu kwa kuboresha uvumilivu na wakati wa athari mwili wako una. Kwa hiyo inafanyaje kazi? Caffeine ni kemikali ya neurokemikali inayoitwa adenosine ambayo hutengenezwa na neuroni za ubongo. Mfumo wa neva hufuatilia viwango vya adenosine na wakati inapoongezeka, mwili huanza kupunguza kasi, kuandaa mwili wako kwa jioni ambayo unahitaji kulala. Caffeine huunganisha na vipokezi vya adenosini katika ubongo na kuviondoa - na matokeo yake ni kwamba tunahisi kuwa macho zaidi na macho. Je, inawezekana kuwa na kiwango cha juu cha kafeini? Kabla ya kucheka kwamba mbali. Kwa kweli, kuna uwezekano wa overdosing juu ya caffeine, na dalili ni pamoja na kuchanganyikiwa na hallucinations pia. Kulingana na Calculator ya Caffeine iliyoundwa na Caffeine Informer, ikiwa una uzito wa kilo 60, unapaswa kuwa na kikombe cha juu cha kikombe cha kahawa kwa siku (kwa msingi wa 236 ml). Ikiwa unakunywa vikombe 55.4 unaweza kupata overdose na kufa! Kwa hiyo, habari njema ni kwamba labda hutafa kwa kunywa kahawa nyingi mno lakini uwe mwangalifu na vinywaji vya nishati ambavyo vina viwango vya juu vya kafeini na ni rahisi kunywa kwa mfululizo wa haraka. Ni jambo lisilo na afya. Kliniki ya Mayo inapendekeza watu wazima wenye afya wawe na kiasi cha caffeine cha karibu miligram 400 kwa siku. Kama ilivyo na kila kitu katika maisha, kiasi ni muhimu kwa afya. Kama wewe si kutumika kwa kunywa kahawa, wewe pia ni katika hatari ya baadhi ya athari za upande kama vile hisia ya kutetemeka. Ikiwa unateseka kutokana na wasiwasi au matatizo ya usingizi, labda ni wazo zuri kuepuka caffeine na usitumie. Je, ninaweza kuwa na dalili za kukoma kunywa? Ndio! Caffeine ni kichocheo na inaweza kuathiri mwili wako vibaya ikiwa unaacha kwa ghafla. Unaweza kutarajia kuhisi wasiwasi, kukasirika na usingizi. Habari njema ni kwamba athari za upande ni za muda tu.
