I
gotta say I love my coffee in the morning. I have high blood pressure
so I have started buying the half and half coffee. I have issues with
fatigue and every once in a while will drink a 5 hour because
honestly I've drank coffee for so long I don't think it does anything
for me.
Could
we be getting in too much caffeine in a day though? Up to 400mg of
caffeine a day "appears" to be safe for most healthy
adults. That equals up to about 4 cups of coffee, 10 cans of pop or 2
energy shots.
Caffeine
in powder or liquid form can actually provide toxic levels of
caffeine. Just 1tsp of powdered caffeine = 28 cups of coffee! It can
cause serious health problems and even death!
Adolescents
and women who are pregnant should take in less than 200mg daily!
If
you drink more caffeine than you should you can suffer from
headaches, insomnia, nervousness, irritability, frequent urination,
fast heartbeat and muscle tremors. If you have any of those symptoms
you should really start to cut back on your caffeine intake.
If
you are worried you are getting too much and having medical issues
because of it contact your doctor.
