Caffeine; Are You Drinking too Much?




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.
