Many people are used to starting their day with a cup of coffee. Many people continue the day with this drink.
But don't overdo it. Excessive caffeine consumption can cause serious health problems.
By the way, one cup of coffee contains about 100 milligrams, while the safe limit is considered to be 400 mg.
This means that you can drink about 4 cups of coffee during the day without any harm to yourself.
However, the caffeine dose should not exceed 200 milligrams at one time.
This is in a normal situation. If certain signs appear that indicate obvious problems in the body, you should say "no" to coffee.
At the very least, as experts advise, you should at least give up the drink for a while.
What are these signs? Very obvious.
Heartburn
Caffeine relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing stomach acid to enter the esophagus.
Sleep problems
There is either damned insomnia, or anxiety at night that prevents you from falling asleep, or constant awakenings for no reason.
To avoid this, experts recommend stopping drinking coffee 6 hours before bed.
Withdrawal syndrome
In simple terms, it is an addiction. In our case, to coffee.
It manifests itself in the fact that at some point you began to understand that you cannot do without coffee, things are not going well, your mood is not right, and so on.
Know: you have developed an addiction. Get rid of it gradually: each time reduce the dose of caffeine - until the habit disappears.
Extra kilos
Yes, coffee makes you feel full, which can lead to you not wanting to eat for a while.
But when this feeling disappears, hunger will strike with double force, which is fraught with overeating and rapid weight gain.
