Bloggers, joggers, pregnant mom’s, PMS patients, etc etc love the topic of caffeine effects on our health. Caffeine drinkers get the cerebral cortex wake up with each cup as caffeine has some positive effects on attention, thought, language, and memory. Caffeine from all sources, not just chocolate coco, can provide antioxidant sources that are anti-aging, and anti-heart disease, liver disease, anti-Parkinsons, and anti-Alzheimer’s. Safe amount of caffeine we should consume is probably the first question I get asked when it comes up at health check up appointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The newest studies indicate that up to 5 cups a day are good, and all coffee drinkers have less chance of dying<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee has many bioactive compounds, some of which are more beneficial and some of which are potentially harmful. A new study from Korea shos that daily coffee intake has beneficial kidney effects! Contradicting much advice we have been given. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The effects \nof caffeine cannot be sorted out without looking at how you are getting \nthe caffeine: coffee, tea, herbal drinks, or coco.   The Institute of Medicine and the FDDA are looking into the levels<\/a>\n of caffeine in drinks, especially those with the highest caffeine \ncontent. The amount of caffeine effect will always be affected by how \nmuch you normally consume, whether you are a child or an adolescent, or a\n senior,and whether you are pregnant. Women as a general rule seem to metabolize caffeine about 25% faster than men do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diabetes protection and weight reduction has been reported with using coffee in your diet.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although excessive coffee consumption can increase blood pressure and premature beats of your heart ventricle, it is also known to prevent heart disease by having protective effects against heart failure, coronary heart disease, and premature beats of the artial chambers of the heart!\u00a0 And oddly, long term coffee consumption lowers blood pressure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\n hormones you are taking, such as the pill, may affect how quickly you \nmetabolize your caffeine as well, with some study saying that the pill \ncan slow caffeine metabolism and prolong the effects. Women don’t really\n get ‘addicted’ to caffeine, but it can be a powerful \nhabit, especially if you are consuming a lot. The sometimes jittery \nfeeling has more to do with excessive adrenal response, not the focused \nbrain response, that actually can make someone feel more anxious than \nfocused. The adrenal surge produced by caffeine can also continue to \nstimulate adrenal release into the night and block the physiologic \nadenosine release which normally restricts adrenaline release so you can\n get a good night sleep.So some consultation with your \nhealth care provider is sensible, as is moderation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oddly,\n or not so odd to big caffeine aficionados, one \nstudy shows that coco consumption in seniors may decrease risks of free \nradical damage in our body thus preventing premature again and even \nproviding some cancer protection. But back to the question of today, \nshould you reach for that second cup? Well, total dosage most gynos \nwould recommend is about 100 mg per day. so a big mug of coffee might \nhave already contained 120 mg of caffeine, unless you were drinking \ninstant, which is typically less caffeinated! So, probably not. Perhaps \ntomorrow start with a 75 mg mug of tea, and maybe you will get a small \nsecond!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
