Ill-Effects Associated With Drinking Excessive Coffee

By Kris Hanson


A steaming cup of home prepared coffee refreshes our morning and gives a great kick to our morning. Coffee is obtained from cocoa beans-a local plant of Brazil. These beans are employed for making coffee powder that's used to make scorching beverages. Folks may consume black coffee or mix milk, milk cream and sugar in it to enhance its flavor. Caffeine-the main substance present in coffee is found in other edible things such as chocolates, bakery goods plus a few drugs too. Consequently, from the first morning ingest to all the other bakery products that we eat and vitality drinks that we take, mindlessly, we're taking in plenty of coffee which may damage our body.

The legendary quotation "One's medicine may be another's poison" is applicable in case of coffee as caffeine has both healthy as well as bad consequences of its own.

Healthy Effects:

Taking a cup of coffee each day calms down oxidizing cells that cause diabetes in humans, keeps our nervous system active, operates as diuretic and checks the development of stones in kidney and gallstone by increasing the quantity of day-to-day urine release. Not only this, the beans include healthy anti-oxidants that reduce plaque buildup in the brain, aging, stop the development of severe disorders like alcoholic cirrhosis, type 2 diabetes, liver disease as well as Parkinson's disease.

Ill-Effects:

Caffeine acts as catalyst and maintains a very high energy threshold in our body. The adverse reactions of coffee not only depend on our mental and physical health but also on the amount of caffeine that we consume. Taking 500 to 600mg of coffee everyday (that is close to 5 to 7 cups) contributes to heavy caffeine absorption which has several unfavorable effects. I have cited some of them on this page just for creating general awareness.

Physical Side-Effects:

- Restlessness, queasiness, sleeping disorders, anxiety, severe headaches, muscle tremors, stress, anxiousness, irritation and irregular heart beat are among basic side-effects.

- A few individuals are sensitive to high temperature and energy alterations triggered by coffee and experience nervousness.

- Regular consumers of caffeine are vulnerable to changes in heart beat, bp, fast heartbeats and cardiac sink. Patients of heart disorders are refrained from drinking coffee because they may encounter unusual sensations as though their heart is pounding out of their chests.

- Changes in heart rate cause stomach acids to spin. Sudden discrepancy of gastrointestinal acids manufactures acidity, ulcers and heartburns.

- According to the scholars of Brown University, since coffee serves as a moderate diuretic, it may cause intense dehydration in the body. Therefore, it is suggested that regular consumers of coffee must consume a minimum of 8oz. of water each day to balance the release of urine.

Side Effects On Females, Old People and Fetus:

- Fibrocystic breast disease in ladies is seen as development of protuberances under the sensitive skin of breast. These discreet lumps are not cancerous or unpleasant but may result in grave disorders in the future. Reported by the National Institute of Health, high caffeine ingestion may contribute to the growth of this issue.

- Long-term female drinkers of coffee, who are over 60years of age may develop osteoporotic fractures in the future.

- Expecting mums shouldn't drink more than 3cups of coffee on everyday because high caffeine intake could cause disabilities in the fetus.

- When it comes to kids, hypersensitive people and senior citizens, consuming caffeine in more than the recommended amounts can lead to compromised immunity and hypertension. Also, the black cocoa beans include unhealthy oils. When these oils are taken along with milk, sweeteners and cream, they may result in irregular rise in blood cholesterol, especially contributing to the increase of bad LDL cholesterol.

Side effects At Mental Level:

Individuals generally use caffeine stimulants or consume coffee because they induces alertness, improve mental ability and help them in exercising better focus. Nevertheless, it may also cause increased release of stress hormone. This may cause unwanted tension, agitation and insomnia. There is more to it! Caffeine has been lately characterized among the most addictive substances. If you are a regular drinker of coffee and you abruptly try to quit, you might encounter withdrawal symptoms like lethargy, fatigue, headaches and irritability for a brief time period.

Things To Consider:

By stating all these symptoms here, we don't mean to scare the readers. Our purpose is to alert caffeine addicted folks. While selecting a caffeinated product, you must examine its pack for the quantity of caffeine within it. Furthermore, you must keep check on the quantity of coffee that you drink on regular basis. It would be better if you calculate your every day caffeine consumption with the help of a caffeine calculator. It's available on most health or diet related online websites. Hence, you can easily escape the ill-effects of coffee.
