Subject: Caffeine: How much is too much?
The amount of caffeine in four cups of coffee, about 400 mg is considered a safe daily intake for an adult. That is also equivalent to 10 cans of cola or 2 energy shot drinks. Caffeine should be avoided in children and adolescents. Signs of too much caffeine intake include Migraines, fast heart beat, irritability and tremors. You may take too much caffeine to offset not sleeping enough or because you might take supplements that cause hyper alertness. Cutting back on caffeine can be safe if done gradually while monitoring all your intake to avoid overdoing it.
Key Takeaways:
- Caffeine is used daily by millions of people to increase wakefulness, alleviate fatigue, and improve concentration and focus.
- Although caffeine use may be safe for adults, it's not a good idea for children. Adolescents should limit caffeine consumption.
- How you react to caffeine may be determined in part by how much caffeine you're used to drinking.
"Although caffeine use may be safe for adults, it's not a good idea for children."
