Warning to fans of coffee, to restrict intake in order not to negatively affect the health. The warning is given, considering that many of them do not pay much attention to the intake of caffeine into the body. If not stopped consuming excessive caffeine, get ready for it with health problems later in life.
European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) said that consumption of more than five espresso a day can damage health. Heart problems, insomnia, and panic attacks, all of which is associated with excessive caffeine consumption. Unfortunately, as mentioned EFSA, many people consume more caffeine than the safe level, because they are not aware of the different sources of caffeine.
Caffeine is often a buffer, for many people to get through the days. Those who would exercise also not a few who consume caffeine, to help burn more calories during exercise took place.

Coffee became one of the sources of caffeine are pretty much consumed. However, in addition to coffee there are a number of other sources of caffeine such as tea, energy drinks, soft drinks, and chocolate also contains caffeine.
This means, if you eat a bar of dark chocolate before lunch, then sipping espresso after lunch, afternoon tea, and the consumption of energy drinks in the evening, then intake of caffeine into the body is already quite a lot throughout the day.
For comparison, one cup of filter coffee contains 90 mg of caffeine, energy drinks standard 80 mg, 80 mg of caffeine espresso, a cup of tea 50 mg and one dark chocolate bar, about 25 mg of caffeine. According to EFSA, and in line with the suggestions in many countries, caffeine intake of 400 mg (equivalent to 2 cups of coffee) per day for adults is still okay. However, many people consume too much caffeine.
In Denmark, for example, about one-third of people consuming more than 400 mg. While in the Netherlands, 17 percent and 14 percent of people in Germany consume caffeine more than the recommended limits. It certainly makes health problems such as increased heart rate, higher blood pressure, heart palpitations, tremors, nervousness, and insomnia, so increased.
Therefore, the maximum amount of caffeine intake recommendation is up to 6 mg per kg of body weight. Roughly about 400 mg per day for women weighing about 68 kg.
Another suggestion, to always consume water as the main beverage choices and prevent dehydration that may occur, given the caffeine is a natural diuretic. Then, caffeine consumption should be stopped at least 6 hours before bedtime to prevent sleep disturbances.
Equally important is always 'listen' to your body. If you rely on caffeine as an energy booster for tired, you should look for the root causes of the causes of fatigue. It could be due to lack of sleep, excessive exercise, or lack of food intake. When the cause is known, you will not depend on the caffeine.
