TRIBUN-MEDAN.COM – Caffeine is a stimulant substance found in many foods, beverages, and other products.
By consuming caffeine, usually a person can stay awake and alert.
According to Mayo Clinic, The recommended amount of caffeine is 400 milligrams per day for healthy adults.
Caffeine overdose can also occur if you consume more than this amount.
For teens, caffeine consumption should be limited to no more than 100 mg of caffeine per day.
Pregnant women should also limit their caffeine intake to less than 200 mg of caffeine per day because the effects of caffeine on babies are not fully known.
Keep in mind that the safe limits for caffeine consumption can vary from person to person, depending on age, weight, and overall health.
Causes of caffeine overdose
A caffeine overdose occurs when a person consumes too much caffeine through drinks, food, or drugs.
However, some people can take well above the daily recommended amount without problems.
This is not recommended because high doses of caffeine can cause health problems, such as irregular heartbeat and seizures.
