The Effects of Coffee


The effects of coffee and the caffeine jolt can temporarily boost alertness, increase performance and may even improve concentration.

Some people feel the “buzz” or the effects of coffee (caffeine) more than others. You should listen to your body and know when to say no to that extra cup of coffee. Just because your friend says he can drink all the coffee he wants and never feel the effects of coffee, doesn’t mean that the effect of coffee and caffeine will be the same for you.

Most research seems to suggest that drinking one to three cups of coffee a day will not cause you to feel any negative effects of coffee, at least in healthy people. However, pregnant women, children and people with heart disease are among those who should not drink coffee, as the effect of coffee and caffeine could have adverse effects.

One should be aware that the caffeine content of coffee varies widely depending on roasting and brewing methods as well as how much coffee you are drinking. This can produce a wide range of the effects of coffee.

Coffee is the main source of caffeine for many people and the effects of coffee and caffeine can be increased if one drinks other sources of caffeine such as sodas, tea, and chocolate.

If you are a regular coffee drinker and you skip your daily java fix, you may experience temporary “caffeine withdrawal” which could result in the form of a headache. These symptoms of the effects of coffee normally go away within 24-48 hours after another dose of coffee with caffeine.
