Adenosine affects your

brain

by attaching to neuronal receptors. When you do this, you feel sleepy, but caffeine molecules can attach to the exact same receptors as adenosine, by doing so it takes the place of adenosine and therefore blocks adenosine from activating those receptors, such as standing up. on the wrong side of an elevator in a subway station, causing a pile-up of angry businesspeople behind you, the only difference is that caffeine doesn't cause you to get your head smashed in with a briefcase most of the time. So, by the time caffeine fills your brain to make you feel awake and alert at least for a while, the problem is that even though the adenosine is blocked, it never actually goes away, while the caffeine remains in your brain. receptors for several hours blocking adenosine as an unwanted fatty adenosine is still released en masse into the bloodstream, increasing in volume but unable to attach and affect your brain.

Caffeine has a half-life of about six hours, so after about six hours after ingestion, your body begins to break down fat. caffeine releasing your brain receptors again when this happens, the tidal wave of built up adenosine suddenly floods the newly unlocked cell receptors in your brain like a torrent of drowsiness, this causes you to crash after feeling awake only moments before, your energy levels will drop suddenly plummeted. Falling into a deep hole of lethargy, this is colloquially known as a caffeine crash and this is why drinking caffeine to keep you awake behind the wheel of a car late at night can be deadly when the caffeine crash inevitably hits, But what if before the caffeine crash hits? like an unwanted train of disappointment, you would drink more coffee to top up and renew the caffeine levels in your system, like before the new caffeine rushed to your cell receptors and occupied them, thus blocking adenosine for longer and prolonging your feigned state of wakefulness and alertness and what would happen if you repeatedly took more caffeine to sleep or sleep indefinitely well?

The problem here is that eventually adenosine will build up to such overwhelming levels that your caffeine consumption will no longer be able to stop it from activating all the receptors. into your brain and like a drowsiness-breaking tax will flood your brain, but your massive caffeine consumption will likely have started a cycle of dependency where your body constantly needs more caffeine to hold off some unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Repeat this cycle of dependency enough and congratulations, you're addicted. to caffeine the day after this caffeine feast, you will wake up from your sleep abruptly with a headache, dizziness with low energy and generally be in a bad mood, you will also feel very tired because even though you slept, you didn't .
Really sleep, let me explain, we all know that caffeine can prevent us from falling asleep if we drink it too close to bedtime. In fact, one study found that even when you drink a large coffee in the afternoon, it can cause you to waste an hour. of sleep that night, but when you finally fall asleep, if there is still caffeine in your system, the quality of your sleep will be abysmal; In fact, if you drink enough caffeine before bed, you may not have slept at all if you consume less caffeine. More than six hours before bedtime, it will continue to circulate through your system during sleep.
This reduces the amount of deep sleep you will receive, which is the stage of sleep during which your body repairs muscles, increases your immune function, and increases your energy levels for the next day. all the really important stuff, so a cup of coffee the night before will make you groggy the next morning long after you've woken up and long after you've drank the coffee, now we all throw coffee like it's tears of Jesus , but other than keeping you awake at night, what is it really doing to your body? Can it kill you? Within 15 minutes of drinking a double cappuccino or flat white that contains around 130 milligrams of caffeine, your heart rate will increase rapidly and your stress will increase due to the caffeine. stimulates adrenaline production this can make you feel anxious or nervous in some people who are very susceptible to caffeine causes heart palpitations insomnia headaches and hallucinations but if you drank enough coffee you would die fine sorry to disappoint all the thrill-seeking masochists out there , but not really, a healthy adult male with no pre-existing conditions will need only 10 grams of caffeine to kill them, although what constitutes a lethal dose depends on the individual.
The highest known caffeine overdose survived was as a 39-year-old man. One woman attempted suicide by taking a staggering 100 grams of caffeine pills, but the caffeine is so diluted in the coffee beans, and therefore the liquid coffee, that you would need to drink around 158 shots of espresso before getting down on one knee. . The problem is even when you just drink. espressos continuously the human stomach can't hold that much liquid, eventually you will have to slow down or just stop drinking them and that will give your liver enough time to break down some of the caffeine in your system and thus save your life.
In life it would technically be possible to die from a caffeine overdose drinking black coffee, but it would be very difficult and some people just wouldn't be able to do it, especially if you're the kind of person who bloats halfway through a pint. People with serious pre-existing heart conditions would have to drink much less coffee to die and could go into cardiac arrest or fall into a coma after just a couple of cappuccinos, but even for people who are unaware of any heart disease, caffeine can and kills quite often, it's not actually coffee that's the enemy, however, it is when caffeine comes in other forms, specifically energy drinks and pills, as 16-year-old David Alan Cripe sadly discovered after drinking a latte, an energy drink and a Mountain Dew in a short space of time.
Once too much caffeine caused a cardiac arrhythmia and he dropped dead at school. Cases like these are rare, but they almost always occur as a result of drinking energy drinks or taking caffeine pills and not just from drinking coffee. In 2014, 1,700 people died in the US. As a result of consuming energy drinks, a single energy drink can have more than twice the caffeine content of a cup of coffee. To make matters worse, one study found that most major brands of energy drinks contain much more caffeine content than advertised on the label. Additionally, caffeine powder or caffeine pills are even more dangerous.
One teaspoon of caffeine powder is equivalent to 26 cups of coffee. If you already worry about the

effects

of too much caffeine, you may be one of those incredibly cool people who orders decaffeinated coffee. Well, I have it. bad news for you, decaffeination does not exist, there are several methods to decaffeinate coffee on an industrial scale, but none of them are capable of eliminating one hundred percent of the caffeine in the bee. A cup of decaffeinated coffee still contains between two and fourteen milligrams of caffeine, yes. You drink decaf, you're either a abstainer or you're extremely sensitive to caffeine and the slightest amount makes you hallucinate that your hands have turned into lobster claws.
If so, then it's fair because it sounds pretty scary, but what? If you're the opposite of caffeine sensitivity, what if you could have superhuman power? Caffeine would have little to no effect on you. Well, maybe you already have it. Are you the kind of person who can drink five cups of coffee in a couple of hours? and you hardly feel the

effects

, can you drink coffee right before bed and fall asleep without problems? Well, you may have a unique variant of a gene. Human DNA has a gene for almost everything. How tall you will be, if you like seafood and If you unfortunately have a mushroom-shaped nose, but scientists have recently discovered that there is a specific gene that determines how your body will react to caffeine, it is called cyp1a2, you will remember that you have a fast or slow version.
This gene, those with the fast version have a different enzyme to break down caffeine that is more efficient and can metabolize caffeine four times faster than those with the slow version. This essentially means that fast metabolizers can drink four cups of coffee and feel pretty much the same. such as someone with the slow variant who only consumed one cup, but which variant of the gene they have will also determine whether drinking coffee is good or bad for their health when a group of 2,000 adults who had previously suffered a heart attack participated in a study it was reached Shocking conclusion: Drinking four or more cups of coffee per day was found to increase an individual's risk of having a heart attack by 36 percent, but only if they have the slow variant of cyp1a2 Drinking four or more cups per day turned out There is no increased risk of heart disease for those with the fast variant of the gene, but if you are really concerned about how much caffeine you consume, the jury is still out on that, but all studies point to quantity being the deciding factor more than four cups. of coffee a day has been linked to some harmful health effects and could possibly be carcinogenic, but if you consume less than four cups a day there is strong evidence to suggest that coffee can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, according to a study conducted at Harvard showed that decaffeinated drinkers alone reduce their risk of diabetes by about 60 percent of the risk reduction enjoyed by full-caffeine consumers, thus indicating that it is the caffeine, specifically in coffee, that plays a role. an important role in the health benefits of the drink.
Coffee has also been linked to lower rates of depression, Alzheimer's heart disease, and even certain types of cancer, also in ways you may have never thought of before. By abstaining from drinking coffee, you could actually be harming your health, unless you are extremely sensitive to caffeine Drinking coffee or its caffeine-containing sister tea throughout the day keeps you hydrated The misconception that coffee dehydrates you is a Misconception, it's simply not true Coffee is a diuretic, meaning it promotes greater loss of fluid from your body through your urine, but that means almost nothing because this diuretic caffeine swims in a huge cup of water, so the small amount of water expelled from your body through the diuretic effect is often replaced by the liquid from the coffee, resulting in a net gain of water in your body unless you only drink espressos that have very little liquid but the same caffeine content, so the Italians are all screwed, although they are not because it is common in Europe to drink a glass of water with an espresso and you should too if you are smart, even a small glass of water will easily nullify any diuretic effects of espresso.
One study found that a regular-sized cup of coffee is almost as hydrating as water, even more so if you add a little milk to it, because believe it or not, milk. It is actually more hydrating than water. Any negative effects of caffeine are far outweighed by the negative health effects of not drinking enough water on a daily basis and when some people decide to give up coffee or tea, they often do not replace it with another drink at the same time. At least not one that you drink regularly throughout the day, which means that you generally consume much less water each day, which is definitely harmful, so drink it, but make sure that when you drink coffee it is a very strong coffee.well because life is too short. for bad coffee, you know what else life is too short to surf the internet unprotected without nordvpn?
