As implied by the name, “Caffeine Awareness Month,” March is the perfect time to take stock of your intake of this alertness-inducing chemical. That’s because, despite the growing popularity and variety of teas and other decaffeinated morning brews, tens of millions of Americans begin each day with a cup or two, or more, of coffee. And a large percentage of coffee drinkers refresh their doses of caffeine with even more coffee or soda throughout the day.
Yes, there are proven health benefits of caffeine (reduction in the risk of throat cancer and stroke, for example), but there are serious downsides as well. Consuming more than 400 mg per day (five eight-ounce cups) may trigger anxiety, insomnia, and increased blood pressure. On top of that, as habitual caffeinated coffee drinkers can confirm, there’s often a “crash” when the intake of caffeine is cut off at the end of the day, similar to the empty-calorie “sugar crash” experienced by sweets lovers.
It’s natural in a spare moment to consider the effects of your daily habits, dietary or otherwise. So this month, take the time you might otherwise use to think about improving your work status or strengthening the bond you have with a partner or family member, and take an honest look at your caffeine consumption. Chances are, you’ll come to an important realization.
