#17 What about Caffeine?

There are plenty of us who consume caffeine daily, but do you really know what it can do to your health? Yes, we all know that caffeine brings a lot of benefits to one self like concentration, boosting memory and also promotes a good mental health. Not everyone gets the same effect out of consuming caffeine. Every individual is different. 

New York magazine previously reported: "Women generally metabolize caffeine faster than men. Smokers process it twice as quickly as nonsmokers do. Women taking birth control pills metabolize it at perhaps one-third the rate that women not on the Pill do. Asians may do so more slowly than people of other races."


Caffeine has it's side effects too. For instance, if someone consumes excess amounts of caffeine, it can trigger a persons heart rate to be faster, anxiety and insomnia. Stopping immediately from drinking caffeine may cause irritability and mild headaches.
