"Coffee with the content of active substances Caffein, can cause heartburn, because of the stimulation effect of the coffee against the gastrointestinal tract, " said the Doctor Inge
According to him, in some cases, people who have a sensitivity to caffeine can add a sense of heartburn.
Inge's doctor revealed, one way to reduce the flavor of heartburn, if you want to consume coffee, can reduce the amount of coffee that you want to consume.
"Maybe by reducing jumlahya yes, but for me, few or more, consuming coffee makes my stomach always also become uncomfortable. Except the coffee is only aroma yes, "he said again.
A powerful way
Meanwhile, the powerful way that is assessed to eliminate heartburn, ie not to consume coffee at the moment does not want to suddenly feel heartburn.
For example, when you are attending a seminar or other important event, where a sense of heartburn will greatly interfere with concentration and pleasure.
Related to caffeine content in coffee, the Doctor Inge explained there are a number of useful caffeine benefits for the body.
"Caffein among them can accelerate the movement of the intestine (gastrointestinal tract), increase metabolism, so many of its roles are to refresh (not sleepy), eliminate headaches and also worn in people who want to lose weight, " explained Inge.
It is explained that caffeine is the most commonly used stimulant and drug in the world. Every day, millions of people consume it to increase alertness, reduce fatigue, and increase concentration and focus.
Amid myths and controversies about whether caffeine is good or bad for us, evidence suggests that moderate coffee consumption can bring benefits and risks.
However, high caffeine consumption may not be healthy.
In addition, in today's emerging trends adding caffeine to beverages and snacks that do not naturally contain caffeine have raised new worries.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers it, caffeine as a drug and dietary additives. They recommend a maximum intake of 400 mg daily.
In prescription and free drugs (OTC), caffeine is used to treat fatigue and drowsiness, and to enhance the effects of some pain relievers.
It has a group of drugs called Central nervous system stimulants (CNS).
Meanwhile, foods that contain caffeine can help restore mental alertness.
Things to note
Use of caffeine as a relief aid only occasionally. It is not intended to replace bedtime and should not be used regularly for the purpose of "overstaying".
In the United States (US), more than 90 percent of adults use caffeine regularly, with an average consumption of more than 200 milligrams of caffeine per day.
This action obviously gives caffeine more than two cups of coffee 6 ounces or five cans of soft drink 12 ounces.
Although some foods and drinks contain caffeine, but excessive consumption of caffeine or exceeding the suggested recommended limit will pose a risk.
A total of 75 mg of caffeine may increase attention and alertness, and dosages of 160 to 600 mg can increase mental alertness, speed of thought, and memory.
However, caffeine is not a substitute for sleep.
