Caffeine is known as a stimulant to the central nervous system, so if caffeine is consumed regularly can cause mild physical dependence like other drug addictions. Because of this, most experts consider the effects of caffeine addiction. When caffeine is consumed regularly and quickly stopped, some of us will experience uncomfortable symptoms which last for one to several days.
However the effects of this addiction can still be avoided if caffeine intake is reduced slowly. If you try to stop the habit of consuming caffeine, you may experience one of the symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, anxiety, irritability, mood depression, and difficulty concentrating.
2. Myth: Caffeine causes insomniaFact: Even then depending on how much the amount of caffeine consumed. The human body quickly absorbs the caffeine, but also metabolic processes in the body is rapid.
Caffeine treatment process involves the liver. On average, it takes 4-5 hours to deplete the caffeine from the body. After five hours, 75 percent of the caffeine is removed. Unless you are very sensitive, in the morning if you drank a cup or two cups of coffee, may affect your sleep.
But if you eat a latte or espresso after dinner, you may have trouble with insomnia. It would be better, if caffeine is consumed 6 hours before bedtime.
However, the sensitivity of each person will differ, depending also on the metabolism and the amount of caffeine you consume on a regular basis.
3. Myth: Caffeine increases the risk of osteoporosis, heart disease, and cancerFact: The reality, the amount of caffeine consumed about 300 milligrams, about three cups, it can cause health problems in adults. However, some people will be more sensitive to the effects of caffeine, including the elderly and people with high blood pressure.
If caffeine is consumed more than 744 milligrams per day, equivalent to 7-8 cups a day, have effect increased loss of calcium and magnesium in the urine, so the risk of causing osteoporosis. But recent studies show this does not increase risk of bone loss, especially if you get enough calcium.
You can offset the loss of calcium if you drink one cup of coffee by adding two tablespoons of milk. However, research also shows some relationship between caffeine and risk of hip fracture in older adults. Older people may be more sensitive to the effects of caffeine on calcium metabolism.
If you, a woman aged, discuss with your doctor whether you should limit daily caffeine intake to 300 milligrams or you are less than that amount to prevent adverse effects. According to research by a team from Harvard, is also said to caffeine consumption does not increase the risk of heart disease and does not raise cholesterol levels or cause irregular heartbeat.
However, heart rate and blood pressure generally increased in those who are sensitive to caffeine, but the increase was minimal and comparative to normal activities such as climbing stairs. If you have high blood pressure problems, talk to your doctor about the amount of caffeine intake that can be consumed, because some people may be more sensitive to its effects.

Those who consume excessive coffee are also at risk of liver cancer. Then, a study on 59 thousand women in Sweden, a country with the highest level of coffee consumption per capita in the world, found no association between caffeine consumption and breast cancer.
4. Myth: Pregnant women and women planning to become pregnant should avoid caffeineFact: A study conducted at the State University of New York and other studies published in the journal Epidemiology, looked at the effects of beverages containing caffeine on reproductive factors. The results indicate that caffeine consumption is actually safe for pregnant or planning to become pregnant as far as the amount is not excessive.
In addition, note the lack of correlation between caffeine consumption and spontaneous abortion or abnormal fetal growth. However, those women who were pregnant and planning a pregnancy should still limit the amount of caffeine intake. It would be better if the daily caffeine consumption of less than 200 milligrams per day.
5. Myth: Caffeine is bad for childrenFact: The Journal of Pediatrics published a survey showing that in the U.S., children 5-7 years old drink about 52 mg of caffeine daily, and 8-12 years old children drink 109 mg a day. In general, children have the same ability to process caffeine as adults.
A study by A. Leviton published in Clinical Pediatrics indicates that the drinks and foods containing caffeine if consumed regularly has the effect of causing hyperactivity in children. However, in children who are sensitive, high doses of caffeine, can cause temporary effects such as irritability, insomnia, or anxiety.
6. Myth: Caffeine can beat alcoholFact: Research shows that in fact many people only think caffeine will help them calm down. Alcohol also has the same ability but it is false. People who drink caffeine along with the alcohol still has the same reaction. In fact, research shows that those who drink alcohol and caffeine together are actually more likely to have a risk of an automobile accident.
7. Myth: Caffeine has no health benefitsFact: For some people, caffeine has the effect of increasing alertness, concentration, energy, and can cause headaches and feelings like anger. Scientific research at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore and Harvard to support a person's subjective experience about the effects of caffeine and have shown that caffeine can improve memory and logical reasoning. One French study showed the effect of caffeine also caused a slower decline in cognitive abilities in women.
Another recent report, suggesting that caffeine may be useful in treating allergic reactions due to its ability to reduce the concentration of histamine, a substance that causes the body responds to substances pemicualergi.

The results of a study published in the Journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, indicate that alcohol causes people to wake up earlier than usual. The research was conducted by a team from the University of Akita, Japan.
They provide three different doses of pure alcohol at intervals of three weeks to the respondent. Then, they tested the quality of sleep. The study also found that drinking too much before bed is not only interfere with sleep but also have a negative effect on the body's digestive system and can cause other illnesses.

Many pros and cons about the benefits of coffee. But it seems the latest facts about coffee will make you smile. Because the coffee has been shown to protect you from skin cancer.
A recent study tried to complement previous studies showing that caffeine can be an effective weapon in the fight against skin cancer. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the study makes the rat as an experiment which was divided into two groups.
The first group of mice has been modified from genes to deter a particular protein called ATR, and rich in ultraviolet radiation (UV). Meanwhile, a second group of rats, no.
The researchers found that both groups of mice remained free of tumors after exposure to UV light for some time. However, after 19 weeks of exposure to UV light, the first group of rats experienced 70 percent fewer tumors compared to the second group of mice.
This research helps explain how caffeine can reduce the risk of exposure to sunlight can cause skin cancer. Caffeine can inhibit ATR kinase pathway, which plays a major role in responding to DNA damage. If absorbed by the body, the ATR can inhibit cell division and allow repair of DNA damaged cells rather than letting die.
"It may sound good, but not all successful repairs and a few cells capable of developing cancer," said Allan Conney, director of the Susan Lehman Cullman Laboratory for Cancer Research at Rutgers Universitad, cited YouBeauty.
This study identified that the ATR kinase pathway could be inhibited by caffeine so that damaged cells will die. Ultimately, the emergence of cancer cells can be prevented. However, caffeine is not only impede this important protein. Caffeine also acts as a natural sunscreen.
You also have benefited from sun protection daily cup of coffee. A 2007 study on nearly 94 thousand women who drank coffee every day, known skin cancer risk 11 percent lower than those who do not. Meanwhile, women who drank six cups or more per day reduced their risk by 30 percent.
Although diligent drink coffee, never pass the sunscreen. "The same general rule applies to you always apply sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. But seek surnya sunscreen that can protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays. Repeat every two hours even though the day was cloudy, after swimming, or being sweaty," said dr. Howard Sobel, a dermatologist from Manhattan

Being overweight or obese Often identikkan with something bad and detrimental to health.However, two studies published last week found that overweight people can be healthy as well as people with normal weight.
In an article in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine recently, scientists found, the health of obese people depend on where the fat stored in the body. In normal people, and fat, abdominal fat is more higher risk of heart disease and diabetes compared with fat in the buttocks or thighs.
But for people with obesity, the greatest risk due to the accumulation of fat in the liver.
In one study, researchers at the University of Tübingen, Germany, studied 314 patients and divided into four groups: normal weight, overweight, obese but insulin-sensitive, and obese with insulin resistance.
Experts found that not all obese patients have the same health profile. Some have clogged arteries, which is a risk factor for heart attacks as well as insulin resistance which is a precursor to diabetes. Currently, the body loses sensitivity to the hormone that regulates blood sugar.
But about 25 percent of obese people have clean arteries and insulin resistance. From the medical side, these people are no different than the owner of normal weight.
"No one would say overweight healthy," said Lewis Landsberg, MD, of Northwestern University's Center on Obesity in Chicago. "The message is overweight is much healthier for some people than others," he was quoted Health.com
The big difference between obese patients and their colleagues are related to unhealthy accumulation of fat in the liver. Insulin-resistant obese people have more liver fat levels than almost doubled (8.8 percent) than people with normal weight (3.5 percent).
For comparison, normal weight and obese people have fatty liver levels respectively 1.9 percent and 3.8 percent.
