Caffeine is a substance that many plant species produce to protect themselves from insects.<\/p>\n
Many plants\u2014like guarana and cola\u2014contain this substance in their fruits, leaves, or seeds.<\/p>\n
Caffeine is present not only in coffee beans but also in our favorite drinks, like Pepsi, Coca-Cola, and energy drinks.<\/p>\n
When consumed, caffeine has a strong effect on the central nervous system.<\/p>\n
With excessive use, the following side effects<\/a> may occur:<\/p>\n The dosage for the use of coffee and tea, as well as other caffeinated drinks, should be treated very carefully.<\/p>\n It is recommended<\/a> that you consume no more than 400 mg of caffeine per day.<\/p>\n You can get that dose by drinking four cups of coffee or 10 cans of \u0421ola.<\/p>\n But don’t drink more than 200 mg at a time<\/a>.<\/p>\n Consuming caffeinated foods consciously and in moderation can provide health benefits.<\/p>\n Caffeine promotes a good mood, improves athletic performance<\/a>, and speeds up metabolism<\/a>.<\/p>\n The main problem is that its impact on each person can be very different.<\/p>\n For some, a cup of tea is enough to get energized, while others will not feel any effect even after two espressos.<\/p>\n Therefore, it is necessary to understand the actual caffeine content of different drinks.<\/p>\n \n Tea leaves contain 3.5% caffeine<\/a>, while coffee beans contain 1.1 to 2.2%<\/a> caffeine.<\/p>\n But when we talk about a serving of each drink, a cup of black coffee has about 95 mg<\/a> of caffeine. In a cup of tea, the amount varies from 14 to 61 mg<\/a>.<\/p>\n Why do we get more caffeine from coffee beans than from tea leaves?<\/p>\n When we brew coffee, we use water at higher temperatures.<\/p>\n We also need more beans to make a cup of coffee.<\/p>\n The amount of caffeine hardly depends on the type of tea.<\/p>\n Black, green, white, and other teas are produced from the leaves of one plant: Camellia sinensis.<\/p>\n The only difference is the processing.<\/p>\n\n
