YOGYAKARTA If you are a coffee warrant in the morning, it's important to limit. Don't let it be too much and cause a caffeine crash in the afternoon. What is a caffeine crash?

The caffeine crash is the effect of drinking caffeine, for example in the dregs of coffee, in the morning which causes energy to weaken and concentration in the afternoon. Caffeine contains almost 100 percent bioavailability when consumed orally. This means that you absorb everything into the bloodstream faster. Launching mbgHealth, Sunday, June 18, the full effect of caffeine works for 45-60 minutes and can last 3-5 hours or longer if the body's caffeine metabolism is slow.

Hours after drinking caffeine, many people experience caffeine crashes. Side effects vary in intensity from person to person. Including being heavily sleepy during the day, feeling irritated, and unable to concentrate. The effect is the opposite of the benefits of drinking caffeine, for example in coffee. For some people, caffeine effects also stay up late, with side effects including digestive problems and sensitivity to light or sound.

Why does a caffeine crash happen? All bodies are different so the response to caffeine will also be different. That explains why one person after drinking two cups of coffee during the day still sleeps well at night. While there are also those who can't sleep at night almost until morning. This is influenced by how the body metabolizes caffeine.

Caffeine is a compound that triggers the central nerves, this allows you to be alert and focused. It may also be because your caffeine has more energy. Including increased adrenaline and heart rate or blood pressure. For most people, this physiological change is temporary. But for some others, it can have unwanted effects. Including feelings of anxiety, anxiety, irritability, easy to offend, intestinal disorders, and difficulty sleeping.

When one consumes caffeine, a liver enzyme called CYP1A2 breaks it down. Gens that encode this enzyme vary widely each person. Scientists divide people into three groups, depending on how fast their hearts metabolize caffeine: high metabolism, regularity, and low. For high metabolism, these enzymes are broken and help clean caffeine very quickly. Low metabolism, on the other hand, breaks coffee at a much slower pace, so the effect lasts longer.

Your brain also plays a role in caffeine metabolism. The main way caffeine increases vigilance and provides an energy effect is to block adenosine from attaching to brain receptors. One of the main roles of adenosine is to accumulate during the day and slow brain activity and make you sleepy. Once your body metabolizes that caffeine and its effects disappear, the adenosine overwhelms the brain's receptor and informs your brain that this is sleepy time, even though it was the middle of the day. This can cause the fear of a caffeine crash sensation, namely energy downturn and late afternoon concentration.

Experts suggest, how to deal with caffeine crashes by measuring how much coffee consumption limits refer to each person's body. If you rely on morning coffee to pull you all day long, you may find its energy effects to decrease in the middle of the day. For that, it's important to consider when and why you rely on caffeine to stay productive. In addition, eating foods that balance blood sugar levels. Plus, if you continue to interfere with your activity, reduce caffeine consumption gradually. Furthermore, it is important to set a time limit for drinking coffee every day.
