The accelerated pace of society now means that the workload for every busy working party is increasing day by day. Working parties can only squeeze their energy and try every possible way to keep themselves awake. For example, strong tea, Red Bull, and coffee, among which coffee is undoubtedly the most used. But what are the consequences of drinking coffee every day? I believe that those who often drink coffee are also very curious, and the following editor will give you an example.

Coffee is a popular beverage for stimulating energy. However, it is also known that drinking too much coffee is harmful to the body, and some people should not drink coffee. A man in Japan died from excessive caffeine consumption, which may become the first report of death in Japan due to long-term caffeine poisoning .

According to Japanese media reports, the Forensic Medicine Department of Fukuoka University in Japan recently revealed that a man in his 20s in Kyushu, Japan died of caffeine poisoning due to long-term drinking of caffeinated beverages with a refreshing effect.

It is reported that there may be caffeine tablets in his stomach, but according to analysis, the cause of death is the large amount of beverages consumed. Judging from the specific circumstances, it is unlikely that he took a large amount of beverages for the purpose of suicide.

The Food Safety Department of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan stated that "there have been no reports of deaths from caffeine poisoning in the country." The above case may be the first report of death from long-term caffeine poisoning in Japan.

The man was said to have frequently consumed caffeinated beverages to stay awake. The manufacturer of the same product said, "Please do not drink multiple bottles in a row or drink with alcohol, which can intensify the side effects."

Japanese media pointed out that excessive caffeine intake by young people in Japan and abroad has become a major problem. More than 10 deaths have been reported in the United States, where drinks with high caffeine content are sold, but some experts believe that "there should be deaths in Japan as well." There is no upper limit for intake in Japan.

Excessive coffee consumption has 6 major hazards

Nowadays, many modern people like to drink coffee and functional drinks containing caffeine to refresh themselves. However, many people do not know that caffeine can affect 6 parts of the body.

1. Heart

Caffeine acts on the heart in two ways: in addition to affecting the brain center that regulates the cardiovascular system, it also acts directly on the heart. High doses of caffeine can increase the heart rate by 10 to 20 beats per minute in people who are intolerant to caffeine, and may cause temporary arrhythmia in some people.

Therefore, moderate consumption of caffeinated beverages (up to 500 mg per day on average) does not significantly increase the risk of heart disease, but exceeding this dose may increase the risk of myocardial infarction.

2. Kidneys

Many people often go to the bathroom after drinking coffee in the morning. This is because caffeine affects the adenosine receptors in the kidneys and acts like a diuretic. Caffeine may also slow down the brain's release of an antidiuretic hormone that reduces urine production.

summary:

Although coffee can refresh you, the price is your life. Perhaps when you take a sip of coffee, your life and health are quietly passing away.
