These foods all contain caffeine. Is it harmful to eat too much?

In fact, many foods we eat contain caffeine, such as coffee, chocolate, tea, functional drinks (Red Bull) and other popular foods. Caffeine is a xanthine alkaloid compound, a central nervous system stimulant that can temporarily drive away sleepiness and restore energy. Caffeine can be said to be the favorite of people who work overtime and students.

Caffeine is a psychoactive drug that is strictly controlled by the state. If abused, it will have certain side effects.

Kang Dajun wants to say that caffeine is used clinically to treat neurasthenia and coma resuscitation. If used in large doses or for a long time, it will also have great side effects.

In the case of long-term intake, large doses of caffeine are a drug that can lead to "caffeine poisoning". Caffeine poisoning includes a series of adverse physical and psychological reactions, such as nervousness, irritability, anxiety, tremors, muscle cramps, insomnia and palpitations. Kangda drug rehabilitation experts remind that if the above symptoms have appeared, you should stop using caffeine immediately and seek medical treatment. Otherwise, the condition will worsen and may cause digestive tract diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and even death.

Caffeine is addictive, and users will continue to increase their dosage due to their body's tolerance. At this time, the effect of caffeine does not only stay in the cerebral cortex, it can directly excite the medulla oblongata, cause paroxysmal convulsions and bone tremors, damage important internal organs such as the liver, stomach, and kidneys, induce respiratory inflammation, breast tumors in women and other diseases, and even cause the next generation of users to have low intelligence and limb deformities. Caffeine addiction, once stopped, will also cause various withdrawal symptoms such as mental atrophy, fatigue and weakness. There have been a large number of reports of caffeine addiction and even death at home and abroad, so caffeine should not be taken lightly.

Experts from Hunan Kangda Voluntary Drug Rehabilitation Center said that caffeine is addictive and is a second-category psychotropic drug preparation under state control. Purified caffeine preparations require doctors with prescription rights to prescribe them and cannot be purchased at pharmacies. However, the coffee and chocolate we usually drink can be used without worry. So don't worry too much.

Of course, if you accidentally become addicted to caffeine, you can quit. As long as you receive scientific treatment, the physical and mental addiction of caffeine addiction can be controlled. At present, our hospital has introduced a lot of physical disease treatment equipment and invited experts and professors from tertiary hospitals for regular consultation. The physical diseases of hospitalized drug addicts are effectively treated and their life safety is guaranteed.

In addition, the hospital's pioneering "fully enclosed withdrawal treatment model for foot therapy", multi-target coverage of Chinese and Western medicine treatment, three-dimensional rehabilitation treatment system and high-end psychological treatment have been well received by many patients. Many patients have a long period of adherence after discharge, and many have completely quit.
