Question

Is tea good for you if it contains caffeine?

Answer 1

Caffeine: If you meant ibs, as in irritable bowel syndrome, then caffeine in moderation should be ok. If in excess, it can exacerbate ibs symptoms.

Answer 2

Caffeine: No it is not effective for leaky gut syndrome.

Answer 3

Yes: Yes, but you should limit your intake to the equivalent of two 6 oz cups of coffee daily or 1-2 cola beverages.

Answer 4

Yes: A moderate caffeine intake, such as two 8oz cups of coffee per day, is probably safe. However, caffeine is a diuretic which means you'll need to increase your water intake to make up for the excess you lose. Also, drinking caffeinated beverages will cause you to have to urinate more often which is already a problem for most pregnant women.

Answer 5

Yes: During pregnancy limit intake to 1-2 servings. Excessive caffine has been shown to cause pregnancy complications. If not pregnant excessive caffeine can also cause problems --hypertension, GI problems, and insomnia.

Answer 6

Yes: Yes in moderation it is fine.

Answer 7

Yes: Studies have shown that a cup or two of coffee is safe in pregnancy. A small cola or a cup of tea are the same. However, if you have high blood pressure you should avoid caffeine since it may increase your blood pressure even more.

Answer 8

No: Caffeine helps prevent dementia in the long run, excessive caffeine is not good - if you are vit B6 deficient the caffeine breaksdown in body to homocysteine which increases inflammation, so either you can increase your vit B6 intake or make up for caffeine by drinking 3 times the oz in water. Theophylline in tea is a stimulant people with irregular heartbeat need to watch the amount they drink..

Answer 9

No: Caffeine addiction is like any other addiction. Too much can cause health problems and cutting back is difficult. But you can do it over time - just substitute something else instead like water, a healthy snack (e.g. Banana), or unsweetened juice. If you do cut back too fast, you may get headaches, anxiety, nausea, or other withdrawal symptoms.

Answer 10

No not healthy,: try stopping coffee on weekends or periods when alertness is not as important

Answer 11

Stimulant: Caffeine's effects often depend on the individual. For some people, it can provide energy, focus, and alertness. In others, and especially at higher concentrations, it can cause jitteriness, problems sleeping, and palpitations. With repetitive use, you may become tolerant to caffeine, meaning its effects are reduced over time.

Answer 12

Many: It is a stimulant, chemically similar to amphetamine but much less potent. It can cause anxiety, tremor, insomnia and irritability, and in some very sensitive people, this can be severe and include elevation of blood pressure and pulse. In high doses, like in some of the energy drinks, some of these symptoms have had serious consequences, with a few deaths, probably due to heart arrhythmias.

Answer 13

Depends: Depends on size and age of the person, and what else is in the system, but the half life is 3 to 12 hours.

Answer 14

Depends on dose: The more caffeine you drink, the higher the initial level. After4-6 hours your level will drop. Some of us are more sensitive, and after one cup of coffee will have effects for more than 12 hours.

Answer 15

Variable: In general, it is short-acting, with a half-life of about 3 hours, but there may be genetic differences as well as drug/drug and drug/food interactions. Some people are very sensitive to some effects of caffeine, and consuming some in the morning may even interfere with sleep. Drugs like caffeine alter the receptor/neurotransmitter environment, and those effects may last longer than the drug.

Answer 16

A long time...: It stays in your body longer than you might think. Half life of caffeine can be anywhere from three to seven hours which means it can stay in your system 5 times that long depending on your metabolism.
