Drinking Excessive Amounts of Caffeinated Beverages

We hear conflicting reports all the time about coffee – some people say we should avoid it like the plague, and other researchers seem to think it’s practically the elixir of life. Most people would never dream of giving up coffee, but drinking it excessively can negatively affect your health. Since caffeine is a stimulant, drinking too much of it can make you feel overly anxious and contribute to insomnia, irritability, and digestive issues.

According to the Mayo Clinic, try to limit your intake of caffeinated beverages to 400mg per day, as this amount seems safe for most adults.
