Caffeine, Useful or Harmful to Health??

Because every so often to see the drug pain relievers containing caffeine, I was interested to discuss about the benefits of caffeine in relieving pain. Many questions in my mind about the caffeine that I know a lot of diving this negative effect on health but why the drug pain relievers have caffeine levels are quite large. 😕  Okay, we begin to examine and discuss the caffeine! Happy reading!  😉

Caffeine, or more popular caffeine, xanthine alkaloid compound is crystalline and bitter taste that works as a psychoactive stimulant drug and a mild diuretic. Caffeine is found naturally in foodstuffs such as coffee beans, tea leaves, fruits, cola, guarana, and mate. In plants, it acts as a natural pesticide that paralyzes and turn off certain insects that eat the plants. It is typically consumed by humans by taking the extract of coffee beans and tea leaves.

Chemical structure of Caffeine

Caffeine can be removed from the brain quickly, no stimulants such as alcohol or other central nervous system so as not to interfere with higher mental function, and footing the brain. Caffeine consumption in a sustainable manner will cause the body to become tolerant to the presence of caffeine. Therefore, if the internal production of caffeine removed (called “release dependency”), the body becomes less sensitive to adenosine, causing a sudden drop in blood pressure which resulted in headaches and so on other symptoms. Recent research says caffeine can reduce the risk of Parkinson’s disease, but it still requires in-depth review.

Too much caffeine can cause poisoning (intoxication), caffeine (drunk due to caffeine). Between the symptoms of this disease are restlessness, worry, insomnia, volatility, flushing, frequent urination (diuresis), and the problem gastrointestial. These symptoms can occur even though only 250 mg of caffeine taken. If more than 1g of caffeine consumed in one day, symptoms like muscle spasms (muscle twitching), and the word tumult, kardium arrhythmias (disturbances in heart throb) m and the fluctuation of psychomotor (psychomotor agitation) may occur. Caffeine intoxication can lead to panic and disease concerns.

Some of the benefits of caffeine are:
Relieve pain
The scientists argue that the efficacy of caffeine as an analgesic materialized
through three mechanisms: inhibiting adenosine work, activating point
noragrenergik (adrenaline), stimulates the central nervous system.
* Caffeine is proven to be effective in overcoming the pressure at the condition had a headache.
* As is well known by doctors for almost five hundred
years, caffeine is also capable of relieving pain caused by MIGRAINE. Migraine proven
vascular inflammation is not caused by interference with the system but
serotonin.

Eradicate CANCER
Caffeine can reduce the risk of some cancers. Evaluation
of Coffee and Caffeine for Mutagenic, Carciogenic, and Anticarcinogenic
Activity (2000), Richard H. Adamson Ph. D, summarizes the research results in four
epidemiology and concluded that the amount of caffeine intake is associated with
protective effect of breast cancer development. Two studies claimed
3-4 cups of coffee a day REDUCE BREAST CANCER incidents are
significant.

Caffeine consumption also reduces the prevalence of colon cancer. In 1998, Professor
wdward Giovanucci, Harvard University epidemiologist to analyze 17
results of research and concluded,?? Drinking several cups of coffee each
day reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer as much as 30 percent compared
do not drink coffee at all.

The rest, here’s Short Summary-Health Effects of Caffeine

1. Protect the body from damage due to stroke
2. Prevent gallstone formation

7. Help prevent the danger that arises because of low blood sugar levels in some diabetics 
8. Enhance male fertility; little or no effect female fertility 
9. Did not cause birth defects, but dangerous if consumed at the time  pregnant, and the exact amount can increase the chances of miscarriage
10. Glaucoma can worsen the condition if taken in doses of highly high

that was my little article about caffeine and health benefits even though not yet led to specific questions in my mind that, how caffeine can relieve pain in many diseases. And how do these drugs work. 😦 Hopefully in the next I’m writing can be discussed and examined about it. 😀
