Coffee is one of the most popular drinks around the world. In Germany, it is at the top of the list of the most consumed drinks. In order to monitor the appropriate amount of caffeine, a special automatic calculator has been developed whose function is to monitor this stimulant in the body.
Most people associate caffeine with coffee. However, this stimulant is also present in energy drinks, green and black tea, colas and even cocoa drinks. While many rely on coffee to wake up in the morning or stay up and improve work, some argue that too much caffeine is harmful to health.
Harmful or beneficial
Caffeine contains positive and negative health effects as well, but the effect of caffeine on the performance of the body does not start immediately, but takes about 30 minutes for its effectiveness to appear, according to what was published by the German magazine Stern.
Is coffee good for our health?
While many tests have demonstrated the benefits of coffee, that it is stimulant and reduces the risk of early death and heart disease and its ability to resist depression and help it burn body fat, experts believe that this comes only through drinking coffee in moderation and without exaggeration.

People who consume coffee a lot are at risk of side effects such as insomnia, nervousness, nausea, rapid heartbeat or muscle cramps. There are also some people who are allergic to caffeine, which may cause severe consequences after consuming it, especially since drinking coffee after taking certain medications such as antibiotics, has an effect on the way caffeine works in the body, which may be dangerous to its health.
Moderation is required ... but how?
According to the German magazine, moderation is different from one person to another in terms of his age, weight and health he enjoys, and is considered about 400 milligrams daily as a safe dose for healthy adults. This equates to about three to four cups of coffee. And the caffeine content depends on the type of coffee and the degree of roasting. A single dose of caffeine should not exceed 200 milligrams.
In order to accurately calculate the appropriate amount of caffeine in the body, the German Federal Center for Nutrition (BZfE) created a special electronic calculator. And interested in the inclusion of his name and weight and the amount of drinks he consumed, from coffee, tea, juice or even chocolate, to the machine to check the amount and give an approximate percentage of caffeine.
The calculator site advises visitors to drink coffee or stop drinking it, according to the amount of caffeine in the body. There is also additional information on the website about how caffeine works in the body, its effect and the amount of caffeine allowed during pregnancy and lactation. However, the calculator does not apply to pregnant women.
