Overdosing On Caffeine, Some Warning Signs

How many cups of coffee do you have in a day? Too many? There's nothing better than a fresh cup of coffee first thing in the morning,

Studies have found that some caffeine can improve mental acuity and performance throughout the day, but too much caffeine can negatively impact your mood, energy, and even health, says Erin Palinski, RD, CDE, CPT

So how can you tell if you have had too much caffeine?

You’re peeing orange
No, I am not kidding, and not to be disgusting, but urine that is dark yellow or orange is a telltale sign of dehydration. Coffee is a diuretic that can lead to dehydration, by causing you to urinate more, depleting body fluids.

Anxiety
Feeling jittery, sweaty, heart racing can all point to the fact that you’ve had too much caffeine. Caffeine can exacerbate stress and depression and can act as a stimulant that increases heart rate and makes you feel anxious.

Heartburn or Reflux
Caffeine relaxes esophageal sphincter which can cause stomach contents to "back-up" into your throat.
