5 Ways to Relieve Anxiety and Restlessness After Drinking Coffee

Jakarta –

In some cases, drinking coffee can trigger feelings of restlessness, anxiety and discomfort. There are several ways to avoid this effect after drinking coffee.

Everyone has a different reaction to coffee. There are those who are fine after drinking coffee, there are those who feel their body has more energy and enthusiasm after drinking coffee, but there are also those who actually feel anxious and restless.

“This is because caffeine is a natural stimulant and one of its main effects is to block adenosine receptors which ultimately causes an increase in dopamine, noradrenaline and glutamate,” said nutritionist Lamorna Hollingsworth.

In the cardiovascular system, this condition causes an increase in a person’s blood pressure and heart rate. While in the central nervous system, lower doses of caffeine can indeed increase motor activity and alertness, but consuming higher doses can produce symptoms of anxiety.

Because of this, many health experts recommend reducing coffee intake periodically.

Apart from that, to relieve or prevent this effect, there are five ways you can pay attention to when drinking coffee, reported by NWPhysicians (30/12).

1. Coffee Quality

Most coffee has a bitter taste, because this coffee has been roasted. Keep in mind that quality coffee doesn’t taste too bitter. But if the taste of the coffee is not good, to the point where you have to add cream, sugar and so on, it means the quality of the coffee is no longer very good.

To ensure that the coffee you buy is still fresh, you should buy coffee grounds from a place that grinds its own coffee beans. Or you can start buying coffee beans and processing them at home in a simple way.

2. Improve Sleep Patterns

The less sleep time is enjoyed, the more people will need coffee. The effect of this coffee of course makes it more difficult for people to sleep. The stimulant effect obtained from caffeine comes from the release of noradrenaline compounds into the adrenal glands, which are located right above the kidneys.

When this gland does not get enough rest from the body, of course it will make the body tired more quickly. So effects such as restlessness and anxiety appear.

Make sure you get enough rest, so that the adrenals in the body can recover. So you can still drink coffee without experiencing serious side effects on the body.

3. Drink lots of water

Coffee fans often forget this important habit, namely continuing to drink water to keep the body hydrated. Especially in the morning, you should drink two glasses of water before starting to drink coffee.

Because this coffee has diuretic properties which make people urinate more often. So if it is not supported by water intake, over time the body will become dehydrated due to lack of fluids.
