People with stress, discomfort, nerves or even anxiety should try not to take stimulant ingredients. One of the first things you should moderate is your caffeine consumption. We reduce or eliminate coffee. There are those who, instead of coffee, decide to opt for another pleasure and eat an ounce or a good portion of dark chocolate. They do well?
Of the caffeinated ingredients, dark chocolate would be one of those with the highest content. It must be taken into account that 100 ml of coffee is equivalent to three cups. That would be equivalent to 20 mg of caffeine per short cup. A long coffee, however, would already be 40, according to the UPC study developed by the industrial engineer specialized in chemistry Eva María Carral as a final degree project.
Dark chocolate bars are usually 100 grams and, according to the document, contain 68 milligrams of caffeine. If you start snacking on chocolate without realizing it, you will quickly make a third of the bar disappear, which would mean you would be consuming more than 22 mg of caffeine. If you only drink one or two ounces, there will be no problem and the amount of caffeine will be less than that of a coffee.
Of all the other products that include caffeine, black tea stands out in particular and, as expected, energy drinks, which contain considerably more caffeine than coffee.
If we consider that a can of soda is a third of a liter, we see that there are 113 mg per can, which is an amount that is usually consumed completely. If we go to half-liter cans, the quantity skyrockets.
The problem with energy drinks is not the caffeine (up to 400 mg a day is fine), but the rest of the stimulating ingredients they contain and the interaction they have with each other.
