It’s one of the most popular drinks around the world, and people everywhere just can’t get enough of it: Coffee. Maybe you can’t start your day without it, or you need an afternoon pick-me-up, or perhaps it’s your after-dinner treat with dessert. Whenever you drink it, at one point or another you may notice that you’ve had just a bit too much, and when that perkiness turns into jitters, here’s what to do:
Wait it out. It may seem a bit helpless, but the best thing you can do when you’ve consumed too much coffee is to try to stay calm and wait it out. Caffeine has a half life of about six hours, so that strong cup of coffee you made yourself as 6 am will still have some effect at noon, and won’t completely leave your system until 6pm. With this in mind, you can ease the panic knowing that the caffeine is still in your system and its long lasting effects are perfectly normal.
East something. Although it can’t do much to tame the effects the caffeine is already having on your system, eating something can certainly help the symptoms from getting any worse. Caffeine is fully absorbed once it reaches the small intestine by way of the stomach, but if your stomach is empty it won’t have a very long trip ahead. If you’re feeling jittery after having that first cup on an empty stomach, make sure to have breakfast or an early lunch immediately thereafter.
