Caffeine is a natural ingredient in coffee, cocoa, tea, and chocolate and is added to some drugs. Despite being "natural”, caffeine is a powerful drug which greatly affects the body. In healthy people, a dose of 100 milligrams (about one cup of coffee) reduces drowsiness, enhances intellectual and muscular effort, and regulates heart and respiratory rates. Drinking one to two cups of coffee an hour before exercise encourages the body to burn fat – something that results in greater endurance. In doses above 300 milligrams, caffeine can produce nervousness, headaches, and muscle twitches. Caffeine is habit-forming; those who try to suddenly stop after heavy use may experience withdrawal symptoms as headaches, irritability, and difficulty in concentrating.
