The modern world is full of opportunities, money and stress, and the modern man seeks to use all opportunities, earn more money while avoiding stress. For this reason, to keep themselves in good shape, about 90% of adult men consume caffeinated drinks.
The most popular is coffee. But, as with any stimulants, some problems may appear when abused. So what is useful and why coffee can be harmful for a man?
How does coffee affect a man?
First you need to decide what is usually called the word "coffee". This is a drink brewed from roasted and ground coffee tree beans.
The main active ingredients are two alkaloids: caffeine and theobromine. Caffeine begins to act immediately and lasts 20-25 minutes. It narrows the vessels of all organs except the kidneys.
In all organs, blood pressure rises, and in the kidneys it decreases. After 25-30 minutes, the action of caffeine passes and theobromine begins to act (approximately 60 minutes). Its effect is the opposite - everywhere the vessels dilate, and in the kidneys narrow.
Therefore, coffee should be washed down with a glass of water to prevent violations of the water-salt metabolism. All soluble, granular products from cans, sachets, etc., and so on are not really coffee, but just coffee-flavored drinks that contain only theobromine do not give a "bouncy", and therefore you feel sleepy after such coffee.
One cup of coffee contains:
Riboflavin (Vitamin B2): 11% of daily intake.
Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5): 6%.
Manganese and potassium: 3%.
Magnesium and niacin (B3): 2%.
The mechanism of action and effects of caffeine
Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant like nicotine, cocaine, cathinone, ephedrine and others. It enhances the action of the cardiovascular system, improves mood, mental and physical performance, improves memory, alertness, tones up, relieves drowsiness, and increases urination. In general, it causes effects similar to adrenaline, due to blocking of adenosines - inhibitory neurotransmitters in the brain, and the accumulation of norepinephrine and dopamine, which leads to increased firing of neurons.
Caffeine is the most commonly used psychoactive substance in the world.
But you need to understand that caffeine is a kind of legal drug, that is, it can be addictive when consumed in excess of 1000 mg / day, psychological and physical dependence is theism. The addiction is expressed in the fact that at the beginning a serving of coffee can charge with vigor for the whole night, and over time the same amount of drink will last for 1-2 hours. Then a sharp decrease in productivity and the need to increase dosage or rest. Caffeine withdrawal may result in general lethargy, apathy, drowsiness, and bruising.

In combination with the stresses associated with work, family, finances, environmental factors, social obligations, etc., caffeine addiction creates a very unhealthy cocktail, which can indirectly affect potency.
