Is Moderated Caffeine Good? (if so how much and how often)?

Question

I have never engaged in caffeine except in rare circumstance where I take Excedrin due to a headache/migraine. However, after reading about the enhanced mental state from caffeine and trying a cup of coffee a few days ago, discovering it improved my focus; I think I might want to take it fairly regularly. Does this sound like a good idea? If yes, How often and how much should I take it to avoid any tolerance or dependence?(in other words, lots of benefit with practically no detriment) And along with that, am I ignorant of something I should know that would play a role?(I hardly know what caffeine feels like)

Answer 1

Caffeine for some people will become less effective over time and you will want to drink more to get the same level of focus. And your body becomes dependent on it and you won’t feel good if you stop drinking it. Withdrawal headaches are very common. I recommend to use it only on occasion to maintain maximum effectiveness. To maintain good brain health you should follow the standard advice of getting enough sleep and eating well. Try stress reducing activities like exercise, yoga, meditation to calm your body.
