While chai and coffee are beloved for their stimulating effects, excessive consumption can lead to a host of problems including anxiety, sleep disturbances, headaches, digestive issues, high blood pressure, and even emotional and mental health concerns like addiction and impaired stress resilience. The recommended daily caffeine intake is about 400mg, equivalent to roughly 4 cups of brewed coffee, but sensitivity varies per individual. To avoid negative effects, it's crucial to practice moderation by tracking intake, opting for decaf, exploring alternatives, staying hydrated, and prioritizing sleep. This approach allows for enjoyment of these beverages without adverse health impacts.
