Coffee. It’s literally the first thing I think of when I wake up because I legit can not function until I’ve had at least 2 cups. 💤
• Does drinking coffee make you dehydrated? As long as you’re drinking caffeine in moderation, then the answer is NO.¹ • According to the USDA Dietary Guidelines, healthy adults can safely consume up to 4️⃣0️⃣0️⃣mg of caffeine a day.² On average, one cup of ☕️ contains around 96mg of caffeine while one cup of tea 🍵contains around 30mg. The FDA warns not to consume more than 1,200mg of caffeine per day because that’s when negative health effects could start to occur.³ You likely won’t reach this level by simply drinking coffee, but be careful with caffeine supplements 💊. • Enjoy that morning coffee, don’t be afraid about dehydrating yourself, but don’t over do it. #NoshItFoodFacts ___ ¹ Killer, Sophie C., Andrew K.
