Have you ever noticed that after drinking coffee every day— you become less affected by it?
You can have two, three, or even four cups without any apparent side effects?
What you’re experiencing is tolerance.
You’re “tolerating” the caffeine in the coffee because you’re body is less responsive to it than before you drank it everyday.
Tolerance is a common phenomenon in the medical industry with pharmaceutical drugs— and it can be a big problem.
The problem is that as tolerance increases, the dose also needs to increase. Eventually, the effective dose can become so high it becomes dangerous through its effects on other organs, especially the liver and kidneys.
It’s therefore useful to understand ways to manage tolerance so that the effective dose can remain within safe levels.
