Nutrition Facts: Alcohol, Antioxidants, Caffeine And Calcium

In this article you will learn some simple nutrition facts about
alcohol, antioxidants, caffeine and calcium.

Too much alcohol can raise the levels of fats in the blood, lead
to high blood pressure, heart failure and increased calories.
Too many calories lead to obesity and a higher risk of
developing diabetes.  Excessive and binge drinking can lead to
stroke.



The American Heart Association recommends if you drink alcohol,
do so in moderation.  Moderation means an average of one to two
drinks per day for men and one drink per day for women.  A drink
is equivalent to 12 oz. of beer, 4 oz. of wine, 1.5 oz. of
80-proof spirits, or 1 oz. of 100-proof spirits.  Drinking more
than this increases all the health risks as noted above.  In
addition, it is not possible to predict in which people
alcoholism will become a problem.  The American Heart
Association cautions people not to start drinking if they do not
already drink alcohol.

Pregnant women should not drink alcohol in any form; it can harm
the baby seriously.

Caffeine

The metabolic effects of caffeine include:

• Stimulates the central nervous system
• Releases free fatty acids from adipose (fatty) tissue
• Affects the kidneys by increasing urination, which can lead to
dehydration

Caffeine is found in coffee, tea, soft drinks, chocolate and
some nuts.

The American Heart Association says moderate coffee drinking
(1-2 cups per day does not seem to be harmful.

Caffeine withdrawal symptoms may occur 12 to 24 hours after the
last dose of caffeine in individuals who are habitual caffeine
drinkers.  The most prominent symptom is headache.  Other
withdrawal symptoms may include:

• Anxiety
• Fatigue
• Drowsiness
• Depression

Although many studies show there is a direct link between
caffeine, coffee drinking and coronary heart disease, the
results are conflicting.

Calcium

To help reduce the risk of developing the bone disease
osteoporosis most physicians encourage women to eat fat-free and
low-fat dairy products to get calcium.

The American Heart Association recommends women should aim to
consume between 1,000 and 1,200 milligrams of calcium each day.
Excellent sources of calcium include:

• Fat-free milk
• Low-fat dairy products

Other sources of calcium include:

• Eating vegetable greens like spinach, kale and broccoli
• Some legumes and soybean products

To date, scientists do not have enough information to know if
calcium intake affects the risk of developing cardiovascular
disease.

Adequate daily intake according to data from the National
Academy of Sciences, Institute of Medicine includes:

• 210 mg for infants from birth to 6 months, 270 mg for age 6
months to 1 year
• 500 mg for children age 1-3; 800 mg for ages 4-8
• 1,300 mg for children and adolescents age 9-18
• 1,000 mg for adults ages 19-50 (for maximal calcium retention)

• 1,200 mg for adults ages 51 and older
• 1300 mg for women who are pregnant and under age 19; 1000 mg
for pregnant women ages 19-50
