Zhao Qiang, a dietitian at Mackay Hospital, points out that 45 to 50 minutes after drinking coffee, the concentration of caffeine in the blood is the highest, and the efficacy can be maintained for about 3 to 4 hours.

Generally speaking, most adults have a good tolerance for caffeine, but as they get older, people who drink a few cups of coffee may have trouble sleeping because of a decline in metabolism.

So, should old people avoid drinking coffee? Wang Pei-ning, a neurologist at Jung General College in Taipei, believes that age is not the main factor in stopping drinking coffee, but it depends on whether this person is used to drinking coffee on weekdays. If he already has a daily habit of drinking coffee, he doesn't have to stop even in his old age, but if he hasn't, he doesn't need to start drinking coffee just because it contains antioxidants that are good for health.

A survey by Brown University in the United States can also echo that middle-aged and elderly people who drink less than one cup of coffee a day may stimulate their nerves and lead to vascular blockage and stroke if they get up early in the morning, which is six times more likely than normal people. however, for people who drink coffee regularly (in the study, four cups of coffee a day), the risk of stroke does not increase.
