1. how can caffeine be broken down faster in the body?
Like alcohol, caffeine is broken down via the liver. Since the liver is well supplied with blood and the body's blood circulates, the caffeine is also processed there. The enzyme cytochrome from the liver deactivates the caffeine so that it can no longer reach the receptors of the nerve cells. The caffeine is then excreted via the urinary tract. Caffeine usually has a half-life of four hours. Normally, the effect of the caffeine usually wears off after three to four hours. In order for the caffeine to be broken down more quickly in the body, more water should be drunk. The liquid stabilizes the circulation and can prevent possible dehydration.
Substances such as alcohol and smoking accelerate the breakdown of caffeine, as they stimulate the organism to produce more cytochrome.
