I used to have 2-3 cups of chai everyday before and now im scared to even drink one. matlab how much is actually ok? trying to cut down but missing it honestly.
I know you must be craving your daily brew, but try to limit it to just one cup a day, okay? Remember that cola, chocolates, and green tea also have caffeine, so keep track of those as well.
Actually, yaar, I couldn't survive without my afternoon coffee. My gynac told me up to 200mg is completely fine, so I stuck to one cup of Nescafe and felt zero guilt.
I completely stopped coffee and shifted to warm ginger-cardamom tea or hot milk with some saffron. If you are having severe withdrawal headaches though, please don't suffer and consult your doctor.
I have restricted myself to just half a cup of chai in the morning now. Is anyone else experiencing mild headaches after cutting down their caffeine intake?
From my experience, staying under 150-200 mg of caffeine a day is quite safe. I followed this limit during pregnancy and still follow it while breastfeeding so my baby doesn't stay awake at night!
I totally understand how hard it is to let go of your favorite morning coffee, especially on those exhausting days. Just try to reduce the quantity to a small cup for the baby's safety, you can do this, dear!
I had to be extra careful with my diet and cut down sugar completely, so I also cut down caffeine to just one unsweetened cup of light chai. Less caffeine actually helped reduce my acidity as well.
Honestly, I am not a doctor, but personally, I just restricted myself to one cup of light milk tea (chai) in the morning. That was enough for my sanity and my baby was perfectly fine.
The general medical consensus is to limit caffeine to under 200 mg per day. That translates to roughly one small mug of filter coffee or two cups of normal chai. Just try to keep it moderate.
