Are there any benefits to caffeine consumption?
Yes. Caffeine can temporarily improve mental alertness and provide a physical jolt of energy. Caffeine is also an ingredient in most pain relief medications and is often especially effective in treating headaches, including migraines. Caffeine is used in some treatments of sleep apnea in newborns because of its ability to stimulate breathing. In addition, it has also been used to stimulate breathing in people who have overdosed on opiate-based drugs.
