Caffeine and Covid-19
As people are spending more and more time
at their homes, there are bound to be changes in their lifestyles and eating
habits; the primary reason being the easy access to everything. Be it in the
form of munchies or caffeine our diets are no longer the same. And all this
is happening without people realizing this fact. So, to bring this issue into
the cognizance of the world, we conducted a poll with 1,801 respondents. We
asked them a simple question of whether their caffeine intake had increased at
home, to which the majority replied with an affirmative. 41.03% and 19.43% of
the respondents now drink two to four cups of tea and coffee, respectively, in
a day. 8.50% and 3.50% of the respondents claim that they consume more than five
cups of tea and coffee, respectively, in a day. Only a small group of
respondents (19.38%) seem to be conscious of their eating patterns as they keep
a tab of their caffeine intake. At the other end of the spectrum lives a group
of respondents (8.16%) who do not consume tea or coffee at all. It seems they
are a lucky lot who needn't worry about their caffeine intake during the
pandemic.
