Coffee has many benefits, but it can only be effective if you drink it right. How to drink coffee is healthier?

1. Be sure to choose plain coffee

Hanging-ear coffee is also a good choice. Capsule coffee is also popular now. It grinds the beans and puts them in a capsule of special material, which can be brewed directly into hot water. It is as simple as a tea bag. It is also known as "office coffee" because it saves time. If you drink coffee in a cafe, you'd better choose American coffee without cream and sugar.

After studying caffeine in the Dietary guidelines for American residents, healthy people drink 3 to 5 cups of coffee a day as part of a healthy diet. Many domestic experts suggest that it is best not to exceed 3 cups a day (about 200 milliliters per cup).

Morning is the best time
