Coffee and Health | should I drink more coffee or not?

We love coffee. Except for water, we only want to drink coffee. Coffee is the second most popular drink in the world. Its charm is irresistible. But have you ever thought about giving up coffee? Is drinking too much coffee harmful to your health? Can coffee prevent pancreatic cancer or kidney cancer? Will coffee make your blood pressure rise in a straight line? This series of questions finally came to light. After a long period of research, scientists have confirmed that drinking coffee is indeed good for health. Recently, the American Nutrition and Diet guidance Association announced that drinking five cups of coffee a day (equivalent to 400 milligrams of caffeine) will not cause any harm to the human body. At the same time, studies have shown that drinking coffee can effectively prevent type 2 diabetes and heart disease. In addition, other scientists have confirmed that drinking coffee can effectively prevent Parkinson's disease. But at the same time, we must realize that consuming too much caffeine can have a series of adverse effects on the human body. Especially minors, teenagers and children should avoid consuming too much caffeine. Even adults should control their caffeine intake. Consuming too much caffeine can lead to insomnia, limb tremors and heart palpitations. As long as the amount of coffee is just right, drinking coffee every day will definitely not harm your health.

By coffee, we mean plain coffee or coffee with milk, not a high-calorie drink with sugar or cream. Coffee does protect against pancreatic, liver, breast and prostate cancer, according to 59 studies. Since the randomness of these studies is still open to question, we can't say 100% that you won't get cancer as long as you drink coffee. But the evidence suggests that coffee drinkers are much less likely to develop pancreatic cancer than normal people. Coffee contains thousands of substances, some of which do have anti-cancer functions, such as caffeic acid can inhibit tumor growth, caffeic alcohol can effectively inhibit cell oxidation so that it can resist cancer cell invasion and so on. Other studies have shown that drinking four cups of coffee a day can reduce the risk of stroke.

But it is worth noting that the amount of coffee consumed by the human body should not exceed 5 cups a day. If you are a pregnant woman, you can only drink up to 2 cups of coffee a day. These studies only prove that coffee drinkers are less likely to develop cancer or Parkinson's disease than ordinary people, but scientists have never said that drinking coffee can cure the disease. The chemical structure of coffee is so complex that it is too early to draw a conclusion. Other studies have shown that non-caffeine coffee is not as healthy as regular coffee. But at least we can confirm that drinking coffee every day is definitely good for your health!
