Diet and lifestyle factors can have a substantial effect on our health, including drinking coffee every day. According to research published by The New England Journal of Medicine in 2022, people who drink two to five cups per day were significantly less likely to die than those who abstained from this beverage.

This may be in part due to research showing that those who consume more than two to three cups of caffeinated coffee per day have lower risks of type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure, both major contributors to mortality. Caffeine may also help control blood sugar, thus decreasing risk factors like heart disease and diabetes.

Coffee drinking can also benefit your health due to the compounds contained in it that improve metabolic function and reduce inflammation. One such compound, chlorogenic acid, flips a switch in your liver that prompts cells to use fat as fuel rather than glucose for fuel instead.

Caffeine found in coffee can help alleviate headaches and increase mental alertness, making it easier for individuals to focus at work or school. A team of researchers recently concluded that drinking one cup an hour prior to beginning office-related tasks prevented neck and shoulder pain as well as helped participants complete tasks more quickly.

These effects of coffee are similar to that of exercise, leading researchers to claim that regular consumption can improve performance at work or play and reduce chances of becoming sick. Of course, coffee should never replace eating healthily or exercising regularly!

People who eat a healthy, nutritional diet and get enough rest have significantly lower risks of health problems compared to those who don’t. Although abstainers of caffeine were more likely to die early than moderate coffee drinkers (both caffeinated and decaffeinated) according to data gathered from middle aged women who were followed for 30 years later.

Coffee offers numerous health advantages, yet too much caffeine can cause adverse side effects such as anxiety, heartburn and insomnia. Furthermore, those sensitive to caffeine should limit themselves to no more than 400 mg daily.

Though caffeine overdosing is possible, this is rare as the amount necessary to trigger symptoms is very large. Furthermore, your genetic makeup can play a factor in how your body metabolizes caffeine; some individuals may be able to drink more without experiencing adverse side effects than others; in general though 4-5 cups per day seem optimal for most.
