Avoid Drinking Too Much

Even though coffee might be beneficial in moderation, excessive use can counter some of the benefits. Although individual susceptibility differs, excessive caffeine use may have a number of negative side effects. Drinking too much coffee increases your body’s activity. In fact, it also can cause anxiety, problems with your nerves, as well as tachycardia. Therefore, it can lead to many health problems.

Health Canada advises against using more than 1.1 mg per pound (2.5 mg per kg) of body weight each day. For a person who weighs 176 pounds (80 kg) and an average cup of coffee has 95 mg of caffeine, this equates to around two cups of coffee per day. However, significantly greater doses of caffeine (400-600 mg daily, or around 4-6 cups) are not often linked to any negative side effects in most people. It all comes down to weighing the benefits and hazards of coffee consumption. Consume only as much as your body can tolerate comfortably while paying attention to it.
