☕ COFFEE & HEALTH: What does the research say?
Good news for coffee lovers! According to Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, drinking around 3–5 standard cups of coffee daily—approximately 400 mg of caffeine—is generally considered moderate intake.
Research has associated regular, moderate coffee consumption with a lower risk of several chronic diseases. A plain 8-ounce cup of black coffee also contains only about two calories.
However, everyone responds differently to caffeine. Too much may cause anxiety, jitteriness, insomnia, or a faster heart rate. Those who have difficulty controlling their blood pressure should moderate their intake. Pregnant women are advised to consume less than 200 mg of caffeine daily.
Remember: adding plenty of sugar, cream, and flavored syrups can significantly increase your coffee’s calories.
