Coffee lovers are less likely to experience heart rhythm disturbances.
The maximum permissible daily dose of caffeine is about 400 milligrams, which is equivalent to three to four cups of coffee. This is reported by the Daily Mail.
Scientists have found that regular coffee consumption may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and stroke. Additionally, coffee lovers are less likely to experience heart rhythm disturbances. Experts attribute this to the stimulating effect of caffeine and the presence of antioxidants in the drink that have anti-inflammatory effects.
It is important to note that the caffeine content depends on the brewing method. For instance, in espresso, the amount varies from 40 to 80 milligrams, while in filter coffee it can exceed 150 milligrams. Cappuccinos and similar milk-based drinks usually contain the same amount of caffeine, as they are made with one or two shots of espresso.
Exceeding the safe dose can lead to side effects such as insomnia, anxiety, increased heart rate, and digestive disorders. For those unaccustomed to caffeine, a temporary increase in blood pressure may occur. It is also worth remembering that coffee can stain tooth enamel. The degree of staining depends on the chlorogenic acid content, which varies depending on the type of beans and the brewing method.
