Is Coffee Good or Bad for Your Health??

Thanks, malou03ph, and welcome to myLot! As long as you don´t get any problems, and feel good about it, it must be OK. Coffee is a social drink where I live, so it can be a good thing to be used to a little coffee. Otherwise the heart will perhaps react on the sudden caffeine.

yeah right..

Hi, donnaheff, Welcome to myLot! If I want to detoxify my body, I´ll drink clean water and eat lots of fruit and vegetables. If I want to boost my memory, I would see to that I get good fats including Omega3.. If you find some research about caffeine, please let me know. It would be good to avoid it if it leads to sickness in the long run. Thanks for your response..

Yes, I have also heard that caffeine can do some good in some cases and it is good to know if someone has an asthma attack that it can help. I know that if we are used to get our dose of caffeine, and one day don´t get it, we can get headaches but it may also help for those who are not used to coffee. Better continue to do more research.

Hi, eileenleyva. That is about what I drink every day too, and have not so far had any problem with it. I buy ecological coffee, and hope it has not so many harmful ingredients as ordinary coffee. It tastes actually better too. So we can go on drinking coffee - it is also a social drink, so people in our country come together for a coffee break and can relax from their work for a while.

Yes, better not take too much of anything. Maybe the recommendation of four cups a day - max, could be good, but we are individuals, so everyone has to decide how much they can tolerate.

I understand your reaction the first time. Those who are not used to coffee, have problems to sleep - especially if they drink in the evening and more than just a little. I know a woman who has been drinking coffee for decades and she takes a little coffee to be able to sleep.. Well we are different and that is ok! Thanks for your response..

That is what I have heard too. Some people say that it is only rumors to increase the coffee drinking, well, who knows, but as you said, moderate drinking can be good for you and at least no harm.. ....and I have also heard that it makes women sleepy and wakes up men..something to do with the hormones I guess..

I think you may be right..

Hi, JenIn - just saw you comment, sorry for the time it took to answer. It looks like some people can drink lots and lots and have no problems but some have to leave the coffee completely. I read that it is ok to drink coffee, if you are not stressed. The stress hormones or whatever they call them, are not good combined with caffeine. It may be easier to handle stress without drinking coffee. Well, I am not too stressed, so I think I´ll have a cup. Have a great day..

Well, one cup a day cannot do any harm.. I have heard that even four cups a day is ok..

Well, I think we can survive without coffee. It is easy to reduce it if you take it slowly. Then you don´t get the side effects like headace. Thanks for your response and have a great day - with or without coffee..
