Coffee...taste of Life

Coffee..coffee..My day starts with a sip of coffee...and I think most of the people also do the same thing.When I was young my mom used to scream at me saying not to drink coffee as it is not good for health. My sister also used to say coffee is not good for health so don't drink it but now she is addicted to coffee. I feel like I am in heaven when I drink coffee. Everyone says that if we drink coffee, we wont get sleep...I drink coffee in the night around 11 thinking that I can study all the night but I sleep with in an hour after I drink it. This sounds something different for you all. Now a days I drink coffee for three or four times in a day to withstand the stress from work. If I was at home my Mom would have controlled me from drinking coffee too many times but no one is here to control me..I miss you mom.

Any ways now I am thinking to reduce the amount of coffee I take everyday. I advice all of you not to drink more than 2-3 cups of coffee per day. 2-3 cups of coffee is not harmful to health and has some health benefits. Various studies has shown that 2-3 cups of coffee(5-10g of coffee powder) lowers the chance of developing Alzheimeir's disease, Diabetes, Parkinsons disease. Also there are some negative effects of drinking more coffee...it may lead to iron deficiency anemia, heartburn and some life threatening side effects. Actually these health effects are all due to presence of caffeine in coffee. This caffeine has some stimulatory effect on humans. It is generally degraded by the enzymatic system of liver. So in a healthy liver most of the caffeine is degraded by the liver and some undegraded caffeine is excreted through urine. Elderly people who do not have a proper enzymatic system cannot tolerate more amount of coffee as it is not degraded. many doctors advice the people to take decaffeinated coffee.

So guys drink coffee but get hold of how much amount of coffee you drink everyday.
