Here’s how much coffee you can have in a day
    2021-02-05  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

IS there really such a thing as having too much coffee? Hate to break it to you, but yes. You really can have too much of a good thing. But when it comes to the actual limit of how much coffee you can have in a day, the number is a lot higher than you would expect. In fact, according to the Mayo Clinic, you can have at least four cups of coffee on a daily basis.

Surprisingly, caffeine has a lot of great health benefits for a person’s body. According to one study published by Longevity & Healthspan, drinking caffeine on a regular basis can actually extend your life. Caffeine also improves your memory and mental functioning, speeds up your reaction times, and of course, decreases your fatigue.

But as we said, there is such thing as having too much caffeine. According to Healthline, drinking more than 1,000 milligrams of caffeine a day can cause negative effects on the body including increased anxiety, insomnia and digestive issues. And while drinking caffeinated coffee has shown to increase longevity, drinking too much coffee can actually have the opposite effect.

Drinking more than four cups of coffee, the Mayo Clinic said, may lead to some serious side effects including frequent headaches, insomnia, nervousness, irritability, frequent urination, fast heartbeat and muscle tremors. It can also wreak havoc on your sleep patterns if you’re drinking coffee later in the afternoon.

If you’re in need of a hot beverage in the late afternoon, you can always brew yourself a pot of green tea — which is also full of all kinds of health benefits. (SD-Agencies)
