As a coffee lover, you have no doubt wondered <\/span>how many coffees you can drink a day<\/b>. After all, you know that caffeine is an <\/span>indispensable ally in getting through the day<\/b>, even more so if it is particularly stressful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We, who know about coffee, are the first to admit that there are days when sleepiness and fatigue take over. In those cases, <\/span>drinking one cup of coffee after another appears to be the only possible way to survive<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

That said, <\/span>abusing caffeine is never a good idea<\/b>, even if we realise that the temptation is often irresistible. Nonetheless, it is necessary to moderate oneself and, in this article, we explain why, while <\/span>debunking some myths <\/b>that would see coffee as a real enemy of health.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

What is a safe quantity of caffeine<\/b><\/h2>\n

Notwithstanding the fact that <\/span>it is not possible to establish a maximum amount of caffeine that is safe for everyone<\/b>, doctors seem to agree that it would be best <\/span>not to exceed 300 milligrams<\/b> over a day – an amount that roughly corresponds to <\/span>three cups of espresso<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The problem, however, is that asking how much coffee one can drink per day is only correct up to a point. This is because it is certainly not the drink itself that causes side effects, but rather the <\/span>caffeine it contains<\/b>. A subtlety, the latter, that implies a big difference, due to the simple fact that caffeine is not only present in coffee, but also in <\/span>many other substances that we habitually consume<\/b> and of which we must therefore take into account in our daily calculations. Just to give you some practical examples, you can reach the <\/span>300-milligram daily caffeine target<\/b> by taking:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 6 cups of tea;<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 10 cans of Coke;<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 8 cups of hot chocolate;<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 400 grams of extra dark chocolate.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Have you noticed something strange? You will no doubt have noticed that <\/span>coffee does not feature at all<\/b> in the list we have given you. Which means that you can paradoxically reach (and exceed!) your daily caffeine limit even <\/span>without drinking coffee<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    All you have to do is take any of the drinks\/foods on the list, in the quantities indicated, or mix them together in the same day… and you’ve reached (and exceeded!) your caffeine limit. The question is: <\/span>what are the consequences for your body then<\/b>?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

    What are the effects of caffeine<\/b><\/h2>\n

    As we have already mentioned, the effects of caffeine manifest themselves when you <\/span>exceed the recommended daily dose<\/b> of <\/span>300 milligrams<\/b>. This figure, however, refers to an <\/span>adult person with a healthy constitution who is already used to drinking coffee<\/b>. If we also consider people who almost never drink coffee, people with illnesses and children, then the maximum permitted amount will inevitably be <\/span>lowered<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    In telling you this, however, we certainly don’t want to deprive you of your favourite drink! Precisely because we know about coffee, we are the first to recognise the <\/span>indisputable benefits that caffeine brings to our organism<\/b>. The moment we introduce this substance into our bodies, we immediately feel more alert, more active and more willing to face a stressful day.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Caffeine is also good for <\/span>helping us to cope with sleep and tiredness<\/b>: two sworn enemies that slow down our work and, in general, the activities we perform, adversely affecting our performance. This, of course, as long as we <\/span>do not overdo it<\/b>. If, in fact, the post-lunch nap is a luxury for the few (and certainly not necessary), a good night’s sleep is, on the other hand, of <\/span>primary importance<\/b> to allow us to live the day that follows it to the fullest.<\/span><\/p>\n

    It is precisely in this sense that it is necessary to avoid abusing caffeine which, taken in excessive doses, can cause <\/span>dangerous insomnia<\/b>, together with stomach <\/span>acidity, oesophagitis, and gastro-oesophageal reflux<\/b>: all conditions which, although not serious, are undoubtedly annoying and could force you to follow a diet not only free of coffee, but also of many notoriously good and tasty foods!<\/span><\/p>\n

    While these side effects of caffeine are well established, the alleged <\/span>cardiac problems caused by coffee intake<\/b> are a different matter, which, according to the latest research, do not exist at all.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

    Coffee is not an enemy of the heart<\/b><\/h2>\n

    \"effetti<\/p>\n

    When we think of coffee, our thoughts instantly fly to <\/span>caffeine<\/b>, the <\/span>main component of this beverage<\/b>. The main one, however, certainly does not mean the only one. Coffee contains other <\/span>important substances<\/b>, some of which have been shown to have <\/span>positive effects on the heart and the cardiovascular system in general<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Several studies carried out on <\/span>people with heart disease<\/b>, who had already had a heart attack, showed that drinking 2 to 4 cups of coffee a day <\/span>did not make their condition any worse<\/b>, and the credit for this result was not due to the caffeine, but to the <\/span>substances contained within the coffee beans<\/b>, particularly the <\/span>polyphenols and antioxidant principles<\/b>, which are worthy of protecting our heart and the work it does.<\/span><\/p>\n

    In addition to this, it should also be noted that regular consumption of coffee allows the body to <\/span>develop tolerance<\/b> to this beverage, <\/span>thus<\/b> preventing the onset of hypertension<\/b>. This is also due to <\/span>chlorogenic acid<\/b>: another substance contained in coffee that <\/span>helps to dampen its effects on blood pressure<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    In conclusion, if until now you have been wondering how many coffees to drink a day because you were worried about your heart health, know that in this respect you are <\/span>not running any kind of risk<\/b> and that the benefits of this drink are much more extensive than you can imagine.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

    Coffee against chronic diseases<\/b><\/h2>\n

    As if the benefits we have listed so far were not enough, it seems that coffee is also able to <\/span>prevent the onset of certain chronic diseases<\/b>. A <\/span>2012<\/b> study in the prestigious <\/span>New England Journal of Medicine<\/i><\/b> showed that <\/span>people who were used to drinking 2 to 5 cups of coffee a day were less likely to develop chronic diseases<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    This finding was massively corroborated in the case of <\/span>type 2 diabetes<\/b>, the incidence of which was found to have fallen sharply due to several <\/span>caffeine-induced concomitant factors<\/b>, including reduced appetite, increased energy intake and better body weight management.<\/span><\/p>\n

    All this, of course, if we consider the <\/span>caffeine contained in coffee and bitter tea<\/b>, as adding sugar and other foods containing it would not have the same effects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    But diabetes is certainly not the only disease that has a positive correlation with coffee. Numerous studies have shown that the habitual consumption of this beverage can <\/span>ward off some particularly serious forms of cancer<\/b>, primarily liver and cervical cancer, but also skin, breast and prostate cancer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    It goes without saying, of course, that this is <\/span>still ongoing research<\/b>, the results of which have not been definitively confirmed, but, more importantly, they do not presume to <\/span>substitute coffee for the normal drugs prescribed by doctors<\/b>. In fact, remember that, given all its countless benefits, you should always consider coffee as a pleasant ally to face your days with more energy and <\/span>certainly not as a medicine<\/b>.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

    Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n

    If you have read this far, you will have officially convinced yourself that although exceeding 300-milligrams of caffeine per day <\/span>is not a particularly wise choice<\/b>, it is not a lethal danger either. Consumed in the right quantities, in fact, <\/span>coffee provides you with numerous benefits<\/b>, while at the same time representing a veritable ‘nirvana’ for the taste buds, especially if it is prepared properly.<\/span><\/p>\n

    After all, it is no secret that if you want to drink a good cup of coffee, <\/span>you should do so with the right machine<\/b>: a tool that can ensure you a coffee worthy of the name, one that does not make you regret the coffee from the bar in the slightest.<\/span><\/p>\n
