A ritual and a necessity. For the vast majority of Italians, coffee is the first drink to be taken early in the morning to start the day. To awaken us from numbness, to improve our mood and give us some tone. It is no coincidence that we take more than one. During a break, after lunch and maybe a little more. But we should all know what the limit is. In fact, according to science, not everyone knows how many coffees we can drink every day to have benefits and not damage health.
How many coffees
Research on the subject is numerous. Many are useful in debunking false beliefs and revealing risks and benefits. Already in 2015 the ESFA (European Food Safety Authority) made clear and set limits. Specifically, it set the ceiling for a daily dose of between 200 and 400mg. That is, a maximum of 5 cups of espresso. But the debate is advancing and often the positions are conflicting.
Research
A more recent study by the University of South Australia considers the cut-off posology. The analysis focuses mainly on the possible correlation with cardiovascular problems. According to the study published in an authoritative American academic journal, six or more cups of coffee could negatively affect cardiovascular risk. In order not to run risks, however, we should stay below this threshold. The study shows that the consumption of six espresso coffees or more than six leads to a 22% increase in cardiovascular risk compared to those who have a lower number.
Moderation first of all
According to science, not everyone knows how many coffees we can drink every day to have benefits and not harm our health. And for this we have revealed it based on reliable sources. Because knowledge is the first rule of prevention. A conscious and moderate choice even brings benefits. But what are they?
Coffee helps digestion because it stimulates gastric and biliary secretion. It still has an energetic effect because it stimulates circulation and the nervous system. Plus, it can be a little help for fitness. In fact, it stimulates the use of fat in the body and increases the amount of calories burned.
