  • Is coffee actually good for you? How many cups a day is considered healthy? Is drip coffee worse than espresso? Joe Avella and Jessica Orwig answer these questions and more on the Facebook series "Science the $#!* out of it."
    Turns out, coffee is good for you. But there's more to the story. There's a limit to how much caffeine you should drink. The FDA recommends no more than 400 mg of caffeine per day.
    But be careful about what time of day you drink coffee, especially if you're sensitive to caffeine's effects. The half-life of caffeine is about six hours. So, if you have a cup of coffee at 8 am, 25% of the caffeine in that cup will still be in your system by 8 pm.
    So, having coffee with your breakfast is probably better than sipping it with your dessert. Learn more about coffee as Avella and Orwig hash it out.

    I ❤ love to drink a big cup in the AM, which is my reason for getting out of bed 🤣
    I used to have a cup after lunch (never with sugar.) However, it would only make me tired. So, speaking of science, I conducted an experiment. I switched to ginger or peppermint herbal tea. The hydration and herbs gave me the boost I was seeking and removed the draining feeling of caffeine. And I fell asleep easier at bedtime.
    The best ginger tea is Tulsi Lemon Ginger, by Organic India, hands down, IMHO. But it’s best in cooler months because ginger is heating. But Tulsi tea (without ginger) is amazing all year, it’s both relaxing and energizing - yay🎉

It also increases stomach acid which irritates the GI tract which could also effect how well you sleep and will last longer than the 12 hours....A cup of cool water in the morning can give a healthier bump to your metabolism as your body has to heat it to 98.7 degrees.

    in my own experience, 1 cup of coffee every day, side effects!!! it clearly affects your nervous system , your mind learns to ignore this, but not your body, because it affects your nervous system, it leads to hair loss related to too much anxiety , it also produces the effect on some people, called vertigo!!! warning this is very dangerous because it happens while driving. some people call it panic attacks!!! it's your body with too much stress and anxiety from 1 cup of coffee per day. CONCLUSION: HAIR LOSS, VERTIGO(panic attacks while driving).
