For some, it's the most important \"meal\" of the day. In fact, coffee consumption is at a 20-year high, according to the\nNational Coffee Association\n, and more than\n2.25 billion\ncups of coffee are consumed worldwide each day. That's a whole lotta coffee beans!\nWhile many people can't imagine a day without their beloved cup, it does raise the question: Is drinking that much coffee actually good for you? We spoke with nutritionists to get to the bottom of whether the benefits of coffee really outweigh its drawbacks. Here's what we learned.\nThe Health Benefits Of Coffee\nCoffee contains\nnutrients\nlike magnesium and\npolyphenols\n, in addition to caffeine. It's also rich in antioxidants, and experts say studies suggest it may offer several potential health benefits, including\nimproved cognitive function\nand a reduced risk of certain chronic conditions, such as\ncancer\n,\nParkinson's disease\n, and Type 2 diabetes\n.\nBridget Wood\n, RD, LD, CDCES, says it may also help boost energy and metabolism.\nAs\nLauren Manaker\n, MS, RDN, LD, explains, \"When it comes to drinking coffee every day, the general consensus is that it is typically okay for most people.\" However,\nNaria Le Mire\n, MPH, RD, recommends limiting coffee to one cup per day. \"Ideally after a balanced breakfast rather than on an empty stomach,\" she says, \"to support stable energy and nutrient intake.\"\nLe Mire also notes that avoiding coffee within 10 hours of bedtime is important for supporting sleep and healthy circadian rhythms.\nThe Potential Pitfalls Of Coffee\nCaffeine\n, a stimulant, is the primary concern with coffee. \"Caffeine content in coffee can vary depending on factors such as the type of\ncoffee beans\n, brewing method, and serving size,\"\nLorraine Kearney,\nRD, CDN, explains. A standard cup of coffee can contain anywhere from 95 to 200 milligrams of caffeine, which is a pretty big range.\nThe\nFDA\ncites 400 milligrams of caffeine per day \"as an amount not generally associated with negative effects.\" But caffeine's impact varies from person to person, depending on how sensitive an individual is to caffeine and how quickly they metabolize it.\nKearney says that high coffee consumption may lead to anxiety, digestive issues, muscle tremors, headaches, caffeine dependency, and\ninterference with calcium absorption\n(which can affect bone density, among other things). Excessive caffeine can also raise heart rate and blood pressure. She recommends that people with medical conditions such as heart problems, acid reflux, or anxiety disorders limit or avoid coffee. Pregnant women are also generally advised to limit their caffeine intake to 200 milligrams per day.\n\"For individuals with IBS or similar conditions, coffee's natural laxative effect can trigger bowel movements or worsen symptoms,\" Le Mire explains. \"If you notice this, consider limiting your intake or switching to a less acidic preparation method, like pour-over coffee.\"\nLe Mire also notes that drinking too much coffee may contribute to\nelevated cortisol levels\nover time, which \"may contribute to increased stress, disrupted sleep, and weight gain in the abdominal area, potentially raising the risk of heart disease.\"\nStefania Pelfini la Waziya - Getty Images\nWood adds that drinking too much coffee may also contribute to dehydration if you're not mindful of your water intake. She offers a few ways to minimize coffee's downsides: \"Choose\ndecaf\nor a coffee with a lower caffeine amount, especially earlier in the day to avoid missing out on evening rest and to reduce anxiety impacts,\" she recommends.\nShe's also a proponent of sticking to one cup per day, noting that coffee can sometimes act as an appetite suppressant. Limiting your intake may help prevent skipped meals while also benefiting your sleep and overall health.\nWood also reminds coffee drinkers that \"toppings like flavored syrups or whipped cream can be a hidden source of added sugars or calories.\"\n\"[Be] mindful of the amounts you use when crafting your caffeinated concoctions and look for\ncreamers\nand flavored syrups that use sweeteners such as stevia,\" she says, \"as they can help keep sugar and calorie content at a low level.\" That way, you can still enjoy your favorite flavors without compromising your dietary goals.\nThe Bottom Line\nLike most things, coffee is best enjoyed in moderation. Overdoing it can leave you jittery or even contribute to more serious health issues, but enjoying one or two cups a day—assuming you don’t have any of the conditions mentioned above—may come with some real benefits.\nYou Might Also Like","attrs_markdown":"- [Home](https:\/\/www.aol.com\/ \"Home\")\n- [Roubaix, Nord-Pas-de-Calais Roubaix, Nord-Pas-de-Calais Local News](https:\/\/www.aol.com\/local\/

For some, it's the most important \"meal\" of the day. In fact, coffee consumption is at a 20-year high, according to the [National Coffee Association](https:\/\/www.ncausa.org\/Newsroom\/Daily-coffee-consumption-at-20-year-high-up-nearly-40), and more than [2\\.25 billion](https:\/\/www.driveresearch.com\/market-research-company-blog\/coffee-survey\/) cups of coffee are consumed worldwide each day. That's a whole lotta coffee beans\\!\n\nWhile many people can't imagine a day without their beloved cup, it does raise the question: Is drinking that much coffee actually good for you? We spoke with nutritionists to get to the bottom of whether the benefits of coffee really outweigh its drawbacks. Here's what we learned.\n\n## The Health Benefits Of Coffee\nCoffee contains [nutrients](https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/171890\/nutrients) like magnesium and [polyphenols](https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2835915\/), in addition to caffeine. It's also rich in antioxidants, and experts say studies suggest it may offer several potential health benefits, including [improved cognitive function](https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC8641656\/) and a reduced risk of certain chronic conditions, such as [cancer](https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC9916720\/), [Parkinson's disease](https:\/\/nutritionsource.hsph.harvard.edu\/food-features\/coffee\/)[, and Type 2 diabetes](https:\/\/nutritionsource.hsph.harvard.edu\/food-features\/coffee\/). [Bridget Wood](https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/balancedwithbridgetwood\/?hl=en), RD, LD, CDCES, says it may also help boost energy and metabolism.\n\nAs [Lauren Manaker](https:\/\/www.delish.com\/author\/268873\/lauren-manaker\/), MS, RDN, LD, explains, \"When it comes to drinking coffee every day, the general consensus is that it is typically okay for most people.\" However, [Naria Le Mire](https:\/\/narialemirenutrition.com\/), MPH, RD, recommends limiting coffee to one cup per day. \"Ideally after a balanced breakfast rather than on an empty stomach,\" she says, \"to support stable energy and nutrient intake.\"\n\nLe Mire also notes that avoiding coffee within 10 hours of bedtime is important for supporting sleep and healthy circadian rhythms.\n\n## The Potential Pitfalls Of Coffee\n[Caffeine](https:\/\/www.delish.com\/food-news\/a45814074\/how-much-caffeine-is-dangerous\/), a stimulant, is the primary concern with coffee. \"Caffeine content in coffee can vary depending on factors such as the type of [coffee beans](https:\/\/www.delish.com\/kitchen-tools\/cookware-reviews\/g32147660\/best-coffee-beans-list\/), brewing method, and serving size,\" [Lorraine Kearney,](https:\/\/newyorkcitynutrition.com\/about\/) RD, CDN, explains. A standard cup of coffee can contain anywhere from 95 to 200 milligrams of caffeine, which is a pretty big range.\n\nThe [FDA](https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/consumers\/consumer-updates\/spilling-beans-how-much-caffeine-too-much) cites 400 milligrams of caffeine per day \"as an amount not generally associated with negative effects.\" But caffeine's impact varies from person to person, depending on how sensitive an individual is to caffeine and how quickly they metabolize it.\n\nKearney says that high coffee consumption may lead to anxiety, digestive issues, muscle tremors, headaches, caffeine dependency, and [interference with calcium absorption](https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/34981132\/) (which can affect bone density, among other things). Excessive caffeine can also raise heart rate and blood pressure. She recommends that people with medical conditions such as heart problems, acid reflux, or anxiety disorders limit or avoid coffee. Pregnant women are also generally advised to limit their caffeine intake to 200 milligrams per day.\n\n\"For individuals with IBS or similar conditions, coffee's natural laxative effect can trigger bowel movements or worsen symptoms,\" Le Mire explains. \"If you notice this, consider limiting your intake or switching to a less acidic preparation method, like pour-over coffee.\"\n\nLe Mire also notes that drinking too much coffee may contribute to [elevated cortisol levels](https:\/\/psy.uncg.edu\/habitual-coffee-drinkers-and-cortisol-can-caffeine-help-with-stress\/) over time, which \"may contribute to increased stress, disrupted sleep, and weight gain in the abdominal area, potentially raising the risk of heart disease.\"\n\n![coffee pouring in two mugs](https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/UAyOhqhdk1KPy83ccs8ygg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTEyNDI7aD04Mjk-\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/aol_delish_448\/355423ab11b5fc4dee7fcd28a8b0222f)\n\nStefania Pelfini la Waziya - Getty Images\n\nWood adds that drinking too much coffee may also contribute to dehydration if you're not mindful of your water intake. She offers a few ways to minimize coffee's downsides: \"Choose [decaf](https:\/\/www.delish.com\/food-news\/a60583705\/does-decaf-coffee-cause-cancer\/) or a coffee with a lower caffeine amount, especially earlier in the day to avoid missing out on evening rest and to reduce anxiety impacts,\" she recommends.\n\nShe's also a proponent of sticking to one cup per day, noting that coffee can sometimes act as an appetite suppressant. Limiting your intake may help prevent skipped meals while also benefiting your sleep and overall health.\n\nWood also reminds coffee drinkers that \"toppings like flavored syrups or whipped cream can be a hidden source of added sugars or calories.\"\n\n\"\\[Be\\] mindful of the amounts you use when crafting your caffeinated concoctions and look for [creamers](https:\/\/www.delish.com\/kitchen-tools\/a69991628\/best-healthy-coffee-creamers\/) and flavored syrups that use sweeteners such as stevia,\" she says, \"as they can help keep sugar and calorie content at a low level.\" That way, you can still enjoy your favorite flavors without compromising your dietary goals.\n\n## **The Bottom Line**\nLike most things, coffee is best enjoyed in moderation. Overdoing it can leave you jittery or even contribute to more serious health issues, but enjoying one or two cups a day—assuming you don’t have any of the conditions mentioned above—may come with some real benefits.\n\n**You Might Also Like**","meta_canonical":"com,aol!www,\/articles\/healthy-drink-coffee-every-day-170600583.html s443"}

Creative Images Lab - Getty Images - Coffee may offer health benefits like improved alertness and potential protection against some chronic conditions, but experts say moderation is key. - Too much coffee can cause side effects like anxiety, sleep disruption, digestive issues, and elevated heart rate or blood pressure. - Nutritionists say most people can enjoy coffee daily, but caffeine tolerance, timing, and what you add to your cup all matter. * One of the first things many people do in the morning is reach for a cup of coffee. For some, it's the most important "meal" of the day. In fact, coffee consumption is at a 20-year high, according to the [National Coffee Association](https://www.ncausa.org/Newsroom/Daily-coffee-consumption-at-20-year-high-up-nearly-40), and more than [2\.25 billion](https://www.driveresearch.com/market-research-company-blog/coffee-survey/) cups of coffee are consumed worldwide each day. That's a whole lotta coffee beans\! While many people can't imagine a day without their beloved cup, it does raise the question: Is drinking that much coffee actually good for you? We spoke with nutritionists to get to the bottom of whether the benefits of coffee really outweigh its drawbacks. Here's what we learned. ## The Health Benefits Of Coffee Coffee contains [nutrients](https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/fdc-app.html#/food-details/171890/nutrients) like magnesium and [polyphenols](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2835915/), in addition to caffeine. It's also rich in antioxidants, and experts say studies suggest it may offer several potential health benefits, including [improved cognitive function](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8641656/) and a reduced risk of certain chronic conditions, such as [cancer](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9916720/), [Parkinson's disease](https://nutritionsource.hsph.harvard.edu/food-features/coffee/)[, and Type 2 diabetes](https://nutritionsource.hsph.harvard.edu/food-features/coffee/). [Bridget Wood](https://www.instagram.com/balancedwithbridgetwood/?hl=en), RD, LD, CDCES, says it may also help boost energy and metabolism. As [Lauren Manaker](https://www.delish.com/author/268873/lauren-manaker/), MS, RDN, LD, explains, "When it comes to drinking coffee every day, the general consensus is that it is typically okay for most people." However, [Naria Le Mire](https://narialemirenutrition.com/), MPH, RD, recommends limiting coffee to one cup per day. "Ideally after a balanced breakfast rather than on an empty stomach," she says, "to support stable energy and nutrient intake." Le Mire also notes that avoiding coffee within 10 hours of bedtime is important for supporting sleep and healthy circadian rhythms. ## The Potential Pitfalls Of Coffee [Caffeine](https://www.delish.com/food-news/a45814074/how-much-caffeine-is-dangerous/), a stimulant, is the primary concern with coffee. "Caffeine content in coffee can vary depending on factors such as the type of [coffee beans](https://www.delish.com/kitchen-tools/cookware-reviews/g32147660/best-coffee-beans-list/), brewing method, and serving size," [Lorraine Kearney,](https://newyorkcitynutrition.com/about/) RD, CDN, explains. A standard cup of coffee can contain anywhere from 95 to 200 milligrams of caffeine, which is a pretty big range. The [FDA](https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/spilling-beans-how-much-caffeine-too-much) cites 400 milligrams of caffeine per day "as an amount not generally associated with negative effects." But caffeine's impact varies from person to person, depending on how sensitive an individual is to caffeine and how quickly they metabolize it. Kearney says that high coffee consumption may lead to anxiety, digestive issues, muscle tremors, headaches, caffeine dependency, and [interference with calcium absorption](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34981132/) (which can affect bone density, among other things). Excessive caffeine can also raise heart rate and blood pressure. She recommends that people with medical conditions such as heart problems, acid reflux, or anxiety disorders limit or avoid coffee. Pregnant women are also generally advised to limit their caffeine intake to 200 milligrams per day. Advertisement "For individuals with IBS or similar conditions, coffee's natural laxative effect can trigger bowel movements or worsen symptoms," Le Mire explains. "If you notice this, consider limiting your intake or switching to a less acidic preparation method, like pour-over coffee." Le Mire also notes that drinking too much coffee may contribute to [elevated cortisol levels](https://psy.uncg.edu/habitual-coffee-drinkers-and-cortisol-can-caffeine-help-with-stress/) over time, which "may contribute to increased stress, disrupted sleep, and weight gain in the abdominal area, potentially raising the risk of heart disease." ![coffee pouring in two mugs](https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/UAyOhqhdk1KPy83ccs8ygg--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTEyNDI7aD04Mjk-/https://media.zenfs.com/en/aol_delish_448/355423ab11b5fc4dee7fcd28a8b0222f) Stefania Pelfini la Waziya - Getty Images Wood adds that drinking too much coffee may also contribute to dehydration if you're not mindful of your water intake. She offers a few ways to minimize coffee's downsides: "Choose [decaf](https://www.delish.com/food-news/a60583705/does-decaf-coffee-cause-cancer/) or a coffee with a lower caffeine amount, especially earlier in the day to avoid missing out on evening rest and to reduce anxiety impacts," she recommends. She's also a proponent of sticking to one cup per day, noting that coffee can sometimes act as an appetite suppressant. Limiting your intake may help prevent skipped meals while also benefiting your sleep and overall health. Wood also reminds coffee drinkers that "toppings like flavored syrups or whipped cream can be a hidden source of added sugars or calories." "\[Be\] mindful of the amounts you use when crafting your caffeinated concoctions and look for [creamers](https://www.delish.com/kitchen-tools/a69991628/best-healthy-coffee-creamers/) and flavored syrups that use sweeteners such as stevia," she says, "as they can help keep sugar and calorie content at a low level." That way, you can still enjoy your favorite flavors without compromising your dietary goals. ## The Bottom Line Like most things, coffee is best enjoyed in moderation. Overdoing it can leave you jittery or even contribute to more serious health issues, but enjoying one or two cups a day—assuming you don’t have any of the conditions mentioned above—may come with some real benefits.
