Published by

I want to know if regular consumption of coffee is good for my health. I am a 60-year-old man in good health.

Scientists found that chronic intake of over 400 mg of caffeine (equivalent to 4 cups of coffee, 2 Energy drinks or 10 cans of soda) or more a day may lead to health concerns, including anxiety and insomnia. In those who chronically consumed 600 mg of caffeine a day, which is higher than the recommended daily limit, scientists reported significantly elevated heart rate and blood pressure.

This indicates that habitually high caffeine intake might hinder the recovery of heart rate and blood pressure after regular daily activity.
