I am a 55- year -old business man who love drinking coffee. However, I stopped drinking coffee last year after about 5 years of regular consumption when I learnt that Coffee causes a lot of problems. However, I recently read that the beverage is good for the brain. Kindly let me know if this is true and if I can resume my consumption of coffee.

It is true that some recent research has concluded that it is “generally safe” for most people to consume three to four cups of coffee per day, and that doing so may actually reduce the risk of certain health conditions. Apart from making you feel more energized, burn fat and improve physical performance, coffee may also lower your risk of several conditions. The study authors warned, however, that smoking may cancel out any benefits of drinking coffee. A person who wishes to derive health benefits from coffee should avoid exceeding the daily recommended intake and try to monitor the ingredients they add, such as sugar, cream, or flavorings, as these may not be healthful. Pregnant women and those at risk of bone fractures may wish to avoid coffee.
