7 Tips for Healthy Drinking Coffee





To me, the best blogging friends in the morning is coffee. In patients with hypertension (high blood pressure-ed) I am often asked about their habits of drinking coffee. It is not surprising if in fact they were drinking an average of 5 cups of coffee a day! Then I also advised them to leave the habit of drinking coffee, and coffee from Indonesia has a high taste and popular throughout the world. Loss? Well, before joining the group of people who should not drink coffee and could only swallow hard to see anyone else kissing the sweet black this, it helps us to know "7 Tips for Healthy Drinking Coffee" the following:



1. Dose
Indeed there has been no definitive measure for the dose of coffee may be consumed. However, most studies reveal that drinking 300 mg of caffeine (about 1 to 3 cups of coffee a day) did not give a negative effect on most healthy people.




2. Danger Signals
While sipping coffee actually feels good, but often followed with an abundance of guilt. Recognize the danger signals of coffee so that we know when to stop drinking coffee. Danger signals are: anxiety, palpitations, sleep disturbances and mood disorders (eg, quick-tempered). A coffee drinkers who stopped drinking coffee may experience "caffeine withdrawal" which is characterized by a throbbing headache, but these symptoms will disappear after 24-48 hours or get a new dose of caffeine.


3. Listen Response Body
Everyone has their own limits on caffeine consumption. Most people can consume 2 cups of coffee a day without any problems. But there is also experiencing the bad effects of coffee consumption with the same amount. Someone told me after drinking a cup of coffee became unable to sleep through the night, on the contrary there are sound asleep after drinking coffee. So, the best way is to listen to the body's own response!


4. Know Caffeine Content
After knowing the dose and the response of the body, it helps us know the caffeine content in the products that we usually consume. In order not to copy the recommended dose has been reached, yet we still consume other products that contain caffeine, so feel the ill effects of coffee. Some other products that contain caffeine should be noted such as: soft drinks, candy coffee, tea, chocolate, migraine headaches.

For example, a study shows, a cup of coffee at Starbucks contains an average of 259 mg caffeine compared to coffee with the type and size of the same cup at Dunkin Donuts, which only contains 149 mg of caffeine.


From other studies, decaf coffee (coffee without caffeine), both for those who are obese because they can increase HDL ("good" cholesterol) of approximately 50%. While those who are not obese in fact can lower HDL cholesterol that can increase the risk of heart disease.




5. Coffee Mix
Five milligrams of calcium is lost for every 6 ounces of coffee consumed. But the loss of calcium can be overcome by adding 2 tablespoons milk or make espresso latte. While the coffee mixture with alcohol is not good, especially in people with liver disorders and coffee with cream mixture should also be avoided to reduce the excess calories. Caffeine also interacts with several types of drugs. For those who are taking medication, should consult a doctor.


Many of them think the coffee's best friend is smoking. Eits, make no mistake. A real coffee drinkers do not smoke! Cigarettes can reduce the pleasure of coffee you know ...
