Most coffee lovers stick to the norm of about two cups a day.
Although there are supposed health benefits of this drink, there are some potential risks to consider.
Writing in the Sunday Times, nutrition expert Dr Michael Moseley issued a warning to people who drink coffee every day.
He stated that although the hot drink has advantages, it also has disadvantages. For example, it can help improve brain and heart health due to the fact that it contains flavanols and antioxidants, but he found that it's important to watch the time of day when you drink coffee.
Dr. Mosley said it's best to wait a few hours after waking up to drink your favorite drink.
The creator of the Fast 800 and 5:2 diets, quoted researcher James Betts of the University of Bath, who states that poor sleep raises the level of cortisol, the stress hormone, in the body. As a result, blood sugar levels can become too high after a bad night's rest.
This means that it is advisable to drink coffee after breakfast to better control your metabolism, say Professor Betsfrom and Dr Mosley.
But Dr. Mosley added that drinking up to three cups of coffee a day can help your metabolism, fueling your weight loss efforts.
This is supported by a study published in the journal BMJ this year.
Scientists from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden found that drinking up to three cups a day can help prevent obesity and diabetes.
The study suggests that caffeinated beverages may play a role in reducing the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
And a separate study, published in Scientific Reports in 2019, gave similar results, reports Express.
