Common Myths About Caffeine You Need To Stop Believing

It Is Bad For Your Health

Caffeine has several health benefits, such increasing the metabolism, boosting mood, promoting regular bowel movements, and increasing alertness. Some studies even provide evidence that a daily cup of coffee can lower the risk of premature death by up to fifteen percent. One of these studies, which was conducted by the American Heart Association, concluded that higher caffeine intake is associated with a lower mortality rate. Although this evidence does not prove that drinking caffeine causes a decrease in mortality, the study suggests that caffeine may not be as unhealthy as some believe it is. Other studies have found evidence that coffee drinkers experience a boost in memory performance for up to twenty-four hours after consumption and that drinking three to five cups of coffee per day can reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease.
