3 To 5 Cups Of Coffee Could Benefit Your Heart Health

Drink Three To Five Cups Per Day

There are many health benefits to be found at the bottom of a cup of coffee and even more after three or five cups. Aside from lowering the amount of calcium buildup in the coronary arteries and reducing the risk of heart attacks and stroke, three to five cups of coffee can also lower the risk of liver disease and some cancers. It is suspected many of the health benefits of coffee and caffeine are due to the antioxidants and antifibrotics they contain, which prevent and slow damage to cells.

Something to keep in mind is many other foods and drinks contain caffeine. So how much caffeine is safe to consume in a day? Four hundred milligrams (mg) or less seems to be the favored amount for healthy individuals. Keep in mind a cup of coffee contains one hundred to 140 mg of caffeine, a cup of tea contains seventy-five mg, a can of pop contains forty mg, a 250 milliliter can of an energy drink may contain up to eighty mg, and chocolate bars generally contain ten to twenty-five mg.

Brew a pot of coffee and drink up for heart health.
