The doctor named the acceptable rate of coffee consumption for health

People often tend to attribute certain properties to coffee, but in order for coffee not to harm the human body, you need to know the measure of its consumption. About this on September 30, "Gazeta.Ru" was told by Maria Tolstova, a general practitioner at the SM Clinic.

According to the doctor, if you consume less than 400 mg of caffeine per day (3-4 cups of coffee per day), it will be beneficial for humans. Its excessive consumption can lead to an aggravation of existing diseases of the cardiovascular or digestive system, palpitations and increased blood pressure. It is not recommended to drink coffee while recovering from a heart attack or stroke.

However, with the right amount of caffeine intake, you can notice improvements in brain function and concentration. I feel a surge of strength and efficiency. Coffee can also reduce the risk of developing Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, as well as type 2 diabetes.

"Moderate coffee consumption reduces the risk of cardiovascular failure, as well as coronary heart disease and attacks of atrial fibrillation," the expert explained.

Earlier, on September 11, doctor Ekaterina Dmitrenko urged not to abuse caffeine, despite the fact that it helps to improve mindfulness. According to her, the caffeine in coffee, tea and energy drinks blocks adenosine, a substance that causes drowsiness. Thanks to this, as the specialist emphasized, vigor and concentration increase. However, over time, a person develops tolerance, which requires more consumption of the drink to achieve the same effect.
