Risk of addiction
Another concern shared by health experts is the risk of developing caffeine addiction. People who drink coffee every morning may find it difficult to give it up, and skipping their usual cup can lead to headaches, irritability, or fatigue. Experts recommend limiting daily consumption to about 2 to 3 cups of coffee.
Best practices for healthy coffee consumption
Drink coffee in moderation – up to 400 mg of caffeine per day (about 3 cups).
Avoid coffee in the evening: drinking it late at night can disrupt sleep.
Avoid excess sugar and cream: black coffee or lightly sweetened options are healthier.
Combine coffee with food – this reduces the risk of stomach irritation.
