Coffee is the life blood of some people's days. They need it to wake them up in the morning, get them to work, carry them through a tedious meeting, and bring them home again. Some people drink coffee all day from habit, not realizing what a bad habit it can be. Coffee is not an inherently evil substance, just the opposite in fact, but in excess coffee can cause some damage to your health and body.Coffee in the morning is a great idea, because coffee was made for the morning. It will get your brain working and stimulate your body so that everything starts up properly and begins to function. A cup of coffee with your breakfast is a safe and healthy way to start your day, and a direct channel to the energy you will need.
Coffee later in the day must be taken with caution. Another cup around lunchtime or any time during the morning can be great, and some people really need it. Once that first boost wears off a second boost is often needed, and another cup of coffee might be just the thing. A great tip is to take your coffee just after lunch break, as that is probably when you will need the greatest boost.
Two cups of coffee is a safe amount for almost anyone, but as it gets later in the day, you might want to stop at that. After the third cup it can start being dangerous to your body and actually doing more harm than good. You should try to avoid taking the third cup unless you have a long afternoon and evening ahead of you as well. 3 cups of coffee is the maximum you should ever take, as more can seriously damage your body.
A great time to take a third cup of coffee is about an hour before the activity you need the extra energy for starts. You only want this third cup if you plan to stay up very late and desperately need help doing it. Coffee can be a great help, but unless you plan to stay awake all night then don't drink it too late.
If you just need a quick boost, then choose something lighter like a soda for a burst of energy. The effects of coffee often last up to 6 hours, and unless you want to lay awake in bed all night then choose something lighter. Coffee is good when you need it, but when you don't need it then don't automatically default to it.
Coffee can be a great thing, and it actually has many health benefits. Coffee will stimulate the chemical in your body that give you happy feelings, and that's always a nice addition to your day. It tastes great and feels great to have a good cup of coffee, but dealing with the side effects of too much coffee is much less pleasant. Drink your coffee at the right times and in the right amounts and you will live longer and feel better for it.
