For common people, the best friend in the morning is a cup of coffee. In people with hypertension (high blood pressure-ed) I am often asked about their habits of drinking coffee. It is not surprising if in fact they were drinking an average of 5 cups of coffee a day! Then I was advised them to leave the coffee drinking habits. before joining the group of people who should not drink coffee and could only swallow hard to see anyone else kissing the black this sweet, it's good we know "7 Tips Healthy Coffee" the following:

 I have found no definitive measure for the dose that may be consumed coffee people. However, most studies reveal that drinking 300 mg of caffeine (about 1 to 3 cups of coffee a day) does not give a negative effect on most healthy people.  



2. Danger signals 
 When drinking coffee did feel good, but often is followed by million of guilt. Recognize the danger signals of coffee so that we know when to stop drinking coffee. Danger signals include: anxiety, palpitations, sleep disturbance and mood disorder (eg, short-tempered). A coffee drinkers who stopped drinking coffee may experience "caffeine withdrawal" which is marked by a throbbing headache, but these symptoms will disappear after 24-48 hours or get a new dose of caffeine.

Meanwhile, mix the coffee with alcohol less well, especially in people with liver disorders and coffee with cream mixture should also be avoided to reduce the excess calories.
