ARE YOU DRINKING TOO MUCH COFFEE? If yes, then you are taking a big risk!
Investors India|April 2021
A cup of coffee commits you to forty years of friendship. Coffee indeed has a great bonding quality. But this bonding can turn into bondage, if you exceed the limits.
Shri K. K. Bajaj
ARE YOU DRINKING TOO MUCH COFFEE? If yes, then you are taking a big risk!

As familiarity breeds contempt so do too many cups of coffee lead to most unwelcome consequences. Before you try the coffee approach to win or make friends, it is desirable that you first acquaint yourself with all that coffee can do to your body system.

Coffee contains Caffeine in maximum percentage:

Caffeine has been classified as a dangerous drug. Its presence in coffee leads to artificial stimulation and jerks up the entire system temporarily and later leads to lethargy and even depression. A person who is addicted to Caffeine, is compelled to take more and more cups of coffee in order to keep his spirits high. The addiction to coffee is akin to addiction to liquor which later on makes its regular users, its slaves.

Excess of Coffee instantly increases Blood Pressure

An average person’s daily caffeine intake should not exceed 300 mg-that’s about one cup of coffee a day. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that pregnant women and nursing women should limit the caffeine intake to 100 mg, as caffeine can make a baby wakeful and agitated. Children, too, should limit caffeine intake to 100mg a day as it can make them hyperactive. People suffering from high BP should avoid coffee as it immediately increases their blood pressure. Over a two-week period, adrenaline levels of coffee drinkers’ increased by 32%. Their blood pressure rose by an average three points, the hormone levels remained high until night time, even when coffee was last consumed before 1:00 pm. Professor Lane said a regular boost of three points in blood pressure could contribute to a rise of five points in diastolic blood pressure which can increase the risk of stroke by 34% and the chance of suffering a heart attack by 21%.
