Many of us need our morning coffee. According to a recent survey by Yougov, around 68% of French people drink coffee regularly. In addition, 55% of coffee drinkers drink several cups a day at home. Although this hot drink can be good, especially in the morning, it is important to consider whether it is good for your health. In a TikTok video, Dr. Louis Bendayan (@DrTik_Tok) explains the health benefits and risks of coffee.
The health benefits of coffee
Dr. Bendayan explains that coffee can have positive health effects thanks to its content of antioxidant molecules. ” Coffee improves alertness and also contains antioxidant molecules which, according to some studies, reduce the risk of diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s, certain heart diseases and even certain cancers.“, emphasizes the doctor.
Moreover, a recent study published in The European Journal of Epidemiology showed that moderately and reasonably might be associated with reduced mortality and increased life expectancy of up to two years.
Excess consumption can have serious health consequences
However, excessive coffee consumption can lead to many complications. According to Dr. Bendayan, coffee can cause anxiety, stress, or insomnia in certain doses.
Although it is not dangerous for health according to the specialist, it should be consumed in low doses. Its effects on health can vary according to the profiles, and in some cases, digestive disorders, diarrhea and palpitations can occur. As Dr. Bendayan pointed out, we are all unique beings and react differently to certain substances such as coffee or alcohol.
The European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) has stated that individual doses of caffeine up to 200mg do not pose a safety concern for a healthy adult population.
