Caffeine : ally or enemy ?

We give you the answers.

Has the pace of September got you trapped and you’re drinking coffee at every break to keep up? Today, we take a look at the good and bad aspects of coffee (or rather caffeine).

We often hear lots of different things about the effects of coffee. Is it good or bad for the human body? We respond ☕️.

The benefits of caffeine

In fact, despite all the bad things we see about coffee and especially caffeine addiction, coffee has many benefits, not least for the immune system and headaches. Yes, you’ve heard?

Coffee’s first ability is to harden your immune system. How does it do that? It’s a beverage that contains many antioxidants, such as polyphenols. By drinking coffee, you provide your body with an additional source of antioxidants that can strengthen your immune system’s defense. In this way, it will help your body and cells function better, prevent disease and keep you healthy in general. 💪

Secondly, it’s true that it has the ability to stimulate your mind and make you more productive. We agree, it’s served us all well one day 😂. What’s more, caffeine is good for certain cognitive functions, including memory. Many people find they are better able to concentrate on mental tasks after drinking coffee ☕️!

But coffee is much more than just a stimulating drink, it offers a range of health benefits when incorporated into a balanced lifestyle. 🥰

The harmful effects of caffeine

However, every human body functions differently and has a different tolerance level. When you go beyond your limit and start drinking too much coffee, it has many negative effects. It’s easy to be tempted by one coffee with colleagues, then two, then three during the day… Maybe that’s the case for you, but have you noticed any signs of fatigue or stress? Let’s take stock 😵.

Indeed, caffeine is an addictive molecule. You have to be really careful with your coffee intake. Too much coffee = a disruption of the nervous system. If you exceed your caffeine tolerance, your body defends itself by inflicting harmful effects. Some may experience anxiety, insomnia, nervousness…

Like any product consumed in excess, your body doesn’t react well. Yes, even vegetables consumed in excess can have negative effects 🥦.

We hear a lot that coffee is bad, addictive. But regulated consumption can actually be good for you! It’s up to you to know your body and your tolerance. 😌

In short, coffee is more than just a stimulating drink; it offers a range of health benefits when incorporated into a balanced lifestyle. However, we must all be aware of our own limits before the harmful effects of caffeine become apparent.

A normal consumption of coffee is equivalent to 1 to 2 cups a day (this is an average, as each individual has a different tolerance). Of course, coffee does not replace medical advice! ☝🏻
