The Dhaka Times Desk A recent study found that drinking coffee is good for human health, but excessive coffee consumption increases the risk of death in adults. Researchers have said that adults should not drink more than four cups of coffee.
The researchers found that if a person drank more than 28 cups of coffee a week, their risk of death increased by 28%, but the risk increased to 50% if someone under the age of 55 drank that much coffee.
"Coffee is a drink that has both good and bad sides," said Dr. Carl Lavey, a member of the research team. When you drink coffee in tolerable amounts, it is good for your body, but if you drink more than enough coffee, it increases your risk of death.”
This study shows that American adults drink an average of at least three cups of coffee per day.
Meanwhile, researchers surveyed 44,000 Americans between the ages of 20 and 87 to record their medical, physical, and lifestyle issues. Most of the people who took part in the survey were men. The researchers also found out the amount of coffee consumed by everyone who participated in the survey.
Researchers tracked those people for 17 years and at least 2,500 died, most of them from heart disease. On the other hand, 56 percent died among young adults who drank 28 cups of coffee a week.
The researchers said, "People who drink excessive amounts of coffee are harming their bodies and suffering from health complications much like smoking."
According to research data, coffee drinking increases the risk of death from the normal death rate and the resulting death rate is 56 percent, most of whom died from heart disease. The researchers also said that the risk of death from drinking coffee is the same for both men and women.
Meanwhile, in previous studies it was known that drinking coffee is good for health, but recently studies have shown that drinking too much coffee is harmful, so how do people take it? In this regard, Dr. Leslie Cho said, "There is a level for everything, 28 cups of coffee a week is definitely excessive for a normal person. I must say that those who drink this amount of coffee should be careful now."
Drinking excessive amounts of coffee is harmful to humans as the caffeine in it raises blood pressure and increases the risk of heart disease.
Dr. Leslie Chong also said, "We have to be careful about drinking too much coffee because our heart is already at risk in our daily activities. Taking too much caffeine in our body puts our heart at risk even more."
So we should refrain from drinking too much coffee now. Live a regular life to stay healthy.
