Looking At Myths About Coffee

As any regular caffeine drinker probably knows, there are a lot of ideas out there that claim that caffeine has many negative effects on the body – ranging from causing irregular heart rates to causing weight gain to causing dehydration – but while all of these ideas are rooted in some sort of fact, all of them are also (mostly) false!

Beginning with caffeine making people jittery and causing them to have an irregular heart rate, one thing you need to realize is that caffeine affects different people in different ways – and there are a number of factors that can dictate how caffeine affects an individual, such as age, gender, weight, or regular caffeine intake – but if you have been drinking caffeine for years and have not had problems with nervousness or “jitters” as a result, you are probably perfectly fine to continue consuming the amount of coffee you typically consume.

The idea of coffee causing weight gain is another thing that can be true, but is not necessarily true at its core; one of the functions of caffeine is that it turns glucose into fat, which means that coffee will, in fact, cause you to gain weight if you are putting sugar in it, or if you are drinking down some sweets with it, but on its own, coffee is pretty much a dieter’s dream, as it has nothing bad in it at all!

Now, as with just about anything you can consume, you must realize that coffee should be consumed in moderation; if you have anywhere from 2-4 cups of coffee per day, you should be safe from the jitters and from the dehydration that coffee can cause (and in fact, drinking 2-4 cups of coffee is just as good as drinking 2-4 cups of water, for hydration purposes!). But if you start to edge up into the range of 5-7 cups of coffee per day, you can experience some adverse effects – including dehydration – so make sure you know your facts when it comes to coffee, and you will feel quite fine consuming it!
