Coffee Machines and Caffeine
Do you rush for the coffee machine first thing in the morning or the coffee vending machine when you arrive at work? It's really good stuff, this thing called coffee, isn't it? Warms you on a cold day, kick starts you in the morning, soothes away the rough edges after a long night....... one could be so easily tempted to grab a cup of coffee for any reason, or even no reason.
Sadly, or perhaps unfortunately, like so many things things in life, coffee has it's downside as well. For a start, caffeine is a substance known for it's ability to push up blood presure. So, what do the experts say about coffee?
Well, first of all there is clearly a trade off involved with coffee. Increased caffeine consumption has distinct advantages and disadvantages. Ultimately it would seem that, dependant on one's general health, size etc, the limit is between 2 to 4 cups per day. Beyond that, the negative effects start outweighing the benefits. The experts also add the following guidelines. If you:
- have been substituting coffee in place of water and juice in your diet
- have trouble falling asleep
- are pregnant or nursing a child
- have a medical condition such as high blood presure, gastritis or ulcers
it may be time to switch to decaff, or even skip coffee altogether for a while.
Not really what a company selling coffee machines and coffee vending machines wants to write about - worse still when we love the stuff sooo much - but like so many things in life, moderation is the key......you gotta be there to drink it!
