Anyone done any research into Caffeine effect on physical health?
#Coffeechain might be able to help.

Dehydration is a downside
Interesting, I dont really experience this. But I drink lots of water normally.
I was always against coffee and caffeine. Two years ago after quitting alcohol for good I researched the best way to cleanse the liver. Coffee was the number one thing. I more or less drink one cup every morning and antetocially feel much better, improved digestive health, skin and energy levels.
I quit coffee for a few months but recently I have been drinking 2-3 cups a day this summer.
I cant get enough of it. Just wondering if there is a dosage that actually benefit physical health. Or I am just trying to make an excuse for my new coffee addiction lol.
This is the kind of thing I was looking for. Thank you Alain. Will send some sats when back on my phone. 💜
Coffee without sugar in the middle of the day is better than in the morning, it gives you that extra energy to finish the day, but it should only be 1.
Pulling from a ten year old memory when I was studying Yerba mate:
Read about micro inflammation of nerves.
Don’t know if there is new evidence for or against that.
Instinctively I think cycling caffeine would be a good idea
A personal anecdote about coffee, quantity and timing:
Last summer I decided to follow Andrew Huberman‘s sleep episode to the T. I woke up with the sunrise immediately ran out of the bed without touching my phone and viewed the sunlight right as it came over the horizon. I got a little exercise, then went home and took a cold shower. Here’s where the coffee part comes in. On his advice, I waited a solid two hours every day to have my 1st cup of coffee, which allowed all the residual adenosine in my brain to flush its way out. Using this method, I would have two large cups of coffee between 8 AM and Noon but I usually try to cut it off by 10 or 11. I never gave into having a mid afternoon coffee and I didn’t feel the need to. He said absolutely do not drink coffee after 2 PM. After doing all this, I was able to go to sleep easily at 10:30 every night and relax much more deeply and had solid energy throughout the day.
The key is to wait 90 to 120 minutes after waking up for your first cup of coffee because caffeine blocks your adenosine receptors which is a chemical that makes you feel tired. If you drink coffee too soon then around 2 PM you’ll be flooded with not only the new adenosine of the day, but also the residual adenosine from last nights sleep. So let it flush out first.
I felt much better last summer when following this protocol. Might try to start again. 🤙
