🧭 What is the ideal daily dose of coffee?
Dr. Wen reminds us that “up to 400 mg of caffeine per day – roughly equivalent to four cups of filtered coffee – is a safe intake for most adults .”
➡️ This corresponds to approximately:
4 cups of filter coffee,
or 3 espressos,
or 2 large American-style coffees.
Beyond that, the risk of side effects increases: tremors, irritability, or insomnia may appear.
💡 Some tips for enjoying coffee safely
✅ Opt for filtered or hand-ground coffee , which is milder and less acidic.
✅ Avoid coffee too late in the day , especially after 4 p.m.
✅ Stay well hydrated: alternate one cup of coffee with one glass of water .
✅ Limit sugar and flavored syrups: they mask the natural benefits of coffee.
✅ Listen to your body: if you feel nervous or experience palpitations, reduce the amount you drink.
🌸 In summary
Coffee isn’t the enemy you think it is: consumed in moderation, it can be a real health ally . But too much caffeine can cause nervous fatigue, anxiety, and sleep problems .
👉 The right amount? About 3 to 4 cups a day maximum , and no more.
The secret, as always, is balance: enjoy coffee for pleasure and energy , not as an addiction. ☕💚
