I don’t drink tea or coffee. Caffeine is a very strong stimulant. If there is a high, there is definitely a low! I feel self-stimulation is more powerful than out-sourcing it. Not to forget the side effects that it can cause!

I do not drink coffee. Caffeine is a compound that overstimulates and also disrupts sleep cycle when consumed at wrong hours of the day.

1-2 cups of coffee on daily basis is safe for our health.But,if you are taking more than 4 cups of coffee daily then it will affect your health.You may face symptoms like anxiety, sleep disturbances,acid reflux, increased heart rate and high blood pressure.

Avoid taking coffee more than 4 cups on daily basis,also do not add sugar.

Moderate caffeine can improve alertness and focus, but excessive intake may quickly shift from habit to dependence. Staying within recommended limits and listening to your body’s signals is key for safe consumption.

That’s a serious reminder that even daily habits can become addictions. Where do we draw the line between routine and dependence
