Coffee Is Not The Enemy

I have been drinking coffee for over 20 years now, and I feel just as healthy as I did when I started drinking coffee. I also know people that have been drinking coffee for much longer than I have and most of them are just as healthy, but it is not just the coffee itself that people fear. It's the amount of coffee added to the particular lifestyle of the individual person consuming the coffee. Coffee itself does not create problems within ourselves and some people do abuse coffee, by consuming more than their particular body can handle or make it too strong and that may be harmful, causing the heart rate to temporarily accelerate. But keep this in mind, if we abuse anything, eat too much of anything or drink too much of anything, it will cause the human body some type of abnormality, and coffee is no exception to that rule.

Coffee is not the enemy, if we live healthy lives. The body cannot survive on coffee alone, because it lacks the potential nutrients that the human body needs to survive. Despite the antioxidants and energy production of coffee, one must consume other foods and beverages that are healthy for the body, not only to survive but to maintain a healthy life. People who consume 3 or 4 cups of coffee per day are not damaging their livelihoods, but people who consume 3 or 4 pots of coffee per day may be damaging their livelihoods, but it's not the coffee itself, it's the abuse of coffee that is damaging their lives. People who consume that much coffee, more than likely, are not supplying the body with the necessary nutrition, which means that they are not eating or drinking enough of anything else.

The only thing that coffee itself may negatively effect is the cleanliness of our teeth and mouth. Coffee can and will temporarily stain our teeth, and if we don't perform maintain on our teeth, they will change to a more brownish color on a more permanent basis, depending on how we drink it. Yet again, many foods we consume have a temporary effect on the mouth, but that's why we maintain our daily hygiene, by brushing our teeth, to keep them from being discolored and damaged. There are other things that we can do to help keep our coffee mouths clean. Drinking water can help or just rinsing with water after consumption of coffee can slow down the staining process. Chewing gum is another way to help keep the mouth clean, works really well. Some fruits have natural teeth cleaning agents within them like apples and strawberries.

All the non-conclusive studies have proven that coffee is non-conclusively bad for you, which means that Scientists believe that coffee may be bad for us, but they can't prove anything. The truth of the matter is that no one has scientifically proven that coffee causes disease or any type of medical condition, though coffee may be harmful to individuals with certain medical conditions, like heart disease, diabetes, asthma, etc..., like many of the food and beverages that we consume, coffee itself is not the enemy! I'm not promoting the consumption of coffee, but if you like to drink coffee, whether for the taste or the energy boost, relax and enjoy for it's not the cause of any particular future problem!
