Coffee contains caffeine - one of the best energy boosters in the world, bringing many health benefits.

1. Drinking too much coffee

Caffeine is responsible for the stimulating benefits of coffee. While coffee can provide a temporary energy boost and help improve attention, drinking too much can be harmful to your health. Consuming too much caffeine increases your risk of insomnia, high blood pressure, and heart problems.

So limit your daily caffeine intake to no more than 3 cups.

2. Not drinking enough water

Coffee has diuretic properties, which means it causes you to urinate more, which can lead to dehydration. While it is important to stay hydrated throughout the day, you need to be extra careful if you drink coffee. Dehydration can cause symptoms like fatigue, headaches, and impaired cognitive function, so make sure you drink enough water.

3. Add cream to coffee

Coffee is not hot chocolate for adding cream! Many people like to add cream to their coffee to enhance the flavor, but doing so can lead to weight gain and other adverse health effects.

4. Add more sugar and condensed milk to coffee

Do not add cream or too much sugar or condensed milk to your coffee.

Reduce the amount of sugar and condensed milk you add to your coffee. Coffee should be slightly sour, so don't make it too sweet. Adding too much sugar and milk can eventually lead to more fat accumulation, which can then develop into fatty liver disease, contribute to diabetes, and increase the risk of heart disease.

Consuming too much added sugar can promote chronic inflammation and blood pressure, both of which are major pathological pathways leading to heart disease.

5. Drinking coffee that is too hot

According to a recent study published in the US National Library of Medicine PubMed , drinking very hot beverages such as water, tea, and coffee increases the risk of developing esophageal cancer. Very hot drinks can damage the esophagus and triple the risk of developing cancer. Let your coffee cool down a bit before drinking to avoid risks.

6. Drink coffee before going to bed

Coffee is great when you need to stay up all night. But generally, you shouldn't drink coffee right before bed because it can disrupt your sleep.

So stop making these coffee mistakes to enjoy the full benefits of coffee, according to The Health Shots.
