Excessive consumption of coffee can cause unexpected complications for the body. Experts state that drinking half a liter or more of coffee at once places an additional burden on the cardiovascular and nervous systems.
Medianews.az, referring to Foodinfo.az, reports that according to gastroenterologist Yelena Pexotina, a high dose of caffeine can cause tachycardia, feelings of anxiety, insomnia, and short-term increases in blood pressure even in healthy individuals.
The doctor notes that this risk is higher in individuals with hypertension, arrhythmia, stomach or kidney diseases. Caffeine stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, which can intensify stress reactions and lead to sweating and headaches. At the same time, increased acidity can cause heartburn and digestive discomfort.
Nevertheless, the specialist emphasizes that moderate consumption — up to two cups a day — is generally not considered dangerous for most people. The main point is not to exceed the norm and to consider the body's individual response. A balanced approach allows both enjoyment of coffee and protection of health.
