Because coffee stimulates the brain so strongly that it directly affects the mental state, when coffee was first introduced to Europe in the16th century, people thought that coffee could only be drunk with a doctor's prescription. In the past four or five centuries, with the vigorous development of coffee culture, people can't live without coffee for a day, but the medical profession has suggested that the influence of coffee on the human body is not only refreshing.
Let's start with the refreshing effect of coffee. According to research, drinking 100-200mg of caffeine every day is enough to refresh the mind and is harmless to the body. For office workers, the best time to drink coffee is after breakfast in the morning, when they first arrive at the office, and after lunch break, when they are ready to start busy work in the afternoon. At this time, a cup of coffee can avoid the usual drowsiness after dinner.

Two or more cups of coffee a day will increase the probability of fracture by about 50%, which is shocking. Experts believe that it is safest for the elderly to drink coffee once a day.
