People around the globe loves to drink coffee. In an article that I've read, Italian people used to drink 5 cups or more in one day. English people are more on teas as stimulants. Me, I love to drink coffee a lot. I could even consume 5 cups or more. They said coffee is good to our health because it contains antioxidant that helps our body to slows aging process. but my concern is, does drinking coffee is really good to our health or not? In an article that I've red, coffee and other stimulant can cause serious damage to our health. Coffee suppresses hunger so most of us drink coffee rather than eating a carbohydrate rich food. But these stimulants upset the balance in our metabolism that may provokes excess weight and fatigue. How about you, does drinking coffee is healthy or not?
