Am I drinking too much coffee?
I’m a 25-year-old female, 5’7″ tall, and weigh 123 pounds, so I’m quite thin but not underweight. On average, I drink between 3 to 5 mugs of coffee per day. My mug holds 12 ounces, but I typically fill it with a little more than 8 ounces of coffee and add just under 1/4 cup of cream, with no sugar. This amounts to approximately 30 to 40 ounces of coffee daily. I usually have about 2 cups in the morning, another cup late morning, and then 1 to 2 cups in the late afternoon.
I’ve always had a low resting heart rate, around 60 to 62 beats per minute, and low blood pressure, approximately 90/66. I am a runner, logging between 2 to 4 miles a day, five times a week. Additionally, I drink about 10 cups of water daily and sleep 7 to 8 hours each night. Despite appearing healthy, I’m concerned that I might be consuming too much coffee. Should I be worried about my coffee intake, or is there no reason for concern at this point? Thank you.

I drink about the same amount of coffee with cream as you do. My doc says to try to cut it down to 2 mugs per day, but I haven’t done that. I think what you are doing is pretty safe, and I’ve heard that coffee has anti-cancer agents in it…so it might actually be good for you. Also, you space it out over the day, so I think the negative effects are minimal. If you are concerned I would ask your doctor, but it sounds like you are very healthy and live a very healthy life style. I wouldn’t worry about it.
yes, it is too much. coffein is actually a drug but nobody says this (except russian doctors and scientists)
