Coffee and your heart: A delicate balance

Your morning coffee might be doing more than just waking you up. Recent research reveals a complex relationship between coffee consumption and cardiovascular health that challenges some long-held beliefs and offers new insights.

Three new studies suggest that the effects of your daily brew may depend on various factors, including quantity, frequency, and even your choice of caffeinated beverage. While moderate caffeine intake might offer protection against certain cardiovascular risks, too much could have the opposite effect.

These findings raise intriguing questions: How much coffee is right for your heart? Could switching your afternoon coffee to tea make a difference? And why might your morning espresso affect you differently than your neighbor?
