Daily Coffee Habit? Here's Why You Need to Stay Hydrated

Many people wonder if drinking coffee is beneficial for their health. 

Here are some facts about coffee you might not know, along with an answer to the question: How does coffee relate to your daily water intake?

- Coffee contains antioxidants that protect the body from inflammation processes that can occur, contribute to good liver function, and help maintain healthy blood vessels. 

- Extensive studies conducted in the UK and the United States found that men who drank coffee daily had a 12% lower risk of death. Among women, the risk was reduced by 7%, as published in the medical journal JAMA Internal Medicine.

- Researchers from the University of California examined over 180,000 people in a study that lasted 16 years. Over the years, it became clear that people who drank one cup of coffee a day consumed fewer sugary drinks. 

However, despite these advantages, other studies show that the more coffee we consume, the less water we drink. This inevitably leads to phenomena such as high blood pressure, chronic headaches, shortness of breath, and general weakness. 

One study showed that people who drank less water and too much coffee were 64% more likely to get sick compared to those who didn't consume coffee at all and chose to drink water whenever they 'craved something warm.' 

They simply poured hot water and drank it as is, and they were less likely to suffer from chronic illnesses such as stroke, diabetes, dementia, kidney failure, and liver diseases.
