Quotable moments:
“Antioxidants… neutralize free radicals and reduce inflammation. Thereby, they protect cells from oxidative stress, and they contribute to overall health. So there are really good compounds inside of coffee.”
“This study provides the first extended characterization of the effects of chronic coffee consumption on human brain networks… The results suggest that caffeine consumption may not elevate the risk of experiencing a cardiac arrhythmia in healthy individuals. But it does have a negative impact on sleep.”
“Halflife of caffeine and coffee is roughly three to five hours… If you want to consume caffeine, consume it in the morning. Probably shut it off around 12 or one o’clock. If you’re a slow metabolizer. If you’re a fast metabolizer, you could, you may be able to drink it a little bit later. It’s a personal decision.”
