Consumption of caffeine in a normal amount also is advantageous because the use of stimulant affects of caffeine can give a temporary and harmless. Effects on the nervous system is to prevent drowsiness, increased sensory perception, thinking speed, and reduce boredom.

But coffee still be wary. Lots and at least a cup of coffee can not be determined because the sensitivity of each person different. Caffeine, which is the main content of coffee have the nature of the drug. Caffeine affects cardiovascular system such as increased heart rate and blood pressure. The negative impact comes when we consume to excess.

  2. Although not considered significant, moderate coffee consumption is slightly reduces risk of death from heart disease and death from all causes.
  3. Another case when we consumed tea. This drink has a lot of formerly known as the drinks are full benefit in any way to treat various diseases from mild to very severe to get in his recovery. This is way the tea leaves as object of research in drug discovery is more natural. Tea plants easily found easily in many parts of the world into a commodity to be plantes that have added value, as for example in the prevention of various diseases, including the following:
  4. Over 6 cups of tea a day associated with the risk of heart disease 36 percent lower compared with those who drank less than one one cup of tea per day.
