Coffee maniacs
By Zane Leite
-Coffee and cigarettes, is that your lunch?!
(from Jim Jarmusch’s „Coffee and cigarettes”)
Coffee – the most popular stimulant (~3,400 cups are consumed every second of the day around the world*) is widely popular among students at the University of Latvia too – students drink it at cafes or bring thermo-mugs to the University.
But what exactly is coffee’s secret that makes us drink it and how does it impact our health?
The two main substances in coffee that impact our bodies are caffeine and antioxidants. Caffeine stimulates us to concentrate or wake up – that’s the reason why we drink coffee in the morning or at night before a paper deadline. Antioxidants promote optimal health and are very important for avoiding diseases – by preventing the oxidation process. The oxidation process produces free radicals that cause damage to immunity and coffee helps prevent the process and the oxidative damage to our body.
Despite the above mentioned facts that coffee improves health, it is also important to consider for most things in life – less is more, and it’s possible to drink too much coffee.

You should be aware of side effects coffee can cause before you use it
I never thought that there are so many side effects. Probably that happens if I drink 10 cups a day.
It happens if you drink every day. And after all- drinking coffee is an addiction.
The famous American Ben Franklin allegedly said both of the following: “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy”; and “Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy.” If these sayings are true (and I see no reason to doubt them), coffee is further proof that the problems of the world can be solved with simple tools already available to us.
Oh, I L.O.V.E. coffee! Even if that makes me a poor and miserable addict, I just can’t give up the scent of coffee in the morning… Yummmy
Totally agree with U. No matter what effect – coffee is pleasure.
I can’t imagine my life without it.. Sometimes it’s so great to weak up, because u know, that u’ll have a cup of coffee in the morning, and the world will hold on! :))
Cannot help it! I love coffee also. And, as a general rule, journalists LOVE coffee. No cream. No sugar. Just Black. Six to eight cups a day. Even if I drink coffee in the evening, I still sleep like a baby. Won’t give it up or cut down. Ever.
