Pu’er Coffee

 For many people, a cup of coffee in the morning is an essential ritual for waking up. But a recent study has raised a warning for older coffee lovers. Researchers from Nicolaus Copernicus University in Poland published findings in QJM: An International Journal of Medicine suggesting that increased coffee consumption may worsen chronic pain in older adults. As people age, both the likelihood and intensity of chronic pain tend to increase, making it one of the most significant factors affecting quality of life in later years. The researchers also noted, however, that daily diet may play a crucial role in managing this issue. With scientifically guided dietary adjustments, it may be possible to significantly reduce the burden of chronic pain. The study followed 205 healthy adults aged 60 and older over a two-year period. Researchers regularly assessed participants’ pain levels using a 0–10 pain scale (with 0 indicating no pain and 10 representing extreme pain), while also closely ...

 For many people rushing to early shifts, a cup of coffee isn’t just a pick-me-up — it’s the “life-support system” that starts the day. But what you may not realize is that some of your coffee-drinking habits are quietly putting stress on your stomach. Today, let’s talk about three ways of drinking coffee that are most likely to hurt your stomach — and the first one might be something you do every single day. 1. Chugging Black Coffee on an Empty Stomach — Your Stomach Is “Crying” Silently Many people are short on time in the morning, so they skip breakfast and drink black coffee straight away, thinking it gives the fastest boost. But this is basically like delivering a sudden attack on a stomach that hasn’t fully “woken up.” Caffeine stimulates gastric acid secretion. When your stomach is empty and there’s no food to buffer the acid, large amounts of stomach acid come into direct contact with the stomach lining, causing discomfort. Over time, this increases stomach burden and m...

 For many people, that rich, aromatic cup of coffee each morning is more than a ritual—it’s the fuel that jumpstarts the day. But have you ever wondered what happens to your body when you drink coffee day after day, month after month? Today, let’s talk about three surprising changes your body may experience after a full year of consistent coffee drinking. 1. Your Metabolic Rate Increases You may have noticed that a cup of coffee doesn’t just wake up your mind—it seems to energize your entire body. There’s real science behind this. When caffeine enters the body, it gently stimulates the central nervous system and signals fat cells to break down stored fat. At the same time, caffeine boosts adrenaline levels, putting your body into a “ready-for-action” mode that accelerates fat breakdown and energy usage. After consuming caffeine, your metabolic rate can increase by 3%–11% for about three hours. That may sound small, but over time, it means your body burns more energy during...
