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, coffee has become a non-negotiable “life support elixir” in daily life. But have you ever wondered—if you drink it every day for an entire month, what exactly starts happening quietly inside your body? 1. Your Mental State In the beginning, drinking coffee every day might make you feel incredibly sharp, with your productivity shooting through the roof. Caffeine blocks certain chemicals in the brain that make you feel tired, essentially giving your neurons an “emergency recharge.” But after 30 days, your body begins adapting to this external boost. What used to keep you energized for four hours may only last two, and you might find your eyes glazing over again. It’s not that coffee has “stopped working”—it’s your nervous system recalibrating to restore balance. 2. Your Digestive System Many people experience this: shortly after finishing a cup of coffee, they feel a strong urge to run to the bathroom. Coffee does stimulate gastrointestinal movement, almost li...

 Every morning, the elevators in office buildings are filled with the rich aroma of coffee. Sleepy office workers cling to their cups of “life support.” Some get headaches if they skip a day; others rely on coffee to survive endless nights of overtime. But the warnings never stop: “Coffee hurts your stomach,” “Coffee causes insomnia,” “Too much leads to osteoporosis.” So what’s the truth? What really happens to your body when you drink coffee for years? Let’s break it down — especially for three types of people who may need to rethink their relationship with coffee. 1. The “Sensitive Stomach” Crowd Do you feel acid rising in your stomach or even a dull ache after drinking coffee? You’re not being dramatic — your stomach is sending out an SOS. Caffeine and organic acids in coffee — such as chlorogenic acid — stimulate stomach acid secretion. For most people with healthy digestion, this is tolerable and may even help digestion. But if you already have acid reflux, ulcers, or c...

 When the first rays of sunlight slip through your curtains, you probably head straight to the kitchen. The grinder roars to life, the aroma of fresh coffee fills the air—this is the morning ritual many of us have repeated for years. We rely on coffee to wake up our sleepy nerves and enjoy that moment of calm and clarity. But we rarely ask ourselves: Is my body really built for this long-term “contract”? Everything has two sides, and coffee is no exception. As a long-time coffee lover, I have to remind you: when your body sends out these warning signs, it might be time to step away from that tempting dark brew. 1. The “Offbeat” Heartbeat Have you ever felt your heart skip a beat or start pounding out of nowhere after drinking coffee? A slight increase in heart rate is normal, but frequent palpitations, rapid heartbeat, or the feeling that your heart is about to jump out of your chest—that’s a clear warning. Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant. It triggers your adrena...

 For many office workers, surviving the day often means running on caffeine. A cup of coffee in the morning, another after lunch, and maybe one more to power through overtime. Coffee truly helps you stay alert—but for some people, overdoing it could quietly harm your health. Let’s start with a real case: A 32-year-old office worker drank at least five cups of coffee every day to stay awake for overtime. One evening, she suddenly felt her heart racing, her hands shaking, and cold sweat pouring down. She was rushed to the hospital, where doctors diagnosed her with caffeine-induced arrhythmia. The doctor warned her seriously: “If you keep drinking coffee like this, your heart won’t be able to handle it.” Coffee can be wonderful, but it’s not for everyone. Here are eight groups of people who need to watch their caffeine intake carefully. 1. People with Heart Problems Caffeine stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, which can cause faster heartbeats and higher blood pressure. If...

 For many modern people, coffee isn’t just a trendy beverage — it’s a daily survival tool. Especially for office workers grinding through long hours, that morning cup often feels like fuel for existence. While countless studies highlight the potential health benefits of coffee — boosting alertness, reducing fatigue, lowering the risk of type 2 diabetes, and even helping prevent certain cancers — it’s not a one-size-fits-all miracle drink. A recent study from Soochow University in China added an intriguing twist: coffee might actually counteract some of the negative effects of sitting for long periods. Researchers found that people who sat for six or more hours a day and didn’t drink coffee had a 1.58 times higher mortality risk than those who sat less and drank coffee regularly. In other words, among non-coffee drinkers, the longer they sat, the higher their overall risk of death. Still, coffee isn’t for everyone. Below are nine groups of people who should think twice before ...
