Pu’er Coffee

 We often hear that “a cup of coffee a day keeps the doctor away.” Indeed, moderate coffee consumption can boost alertness and is rich in antioxidants. But just like even the best ingredients aren’t suitable for everyone, coffee is not a “universal drink” that fits all. So which friends need to push that coffee cup a bit farther away? Let’s take a look. ♥ Friends with sensitive stomachs should be careful Some friends feel as if a rock concert has erupted in their stomach after drinking coffee, churning and rumbling nonstop. This is not a coincidence. The caffeine and various organic acids in coffee stimulate stomach acid secretion. For people with healthy gastric mucosa, this may not be a big issue. But if your digestive system is already sensitive, or you have conditions like acid reflux or gastric ulcers, this surge of “acidity” may worsen your discomfort. Studies have found that coffee can indeed relax the muscle connecting the esophagus and stomach, making stomach acid more...

 Coffee has become a daily ritual for many of us, but beyond waking up your brain, this little cup of dark liquid hides a surprising number of health perks. Of course, it’s not for everyone. Today, let’s take a clear look at how coffee actually affects the body. ☕ The Health Benefits of Coffee: It’s More Than a Morning Pick-Me-Up 1. It Kickstarts Your Morning Coffee’s most famous effect is, of course, its ability to boost alertness. Caffeine blocks the brain’s “fatigue signals,” helping you stay focused and awake. But timing matters — more on that later. 2. It Helps Stabilize Blood Sugar Multiple studies have shown that long-term, moderate coffee consumption is linked to a lower risk of type 2 diabetes. Certain components in coffee may improve insulin sensitivity and help the body use blood sugar more efficiently. This doesn’t replace healthy diet and exercise, but it can quietly support your overall metabolic health. 3. It Protects Cells With Antioxidants Coffee is rich ...

 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 ...
