Welcome to Feel Better, Live More Bite Size, your weekly dose of positivity and optimism to get you ready for the weekend. Today's clip is from episode 404 of the podcast with Dr. Tommy Wood. Like myself, Tommy is passionate about empowering individuals to take control of their health by simplifying the wealth of information that exists. and giving people practical, realistic recommendations.
In this clip, we cut through some of the confusion that exists about caffeine and aim to give some nuanced practical advice. Caffeine, good or bad for our health? Uh, yes. As ever, and I think this is going to happen several times. The answer is uh it depends.
Certainly, if we go back to the uh epidemiological observational evidence where you ask people how much coffee they drink and then you look at their health outcomes, it seems like drinking up to three or four, maybe more small cups of coffee. So, so probably like one or two of my cups of coffee. per day is associated with improved health outcomes and that's uh liver disease, Alzheimer's disease. Um, there's certainly no no signal of harm, right? So it it doesn't seem to be harmful up up to those levels and maybe some benefit.
