SUPERNICE | by putri soe: Should you be worried of drinking coffee?

Looks healthy. Right?

Should you be worried of drinking coffee? Well, it depends. From what i'm reading, and from my own 'casual research', coffee is not?that?bad. Sure, it does get a number of bad reps (heart disease, cancer,?blablablah), and doctors won't spesifically prescribe you a hot macchiato when you do your medical checkup, but in the time where everything contradicts everything, studies found out that coffee is?actually?beneficial for your health.

PROS:
Really? Yes, according to many studies. The nutritions inside coffee can lower the risk of Parkinson disease, protect the body from cellular damage (because of the antioxidants from the plant phenols in coffee), prevent tumors, and obviously, increase clarity and focus (that's why some people must get coffee when they're working overnight;?moi, if i drink coffee in the afternoon, i assure you i won't sleep early).

CONS:
So coffee is good. BUT--yes, there's a but--if you take it in moderation. Two to three cups a day is enough. If you take more, maybe like 5 cups, it's possible that you will suffer from heart failure and high blood pressure (explains why you're so cranky?). When you're on medication, it's also best if you don't consume any coffee because it might 'disturb' the treatment. And notice that your heart is pumping more after you take a cup of coffee? Imagine if you do it 5 times a day or more. Give your heart a break, man.

The good thing about coffee is that it only contains around 2 calories in a cup! Oh, gosh, that's a tiny number, what a beautiful day! Don't get so happy now, because that is only for brewed coffee, without--and note this--added sugar, artificial sweetener, syrup, and other good stuffs. Yes, even milk. So never ever consider that you're making a healthy choice, never ever think that you're increasing your antioxidants, releasing all those pollutants from your body, and lowering Parkinson risk, if what you order is a Starbucks Venti Java Chip Frappuccino with whipped cream. All those health benefits are gone, or at least clouded, by the whopping calories and all those ingredients inside (the latter has 460 calories--equivalent to a whole lunch meal!).
I'm not suggesting that you should avoid going to Starbucks (my family can't stop going to Starbucks) or any other coffee shops (heck, i love coffee shops!), but beware because they will offer you some fancy offerings (it's what keeps the business going anyway). Here are some tips:

• Only order brewed coffee. Simple names like "Caffe Misto", "Iced coffee", even "Cappuccino" and "Latte" are still allowed.
• Please stop craving those Frappuccinos. It's little coffee blended with much milk, sugar, and syrup. You don't need that! But if you must...
• Hold everything the coffee shop allows you to hold. Hold the whipped cream, choose nonfat or 2% milk (don't opt for soy--other than it'll cost you more, it'll 'tweak' the taste and soy milk doesn't really make any difference to the calories), ask if there's a healthier choice of syrup, ask for less syrup, ask for less sugar, ask for less anything and you'll save up to 200 calories.
• One important thing that people likes to forget is size. People, size does matter. You don't need a Venti-sized latte. Seriously, all you need is a little 'cup of coffee'. Don't exaggerate. Don't be American (sorry). Be frugal. I personally suggest to ask the waiter for the smallest size. Starbucks is a little bit tricky. They always ask you, "Grande or Venti?". It looks like there are only 2 options, but no, you can order for "Tall", which is a small but really enough cup. I always order that.
• If all else fails... Well, if you still want that holiday-exclusive Peppermint blended beverage, share with a friend. It'll save up many calories. And oh God i can't believe i have to remind you again: HOLD THE WHIP.

VERDICT:
You shouldn't be too worried of drinking coffee, especially if you only drink brewed coffee, or coffee with no added sugar and the extra extra i told you earlier. A little sugar wouldn't hurt. But whipped cream will seriously break your diet--and you don't even need that, i mean, whipped cream? Get it?
