What are dangers of coffee addiction?

If a person drinks too much coffee, it can lead to a number of problems, says gastroenterologist and nutritionist Nuriya Dianova (Russia).

She told Ura.ru that if a person drinks too much coffee, like 8 to 10 cups a day, the nervous system becomes overexcited. Coffee also disrupts sleep, lowers performance, impairs receptivity, makes the heart work overtime, and causes heartburn. Moreover, in men, coffee abuse also negatively affects erections.

"And if a man also smokes at the same time, a balance is necessary," warned the specialist.

In turn, nutritionist Irina Pisareva noted that coffee forms a small addiction due to the tonic effect. However, it is possible to get rid of coffee addiction for only 3 weeks.

If a person who used to drink a lot of coffee suddenly stops doing it, he usually faces a bad feeling - the body demands caffeine. However, if you don't drink coffee for 3 weeks, the addiction will be defeated.
