Up to three cups of coffee a day can be considered a moderate amount for most people, said doctor-rehabilitator Sergey Agapkin on the air of "О замем главном" program of "Россия 1" TV channel.
According to the doctor, moderate coffee consumption has been linked to some positive health effects in many studies, but five cups a day already exceeds the amount at which these benefits are usually observed. Agapkin mentioned three cups a day as the limit.
At the same time, the effect of coffee can be different depending on the organism. In people whose bodies break down caffeine slowly, even a cup of coffee drunk in the morning can make it difficult to fall asleep in the evening. In such cases, the specialist recommends limiting or giving up caffeinated coffee.
