Advantages and Disadvantages of Drinking Coffee

We most intake a caffeine in the form of coffee. I’ve been noticing that I drink for about 2-3 or more glasses a day of coffee. I just a little worried cause some says that too much caffeine is not good in our health. But as a programmer or say it a ‘trying hard programmer’, I need a cup of coffee to make me alive in the middle of the night.

So I made a research.

According to the American Dietetic Association’s Complete Food and Nutrition Guide, “For most healthy adults, moderate amounts of caffeine 200 to 300 milligrams a day, or about two cups of coffee poses no physical problem.”.


That proves my above statement.

But I write, too much is too much. So when you sip 3 cups of coffee a day, it will be harmful on your health. ‘Cause everything too much is not good.


And here is the list of advantages why most of us sip a cup coffee:

• Keep You Awake and Alert
  Most main reason why most of us drinks a cup of coffee a day. Coffee can boost concentration and therefore makes you more alert and awake.
• Cut the Risk of Heart Disease by 25% for Women
• Cut the Risk of Diabetes by 60%
• Cut the Risk of Dementia by 65%
• Cut the Risk of Colon Cancer by 50%
• Lowered Risk of Advanced Prostate Cancer
• Lowered Risk of Alzheimer Disease by 65%
• Cut the Risk of Cirrhosis by 80%
• Cut the Risk of Gallstones by Almost 50%
• Cut the Risk of Stroke by 43% for Women
• Cut the Risk of Parkinson Disease by 80%
• Lowered the Risk of Committing Suicide by 60% for Women
• High Level of Antioxidants
• Caffeine acts as decongestant as it opens narrowed bronchial tubes.

And here is the list of disadvantages:

• Too much coffee can be addictive, stimulate, and a mood charger
• Excess in take of coffee can cause anxiety, nervousness and depression
• Stomach upset
  Coffee can cause ulcer. Coffee without solid food can damage the stomach.
• Insomnia
  
• Restlessness
  
• Irritability
  
• Fast heartbeat
  
• Muscle tremors

To conclude, coffee is not bad in our health but taking too much of it will.

So, cheers! I will prepare my cup of coffee later. And again, monitor your daily consumption.

Subscribed on Other's Facebook Updates Without Me Knowing

I recently found out that I am subscribed to others updates.

But to tell you the truth, I don't even know that I click subscribe on their facebook profile.. I don't really know what happens there.

But thinking overnight, maybe it happens when you are trying to add someone on facebook, instead of clicking Add Friend, you click Subscribe without you realizing. It happens on me already, that's why I'm considering. And also, I'm referring to Add Friend on facebook on their profile on when Timeline is not yet used by that facebook user.

Because Subscribe button is just right next to Add Friend.  So maybe it always happens.

And you will see on your dashboard Home on facebook this if you are subscribed on that person.

If you see a triangle on upper right corner of your friend's profile picture, it indicates that you are subscribe on their  updates.

 And one thing more, I am confused on facebook subscribe matters, because when I saw my facebook Subscriptions, I just subscribe to 3 people, but when I go to my home dashboard on facebook, I saw many subscriptions, like the above picture.

What's wrong facebook?

I just want to clear it all here. Because I don't want other people think I subscribe to their updates.
