A study presented at the (American College of Cardiology) ACC Asia 2024 Conference India, according to Healthline, indicated that individuals who take more over 400 mg of caffeine per day may be more susceptible to cardiovascular disease.
Nency Kagathara, the primary study author, from the Department of Internal Medicine at Zydus Medical College and Hospital in India said that regular coffee use may disrupt the parasympathetic nervous system, which could raise heart rates and blood pressure.
"We wanted to find out how long-term caffeine use affects heart health, specifically how quickly the heart rate and blood pressure recover," the speaker continued.
In this investigation, 92 adults without high blood pressure problems between the ages of 18 and 45 were assessed by the researchers.
Additionally, they tracked the amount of caffeinated drinks each day (five days a week) for more than a year, and they discovered that approximately 20% of the subjects drank more than 400 mg of caffeine per day.
A daily caffeine intake over 400 mg "was shown to significantly impact the autonomic nervous system, raising the heart rate and blood pressure over time," according to the study's news release.
Experts also stressed that while eating coffee is not harmful to your health, it is crucial to limit how much you consume each day.
A non-participating interventional cardiologist named Cheng-Han Chen, MD, proposed that a moderate daily consumption of coffee may lower the risk of endometrial cancer, Type 2 diabetes, and liver cancer.
