Drinking coffee every day can have a range of potential long-term effects on your body, both positive and negative. The beneficial effects of drinking coffee regularly include its anti-inflammatory benefits, boosting cardiovascular health, supporting brain function, and even providing protective benefits for your liver. However, too much coffee can have drawbacks. It may impact your sleep regularity, trigger migraines or headaches, increase eye pressure, and affect pregnancy. Finding the right balance is key to maximizing the benefits of your daily cup of coffee while avoiding potential negative effects.
