- Is coffee good for the brain, heart, and liver? Find out: bit.ly/2Gd6GYy
One of the most common questions I’ve been getting recently is, “Is coffee bad for you?” The answer is, yes … and no.
Coffee is beneficial because it contains massive amounts of antioxidants, which help slow the ageing process and protect you from free radical damage. Coffee also helps stimulate the liver and increases circulation, helping blood flow to the brain.
Coffee can be harmful in some ways because of the amount of caffeine it contains. The caffeine in coffee can overstimulate the body, burn out your adrenal glands, and overtax your body.
About 80% of people in the world will struggle with thyroid problems or fatigue issues. For this group, I wouldn’t recommend coffee because it will burn out your adrenal glands. However, if you’re generally healthy, then drinking coffee in moderate amounts can be fine, and even good for your health. I wouldn’t recommend drinking coffee past lunch time because it can affect your sleep cycle that night.
Depending on the condition of your body, if you’re suffering from an autoimmune disease, coffee can make your disease worse. If you’re pretty healthy, looking for a pick-me-up, or looking for more antioxidants, then coffee can provide you with these benefits. When picking out your coffee beans, I would recommend choosing all natural, organic coffee because it’s one of the most highly sprayed plants in the world. Lastly, if you’re looking for a great substitute for coffee, I would suggest drinking matcha green tea because it has great benefits and one-third the amount of caffeine.

I don't eat or drink anything. I just slowly breath in air and hope for the best!
Healthy Chef Jimmy Show nice
@@melvinmossberg9731 lol
Polluted air
There’s pollutants and chemicals in the air better think twice
Foolish comment, was that your attempt at humour✔
im drinking coffee and watching this
RyanPlays me too, black
Haha, me too! :)
Alex Cargill I just some coffee from Sainsbury's now am wondering if I should keep.
Me too
RyanPlays Damn dude same here we r bit similar lol😂😂😂❄
I stop drinking coffee and my productivity increased. Also, I go sleep so much better. Not going back to drinking anything with caffeine. Used to drink coffee every day because of work but now, I'm happy for quiting the drug.
Yes me too! My skin also completely cleared of acne.
Me too. It actually gave me extreme dehydration until I got vertigo, dry skin, migraines, and constipation. I do computer programming so headaches and vertigo made me unable to work. Kind of ironic, right?! Not going back again after seeing the effects on my body and my sleep. More productive without it.
same
How much coffee did you drink because I drink one cup in the morning and I have clear skin and I sleep like a baby at night.Aim also vegan so I don’t eat no animal products
I can drink coffee right before bed and it doesn't seem to affect my sleep 😅
Great video. I gave up coffee last November. Haven't had one sip since. My anxiety, depression, energy levels, sleep patterns and ability to focus have improved drastically. I am a tea drinker solely.
wow!! i wonder if its because the caffeine in tea is different, or because you drink the same amount and tea has about half the caffine of coffee or maybe its because the tea has other qualities within it that had those wonderful effects on you
"The answer is yes and no" That's what I have been writing in exams from years
The answer is always yes and no because everyone's biology is different. He's telling the truth and he's absolutely right regardless of our opinions
hahaha

You must be a Political Science major! 😂
Lol
Lol
"coffee lovers" is the polite way of saying "coffee addicts"
Coke lovers 😍
heroine lovers 😍
meth lovers 😍
XTC lovers😍
the replies i'm crying
moderation is key.
Like beer?
even one cup per day will give withdrawal symptoms if you skip it.
Not for me. I went from all the time did the damage moderate only perpetuates the problem 😩
2 weeks coffee and black tea free! Feeling hydrated and sleeping better. I still have green tea and dark chocolate though. I very well might go back to drinking coffee, but I feel a break every now and then is a good thing.
Amy Parker same. I try occasionally to switch to tea. And I'll drink black tea with two bags!!!
Why you eat chocolate then???
Coffee isn't dehydrating that's a myth
I became so addicted to coffee, especially iced coffee. It caused me so much acid reflux, raised my blood pressure, dehydration and fatigue.
I'm a transverse myelitis patient, who had to learn to walk again, about six years ago. One of my continuing problems is fatigue issues. And since I gave up coffee over 26 years ago, I've found green tea to be just the thing to get me to punch through my days without crashing out at odd moments during the day.
I’m fully addicted to coffee. I’m going to quit today. Thank you for this video.
I liked what you said about drinking organic coffee only. I switched to organic a while ago and I recently got some Non-organic Starbucks coffee and I noticed such a difference. It seriously made me angry and on edge rather than just a simple boost of energy. I imagine it’s the negative affects of all of the pesticides that were on the beans that I was in turn ingesting.
Try Longrich Decaffeinated Cordyceps Militaris Coffee and you will never drink another coffee again
It's not peciticides. It's just either more caffiene or more additives. There will never in a million years be enough pesticide on any food consumed to do anything to the human body. The body has filters for toxins and people forget that. The bad toxins are in such tiny amounts that If your body is even remotely healthy than it will purge that foreign agents out.
Same. I've been drinking coffee everyday since I was 7 years old!
I have two issues with coffee though I love mines broiled over an open flame til it’s miserable.
1. Stains your teeth.
2. Dehydrates you.
I love your 5 second intro. Some of these youtube channels have a full minute and more. Drives me crazy.
One more thing to consider - what you add to your coffee - if you have a latte with vanilla syrup added or cafe mocha etc.. It is these additions that can change the healthiness of any drink, including coffee. So what the doctor states - only applies to black coffee with no additions
For me Everything in moderation.
Everything in moderation; including moderation.
OMG I've been suffering with Autoimmune Thyroid for years and not once have I heard from any of my Doctors that coffee is bad for me. I drink a ton of it, that's why this news is a shock to me. Along with Autoimmune problems I've suffered with depression my whole life. To clarify, my depression is so bad that I am on disability due to it. Coffee has been something I've clinged to that has been the only thing at times to get me out of bed on so many days. Not only does it have a comforting taste to me but it gives me the little bit of hope that maybe after I drink some I will have the energy to face the day and not go back to sleep. I've known I drink it way more then the average person and people have commented about not understanding how i can handle drinking that much of it (12 cups/day) without getting jittery. Now after watching this video I'm scared that I've destroyed my adrenals which I'm guessing would cause fatigue, which I have in abundance. Is this really a possibility? Something I've been relying on to keep me going is actually slowing me down and probably from the sounds of it even making my depression worse??? That would be for people with hormonal issues, burning out your adrenal glands as you put it (kind of like some drugs that make you high but deplete your Serotonin and then you crash is how it sounds to me), but why exactly did u so avidly also speak AGAINST coffee for Autoimmune people if it is so full of antioxidants? Could you clarify that please? I'm trying to wrap my head around this whole idea.
One cup of coffee is healthy. Too much of it is unhealthy.
TopSantii Like everything.
Not true. Bullshit platitude.
TopSantii no. It's more healthy what more you drink that, one cup do actually nothing yet, should drink a lot coffee, it's benefit and more healthy than one cup.
TopSantii too much of anything is unhealthy
Can't have too much Decaf though. .. for good health.
Im good. I drink 1-2 cups every morning!
Thank you for keeping your videos short, to the point, and easy to understand.
Yep, I gave up coffee and started drinking tea. My adrenal glands recovered in about two weeks and I no longer need mid-day naps.
I don't think coffee is "one of the 5 highest foods in antioxidants today". It is however, one of the top 5 WAYS Americans get their antioxidants...because it is so frequently consumed. One of the top 5 sources today, but not one of the top 5 foods highest in antioxidants.
I switched out coffee and replaced it with four ounces of non-sweet pure 100% blueberry juice added to my daily drinking water. It speaks for itself… and my body noticed the positive change very quickly. After cutting out most sugars, I now use 100% pure organic pomegranate juice when I want something sweeter in this oh-so-toxic world.
Always 100%, unless you are giving blood.
Hate tea, love coffee. I've been drinking 2 expressos every day for 30 years and I'm in great health. Problem is - if you forget or for some reason don't have your coffee at the usual time a serious headache always ensues.
Absolutely love these videos man
Thanks for making them
Every few days I'll have a half cup or so. I can really feel the caffeine (~80mg) I don't understand how people drink a whole pot and don't die.
To die from caffeine you'll have take gallons of coffee. Of course you'll die from overhydration or stomach burst first
Nikk Crowley i know
Practice ☕️
Man, I cannot go a morning without a cup of coffee
+leonardo hernandez
Aaaaaaand that's the reason why it's bad
A pleasure will stop being a pleasure when it becomes a necesity.
same here! i'm incomplete without a 2 cups of coffee daily.haha
That's true.
Yes....yes you can.
You're the truth bub. Keep putting out the truths about positives and negatives. Non-biased content. Thank you!
Hello, Dr. Ax! We are so grateful to find you, providing us healing through-out the food. Thank you and God Bless You!
I had a shirt like that 35 years ago.
nice shirt
*****. I am glad you like it. I really had a shirt just like it when I was in college about 35 years ago. I am amazed by that.
haha
KeeGan Paul
I'm serious. I really did have that shirt. It was exactly the same... about 30 to 35 years ago in college. It's crazy!
+Jeff Krueger awesome man , I maybe thought you were joking , but now I know you are serious because you mentioned you were serious about it.
Hey, Josh; great videos! I wonder what you could say about decaffeinated coffee? I can study the subject myself but you're input is valued and you appear to often respond to questions. Thanks!
loving the answer :) so what i noticed when i started to buy high quality organic coffee is the color of the beans: its a much lighter roast. Industrially produced coffee is generally over roasted and all my local coffee experts agree on that. The lighter the roast, the better it can be for our stomach.... but, i am not a Doctor. That are my experiences and what i learned from coffee roasters and owners of local coffee shops and my body.
Never been a coffee drinker until lately. Sometimes I have get up at 2 am for work and it's a really good pick me up.
This is huge, I have an autoimmune disease and I never even considered coffee (which I drink quite a bit of) could be adding to the problem. I’m so glad I found this video!
This is very informative. I love iced coffee and drink it a few times a week. I haven't had any problems with caffeine and sleeping. But I was recently told by my doctor that I am in the early stages of an autoimmune disease. I still need to have more testing done. My biggest complaints are fatigue (even after a solid nine hours of sleep) and achy joints. I also have some skin issues that the doc thinks is related to that.
I like the style of your delivery, you have a great approach to giving us this information. (short and sweet) Please provide us sources though so it can't be questioned that you're making this up from someone else who told you this.
Thank you very much, sir! I really like your content and information.
GREAT VIDEO! I have had a chronic problem with swelling in my feet and ankles. I happened to try to eliminate coffee to see the effects of that. After no coffee for one week the chronic swelling diminished drastically by about 95%. I was shocked. I had recently started to develop plantar fascistic in one foot. Looking back I remember drinking an abnormal amount of soda pop for a 2 week period so, I have cut that out and along with exercise that problem is going away. I am in no was saying coffee or soda is bad. You just have to find what is best for you and what works for you. I still have coffee but not near as often. Same with soda pop.
YES YOU ARE RIGHT
Soda alone is enough to cause you all those problems
I noticed that coffee makes me have anxiety and also makes my bones hurt. I don't understand why but I always pay attention to my body, and it does more damage than good to me. I'm young and healthy and although I love how it tastes I would rather drink tea
Coffee makes your bones hurt because it is known to leech magnesium and CALCIUM from your body and bones. Also, if coffee is making your bones hurt, you are probably already very deficient in vitamin D and calcium. I suggest taking a supplement that is real- not the synthetic products from the grocery store
@@GameChanger597 thanks but I already take plenty of vitamin D and C. I have gone to the doctor also to check my blood and I have been told I'm very healthy. I think the quality of coffee being sold in stores is trash because when I go to mexico and drink pure coffee, it tastes way better and I don't get the same affects.
Hi Dr. Josh Axe, Thanks for your good job.
Thanks for the video
I dont know why but i get anxiety attacks when i drink coffee so im scared to drink even if i want to sometimes .
Me too
+Lakeisha Conkey Agreed. I drank maybe two cups in one sitting and it had the opposite effect that I wanted on my workout. I couldn't even move I was so anxious.
i have generalized anxiety, i drink coffee to calm me down. i guess it has different effects on everyone.
me too...i also get anxiety attacks because of coffee..i don't drink it anymore
Michael Jacob Same here but I love coffee so much I drink it anyway 🤤😬
GREAT VIDEOS MAN!!! keep up the good work ! learned a lot man! super human shake is great man!!! 10/10 !!!

Coffee is very good social drink. Here in north, we drink coffee pretty much (over 1,5litres per day) and we live long and coffee really puts people together.
Thank you for the informative video!
please make a video on how to quit coffee
Coffee is also acidifying for the body, so be sure to eat alkalizing foods.
Eye opener. Thanks.
Great Answer and I really think I should cut down! My heart is racing!!
Great video. Sharing this with my husband and friends. I'm not a coffee drinker, but everyone else around me is.
Awesome, thanks for sharing maddie2781!
+Navjot Singh I KNOW I AM SKEEEEEEEEEEETTTskeet
+maddie2781 holy fuck you're hot
Maddie, it is absoltely ok, also coffee producers must live from some money, so coffee production is ok
ivanwesteurope yeah coffee is big business, 15c worth of beans could turn into $5 cup of coffee if you have a fancy coffee bar/cups . That's the business I would go into if I had money
A cup of coffee in the morning before yoga.. moderation is key.
1 line of cocaine before work everything in moderation
Very useful, thanks.
Good information. Thank you!
Wow I never knew that. I'm sooo glad I watched this video because I love coffee, but I have thyroid problems & recently I have an auto immune disease too. I'll definitely switch to tea! Thanks & God bless.
Prayers for the auto immune🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
...nice to see another Kit......
besides just me😇
This is really helpful. Now im just going to drink coffee once a month!
If you liked this video, you may also want to know that Research shows that coffee can help with mental alertness, type 2 diabetes, weight loss, Parkinson’s, prevention of cardiovascular disease, and may prevent gallbladder disease!
I had a coffee before I went to bed and it is now 4:08am still wide awake
FANTASTIC INFO...THANK YOU !!!
I just subscribe to your channel you are amazing!
Love your videos! THank you! I do have a question, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, soon after entering menopause. No tests done other than TSH, T3 and T4 and given levo medication for the thyroid. I'm trying to do things much more naturally, get off the meds, and take more selenium/kelp and other vitamins. But my main question is, in the morning, I love getting one cappuccino, with 2% organic milk, organic mild, low acid coffee, and two teas of raw sugar in the morning with my vega one protein shake with bee pollen, chia/flax/hemp seed. Should I still stay away from this one coffee? I don't do it for energy, but merely for taste and it doesn't seem to energize me. Thank you for your feedback, you are really great and love your videos and information! And by the way, I am a totally organic, supplement taking person as it is with only organic chicken, and sometimes sardines and fish.
Very interesting!! Well explained...
GREAT VIDEO thank you.
What is an organic coffee? Can anyone name several brands and where to buy them?
Yerba mate is also a great alternative. It has chlorophyll and is alkalizing.
Chlorophyll? MORE LIKE BOROPHYLL!
I drink two cups of black coffee with no sugar every morning and then the rest of the day drink a variety of organic decaf teas with no sugar or milk.
Honestly it took me a long time to get used to both without milk, sugar, honey and other flavor enhancers, now i love just straight up plain coffee and tea.
thanks Dr Axe. I always come to your videos for advice your always have good info and facts 😇
What about a naturally decaffeinated coffee using Swiss Water method? Would that be better?
good quality coffee without artificial sweeteners and milk or artificial creamer is fine i like mine dark with a lil stevia :)
i thought expresso was anti inflammatory
I appreciate the honest response. Thank you for sharing 😀
If you liked this video, you may also want to know that there's research out there saying that coffee makes heart and vessel disease (cardiovascular disease) worse because it raises LDL cholesterol, but that’s not the whole story! We now know that LDL particles can either be large and buoyant, or small and dense. When LDL particles are large and buoyant, they can help decrease risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). And coffee can transition LDL particles from small and dense to large and buoyant, decreasing CVD risk!
I have a cup of coffee early in the morning and sometimes a cup of coffee in the early afternoon and that's about my coffee consumption. Once in a while in a blue moon I drink a cup of coffee in the early evening
I believe rooibos tea is caffeine free.
You're right, actually it's a completely different plant
What about decaf coffee, does it still give the benefits you mentioned in the video? Great video, btw. Just subscribed :)
Decaf is fine as long as it is still organic and they used the Swiss Water process to reduce the caffeine.
a very very great explanation thank you Dr Axe!
All the treatment should be common and easy...
Thanksss for such Lovely information...
Love to see all videos...
Is 1 cofee everyday in long term period good for you?
Who’s watching this while drinking coffee ☕️ 🙋🏻♂️
It's great but you'll develop tolerance to it in a short period of time and will have to increase the amount to get that high. Giving it a break on the week offs is a great way to decrease dependency.
3:17 glitch on matrix.
haha lol
Decaf??? I love my coffee but had major panic attacks last summer..
Jennifer Davis if u keep having panic attacks or anxiety..i would recommend u read a book called DARE ..it the most effective method on anxiety and panic.. u can look up Panicaway online
@@dianepetty1525 Diane I'm on day 180 no fap I drink coffee on and off for 6 months my errection grew by 1 inch I have a monster dick I love coffee

Thank you doc for the information,I like it.God bless.
Love all your videos
You did not mention decaf? Does decaf have anti-oxidants, and is it good for us?
TigerWild yes decaf has anti oxidants
I almost throw up 😲😵😷😞😣😢
Since changing to organic coffee my headaches have stopped I even went back to try my old coffee when I ran out I has banging headaches straight away I also use organic coconut suger I never thought I could but it's lovely.
Thank you docter axe for the information
Is decaf better for you?
I have a milky coffee every night at bedtime and sleep like a baby..
OMG so am I 😁

There's little point trying to reason with an addict. Let them destroy their body.
All the treatments are common and easy...
Thanksss for such Lovely informations ...
Love to see all videos.....
Dr.Josh. I love your channel, but I differ with you a little bit on Coffee.
As far as addiction to Coffee due to caffeine or any other component is concerned, it makes no sense according to me.
Dependent behavior?
Are you not supposed to be dependent on food?
Coffee is a food, not a drug such as tobacco or alcohol and it has nutritional value as stated by you.
Besides that, Adrenal Fatigue.
There cannot be adrenal fatigue if you work out regularly in moderate amount. So, no physical movement is to be blamed. It is not Coffee that really causes adrenal fatigue. People don't move all day and then suddenly expect spikes of energy through stimulants like Coffee. So, what is to be blamed? Sluggish lymphatic circulation due to lack of movement or Coffee?
My point is, Coffee is a good stimulant and awesome, but it cannot make out for lack of exercise like people expect.
Coffee Is Just Awesome. I even see a lot of people even doctors who put Coffee in the same category as tobacco and alcohol. According to me, they are simply retarded. Coffee is seen as an addictive drug just like cigarettes and alcohol, which it is absolutely not. These substances only harm the body. Coffee benefits the body as you pointed out.
I want to say that Coffee is a food, not a drug. Idiots have given it a bad reputation and so many people are deprived of its amazingness. Even those who sip coffee at Starbucks all day, I wonder what are they really addicted to? Caffeine or Sugar?
Ppp
PSA: ORGANIC DOES NOT MEAN NOT SPRAYED WITH PESTICIDES
Thanks so much great video a help everyone with your message 🙌🙌🙋
Thank you Dr. Axe! A very balanced and comprehensive account! Don't overdo coffee so enjoy it with moderation.
Moderation is key! Sometimes I like to switch things up with a matcha tea instead. Learn more about other energizing alternatives to coffee here: draxe.com/nutrition/energizing-alternatives-to-coffee/?
What about decaf?
what about green coffee non caffeinated ?
Maitreya One might check out the chemical processing of decaf & see if that's an issue for you.
Doctor.. If you read me I just wanted to let you know I've always loved your videos because they're brief and beneficial to me. Much love from Saudi Arabia & UAE. ♥️♥️♥️
Thankyou good information.
Coffee has really no effect on me it just makes me sleepy
It's because coffee drops your blood sugar, if you add sugar to your coffee it will only give you a short burst of energy.
That's why drinking coffee in the morning makes me hungry! It never use to do that, but as I age I think I have changed. As well as I think I am suffering with how axis dysfunction. (Adrenal fatigue)
I never drink coffee again I'm hurt of coffee
Great video!!!!
Is coffee good to put on your skin daily
Ashley Bea the hell
I love to take pre-workouts with a lot of cafeïne in it and train hard! I make a lot of gainzzzz.
