So much has been said about these so-called magical beans. If you’re familiar with the legend, you’d know why it’s

A story is told about an Ethiopian goat herder named Kaldi, in the Kaffe region of Ethiopia, about 800 AD. After consuming the red berries, he noted how alert and animated his goats became and how they even stayed awake during the night. Whether true or not, we do know that if we want to stay awake, alert, alive, and enthusiastic at night , coffee is typically the first thing that comes to mind as a solution .

In all of these years of my romance with coffee, I have read so much stuff about it — the good, the bad, the verified, as well as the *still* unverified bits about it. My doctor at the Asian Breast Center in Centuria Medical Makati even advised me to go easy on my consumption and I don’t even go beyond five cups daily. To him, as an expert in his field, when it comes to taking care of one’s health, it’s really better to prevent a disease than cure one.

While these benefits of drinking coffee are exciting, remember that moderation is key. Also for some people, coffee can cause irritability, nervousness, and anxiety when taken in high doses. It can also affect the quality of your sleep or may cause insomnia. I have a friend who seems to be allergic to coffee. Whenever she takes more than two or three sips, she feels as though there is a thick lump in her throat which gives her discomfort.

Usually, it takes about six hours for the effects of the caffeine to wear off so keep that in mind when drinking coffee, especially at night, unless you intend to stay up all night. If you are planning to lessen your intake, do it gradually. Avoid doing cold turkey quitting as it can lead to undesirable withdrawal symptoms such as headaches and fatigue that may last for days.

Starbucks Philippines decided it’s time to turn over a new leaf and shake things up a little by introducing warm flavors of fall that may just make you fall in love a bit more, if not with coffee and this coffee company, then perhaps with the season.
