Show Notes

Coffee has many health benefits beyond just caffeine. It can help with hydration, cholesterol levels, type 2 diabetes, chronic liver disease, and reduce the risk of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. It is important to wait at least 30 days after bariatric surgery before consuming caffeine. Filtered coffee is recommended to avoid increasing cholesterol levels. Regular coffee consumption of three to four cups a day, whether caffeinated or decaffeinated, can provide potential health benefits.
