“Too much of everything is detrimental,” says an old saying. This is certainly true with foods, too. There are many super healthy foods, but eating too much of them could be seriously harmful.
Here are 8 incredibly healthy foods that can harm you if you eat too much of them.
Coffee
Attention coffee-lovers: While coffee is a wonderful beverage that is loaded with antioxidants and is linked with numerous health benefits (e.g. reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, and liver diseases).
Caffeine is coffee’s active ingredient. Each cup of coffee contains an average of 80-to129 mg. The amount of caffeine considered to be safe is 400 mg a day.
On the other hand, consuming more than 500–600 mg per day can be excessive. This may overwhelm the nervous system, causing insomnia, nervousness, irritability, stomach cramps, heart palpitations and muscle tremors.
