Yes, coffee can be healthy for you. According to nutrition experts from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, coffee contains caffeine, antioxidants, and other active substances that may reduce internal inflammation and protect against disease. However, it's important to consume it in moderation.

Coffee, or more specifically caffeine, has several effects on the body. It is well absorbed and the short-term effects are usually experienced between 5 and 30 minutes after consumption. These effects can include increased breathing and heart rate, and increased mental alertness and physical energy. Depending on the individual, these effects can last up to 12 hours.

For individuals with fatty liver disease, black coffee is recommended. This is because people with this condition often have problems like diabetes and obesity, and it's important not to add extra fat and sugar to the coffee. If you can't stomach it black, it's suggested to swap sugar for artificial sweeteners.

Lighter roasts generally have less caffeine and more antioxidants than darker roasts, making them potentially healthier. The type of bean can affect the caffeine content, but both Arabica and Robusta beans can give you the full health benefits of coffee.

According to a study by the Mayo Clinic, up to 400 milligrams of caffeine a day appears to be safe for most healthy adults. That's roughly the amount of caffeine in four cups of brewed coffee. However, individual tolerance to caffeine varies, and excessive consumption can lead to side effects like insomnia, nervousness, restlessness, and rapid heartbeat.
