A new study shows if you are healthy and do not suffer from high blood pressure, you may not have to cut back on coffee.

Caffeine in the short-term can increase blood pressure.

Therefore, drinking coffee has been linked to an increase in the risk of high blood pressure over time.

But based on a study, healthy women who drank up to six cups of coffee every day had no more risk of developing high blood pressure than those who did not drink it.

On the other hand, women who drank coffee in moderation, between one and three cups a day, had a higher risk of developing high blood pressure than heavy drinkers or non-coffee drinkers.

A possible reason is that drinking several cups of coffee a day may increase tolerance to the blood-pressure-raising effects of caffeine.

In men, it did not matter how much coffee they drank, the risk of high blood pressure did not increase.

However, coffee has some health benefits as well in healthy people, such as lowering the risk of diabetes.
