He also advised on some of the best times to drink it
Dr Michael Mosley has explained how much coffee people should drink a day. He recommends drinking a maximum of three cups a day, reports Chronicle Live.
He has cited a health study which involved half a million people. This study found that "up to three cups is linked to better brain and heart health". Imaging revealed that when compared to non-coffee drinkers, those who enjoyed a daily fix had healthier sized and better functioning hearts, reports The Mirror.
Speaking on his Just One Thing podcast, Dr Mosley explains that coffee can have these benefits because it's rich in flavanols and antioxidants called polyphenols - compounds that improve brain and heart health in addition to their anti-inflammatory effects. However, you should perhaps not have coffee the second you get out of bed.
Dr Mosley suggested drinking a cup of coffee before your work out, as it can make you less prone to fatigue, and also helps change the way you burn fat. Studies with participants on exercise bikes show that a cup of coffee before aerobic exercise can help move fats out of storage and into muscles, while another study found that a cup of coffee before a 30-minute workout can even keep stimulating fat breakdown after you're done.
