Good news for coffee lovers, it's okay to indulge in a few cups of high leaded Joe! In fact, several studies have shown caffeinated coffee to be beneficial for your health. That said, certain people should definitely decaffeinate and here's the rundown:
-People who are caffeine sensitive: caffeine will exacerbate restlessness, anxiety, irritability and/or headaches.
-People with sleeping issues: caffeine tends to stay in your system anywhere from 3-8 hours. So depending on your personal sensitivity - you'll want to stop drinking accordingly.
-People with gastrointestinal problems: A dose of caffeine may irritate your stomach if you have irritable bowel syndrome or ulcers.
-People with elevated blood pressure or abnormal heart rhythms: in this case, your personal physician knows best.
