US cardiologist Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj warns that sugar and caffeine dependency may accelerate aging by triggering stress, inflammation, and arterial damage. Chronic caffeine keeps the body in fight-or-flight mode, raising cortisol and blood pressure while disrupting sleep and energy. Neurologist Dr. Sudhir Kumar adds that sugary, cream-laden coffee diminishes its health benefits. Experts recommend black or lightly sweetened coffee and moderate intake to protect heart health, improve sleep, and slow biological aging.
