Coffee and Your Health
Need that morning cup of java to jump start your day? If you are like most other Americans it is probably not just one. Turns out that the average person drinks at least three cups of coffee a day or more; and this number translates into more than one and a half billion cups consumed worldwide on a daily basis.
But just how healthy is this habit? Some experts have linked it to increased health problems such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes and IBS. While more recent research has refuted these theories and indicates that coffee does not have to be a guilty pleasure. The truth is that coffee is a safe and natural beverage choice. In fact, more and more credible research sources are finding that coffee can even take a preventative role in these same diseases it was thought to cause such as various cancers, diabetes and Parkinson’s’ disease to name a few. Below are a few more reasons why you shouldn’t give up your daily caffeine jolt, as long as you enjoy it all in moderation.
Coffee Benefits
- Coffee is loaded with antioxidants. In fact, it has four times the antioxidant content of green tea. Your cup of java also beats out cocoa, other herbal teas, red wine, and even fruit and vegetables. A tasty cup of brewed coffee boasts 1300 antioxidants!
- A study published in the American Journal of Public Health found that women who drink more coffee have an increase in fertility. This is great news for women who have traditionally stayed away from coffee thinking it was preventing their getting pregnant.
- Caffeine can reduce risks of Parkinson’s. The Journal of the American Medical Association published an article in 2000 indicating that higher coffee and caffeine intake is associated with significantly lower Parkinson’s incidence.
- Coffee can help prevent the onset of diabetes. While lifestyle and healthy food choices are equally important, coffee plays a positive role in this process helping to cut diabetes risk as much as 30 per cent.
- Coffee does not raise blood pressure. Coffee drinkers may experience a slight increase when first exposed to caffeine. However, blood pressure levels quickly return to baseline as tolerance develops very quickly, within two to three days.
- Choosing to drink filtered coffee can help to lower your bad cholesterol and increase the good.
