What was bad news now is good news for coffee lovers. Previous findings have shown that coffee may increase the risk of serious diseases and associated with everything from headaches to cancer. But new research published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, more than 100,000 coffee lovers, including 84 000 women showed that women who drank two or three cups of coffee per day were 25 percent less likely to die of heart disease (the leading cause of death for women). Coffee drinkers were also found 18 percent less likely to die of something other than cancer or heart disease.
Recent research shows that coffee habit can actually help you live longer, reduce the risk of premature death, protects you from other ailments. According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, had people over 65 who drank four or more cups of coffee a day a 53 percent lower risk of heart disease than non-coffee-drinking. It can also reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, protect brain against Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, gallstones and the fight against liver and colon cancer by filtering out pollutants and keep your digestive system running smoothly.
Why the sudden change in the results? Simply because most early studies focused on caffeine, and some – such as the studies that show coffee-drinking women had a higher risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) than non-drinking “- failed to take into account other risk factors, such as smoking, diet or alcohol consumption. Recent research looks beyond the caffeine to evaluate other substances in coffee, including antioxidants and other substances that provide health benefits to protect body cells from damage.
A recent study by Joe A. Vinson, a chemistry professor at the University of Scranton, Pennsylvania, it was found that the antioxidants in one cup of coffee, whether your coffee is caffeinated is quantitatively superior source the antioxidants in them, a typical serving of grapes, dates, blueberries, raspberries and oranges. Coffee may be the primary source of antioxidants that we only consume more coffee than any other source of antioxidants.
“ As Americans drink so much coffee, they get more of their antioxidants from coffee than from any other dietary source. Nothing else comes close , says Joe Vinson.
They concluded that the average adult consuming 1299 mg of antioxidants daily from coffee. The closest was the second largest tea at 294 milligrams. The second highest source of bananas was 76 mg, dry beans at 72 mg and 48 mg of corn, the typical adult American.
It does not mean you should stop eating fruit and vegetables, which clearly has a much higher nutritional value, higher content of vitamins , minerals and fiber. Sad to say that Americans are not eating enough fruit and vegetables, but rather, on average, they drink first 64 cups of coffee daily coffee is the biggest source of antioxidants as the Board of Agriculture.
; Overall, the decision to consume coffee based on your personal health profile. Drink this. Also, keep in mind that, like any other herb or other substance you can consume, the dose is very important. Few people will be particularly disturbed by one or two cups coffee, however, on the negative side, coffee can cause a variety of problems for sensitive individuals, especially for those gulping in large doses.
