Have your colleagues often looked at you at an angle because you drink so
much coffee? We give you a good reason to pour in again: a British study proves
that coffee is good for your health!
The recommendations regarding coffee enjoyment have always been
contradictory. Some say it is harmful to drink too much coffee. The others
praise the good health effects. According to a British study, the latter are
right: coffee is good for your health!
A British research team has evaluated nearly 200 studies on coffee
consumption. They came to the conclusion that a moderate coffee consumption of
three to four cups a day protects against many a disease and even lets us live
longer.
Coffee, which contains caffeine, has a stimulating effect on the body.
Renal function increases in the short term and the vessels in the body are
dilated. This helps the body to prevent certain diseases. Coffee drinkers
therefore have a lower risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, suffering
from a stroke or developing liver carcinoma. But the chance of getting
Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, depression and Type II diabetes can also be reduced
with a few cups of coffee a day. Coffee is a panacea, especially for the heart.
In addition, drinking coffee is healthy because it helps "flush" the arteries
freely. Coffee drinkers have less calcification in their arteries, which can
otherwise contribute to a heart attack.
