Health benefits of coffee
1. Prevents gallstone disease
In 2002, Harvard researchers found that women who drank at least four cups of coffee a day had a 25 percent lower risk of developing gallstones. Previous studies have shown similar results for men.
2. Prevents Depression Women who drank two to three cups of coffee every day were 15 percent less likely to develop depression. For those who drink four or more cups of coffee, the figure is as high as 20 percent. This was stated in a 2011 report by the Archive of Internal Medicine.
3. Improves memory Coffee helps improve both short-term and long-term memory. A 2005 study by the Radiological Society of North America found that consuming two cups of caffeinated coffee improved short-term memory and memory speed. Although scientists have already realized that coffee reduces the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, researchers at the University of South Florida were only able to explain this link in 2011. They recommend drinking 4-5 cups of coffee per day to increase the granulocytic colonial stimulating factor, which is thought to be a cause of memory-related problems, reduced in GCSF or Alzheimer’s disease.
4. Reduces the risk of diabetes Studies show that people who consume coffee are less prone to developing type 2 diabetes because the risk of developing the disease is reduced by 50 percent or more. An article published in the January 2012 issue of the Journal of Agricultural & Food Chemistry explains why. In particular, specific substances in coffee block the polypeptide - hIAPP, which leads to the breakdown of protein fibers.
5. Reduces the risk of cancer Today, coffee consumption has been proven to reduce the risk of developing breast cancer. A 2011 study by Breast Cancer Research found a 20 percent reduction in the incidence of this type of cancer in regular coffee drinkers. Similar results were obtained for prostate cancer in men.
6. Normalizes metabolism Coffee helps to keep your weight in check and sometimes get rid of excess weight. Caffeine in coffee speeds up metabolism, while chlorogenic acid reduces glucose absorption.
7. Reduces the risk of Parkinson's disease A study published in 2000 by the Journal of the American Medical Association found that caffeine reduces the risk of Parkinson's disease. In 2010, scientists confirmed this and found that consuming two and three cups of coffee a day reduced the chances of developing the disease by 25 percent.
8. Antioxidant properties Harvard University researcher Edward Giovannucci noted in his study Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention that coffee contains more antioxidants than most fruits and vegetables. In 2005, another study showed that coffee was a major source of antioxidants in the American diet.
9. Increases Productivity We are all familiar with the invigorating properties of a cup of refreshing coffee. Caffeine increases energy flow, endurance, focus, and sensitivity in the short term. These situations can come in handy when performing an important task.
10. Prevents Gout According to a 2007 study, regular coffee consumption significantly reduces the risk of gout and other diseases associated with increased uric acid levels. It should be noted that the positive effect was observed in both normal and caffeine coffee consumption.
