Drinking coffee reduces the risks of a number of dangerous pathologies.
Drinking coffee is useful not only for raising tone and improving performance. Its intake is a preventive measure for many diseases, including the most dangerous and life-threatening ones – KP reported this.
Based on the latest scientific data, the publication listed the diseases whose risk is reduced by regular and proper coffee consumption.
Heart disease. Drinking one or two cups of coffee per day reduces the likelihood of heart disease and stroke (as well as the likelihood of death from their consequences).
“New research suggests that caffeine in moderate amounts does not provoke abnormal heart rhythms.”
Liver disease.Drinking coffee is useful for protection not only from heart disease, but also from liver pathologies – there is a lot of evidence for this. In particular, it has been noted that people who regularly drink coffee have a 21% reduced risk of developing chronic liver diseases and specifically hepatocellular carcinoma (the most common type of liver cancer).
Diabetes. Coffee helps the body process glucose more efficiently – this reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Cancer.Natural freshly brewed coffee is the richest source of antioxidants with anti-inflammatory action. Scientists associate its intake with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer and uterine cancer.
Alzheimer's disease. Caffeine improves the activity of brain cells and reduces the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, dementia, even in hypertensive patients who are susceptible to these pathologies.
What is the best way to drink coffee? Doctors advise not to add sugar to it, and if possible (if the body accepts it normally) milk and cream. It is important not to abuse the drink (not to drink more than 3 cups a day), take into account individual susceptibility to caffeine and refrain from taking it after 15:00.
