What You Don't Know About Coffee may Pleasantly Surprise You
Stop drinking coffee: boost your health. Is this true? Recent studies show that the health benefits of coffee can be great - moderation is key.
Once upon a time, quitting coffee was a prerequisite for establishing a healthy diet and adopting a healthier lifestyle. Lately, though, several recent research studies into coffee drinking have discovered that coffee health benefits are actually some you won’t want to miss. Everything in moderation.
At first, I suspected the pro-coffee studies were simply from funded front groups within various sectors of the coffee industry. But eventually I started seeing some names I trust carrying the same news.
However, the negative health effects of excess coffee consumption, which varies from individual to individual, remain. Thus posing the dilemma of balancing both positive and negative health effects if we prefer drinking coffee to abstaining completely.
Coffee’s Protective Aspects
It’s not just the caffeine, but a synergistic combination of caffeine and a natural compound that stimulates higher blood levels of GCSF (granulocyte colony stimulating factor), which protects the brain from dementia and degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
There also seems to be lower rates of diabetes and strokes among coffee drinkers, according to another study involving almost 35,000 women and published in the American Heart Association’s journal, Stroke.
The protections against the diseases noted in the studies were very substantial. Since coffee beans are loaded with antioxidants, coffee should ideally be consumed without dairy, sugar, or artificial sweeteners. Sweetening with Stevia would be okay.
And forget the standard pastries and cigarettes normally associated with drinking coffee. Those could be what causes bad health more among coffee drinkers than just coffee
