According
to Harvard Women's Health, the consumption of several cups of coffee a
day may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, the formation of kidney
stones, colon cancer, Parkinson's disease, liver damage (cirrhosis),
heart disease and inhibit cognitive decline in brain power.
Diabetes. Twenty studies conducted worldwide indicate that coffee reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes by 50%. The researchers suspect the cause is chlorogenic acid in coffee act to slow the absorption of sugar in digestion. Chlorogenic
acid also stimulates the formation of GLP-1, a chemical that increases
insulin (a hormone that regulates the absorption of sugar into the
cells). Other substances in coffee that trigonelin (pro-vitamin B3) is also thought to help slow the absorption of glucose.
Cancer. Research has consistently shown that coffee reduces the risk of liver cancer, breast cancer and colon cancer.
Cirrhosis. Coffee protects the liver from cirrhosis, particularly cirrhosis due to alcoholism.
Parkinson's disease. The coffee drinkers have half the risk of developing Parkinson's disease is lower than those who did not drink coffee.
Heart disease and stroke. Coffee consumption does not increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Instead, coffee actually slightly reduce the risk of stroke. A
study of more than 83,000 women aged over 24 years showed those who
drank two to three cups of coffee a day had a stroke risk 19% lower than
those who did not drink coffee. Studies of a number of men in Finland showed similar results.
Cognitive function. The
study of 4197 women and 2820 men in France showed that drinking at
least three cups of coffee a day can prevent cognitive decline and brain
aging by up to 33 percent in women. However, the same benefit was not found in men. This may be because women are more sensitive to caffeine.Negative Effects CoffeeHowever, coffee also has a negative effect. Caffeine as the main content of coffee is an addictive stimulant. Caffeine affects the cardiovascular system such as increased heart rate and blood pressure. The negative impact comes when you consume to excess.For most people, drinking two to three cups of coffee no negative impact. Drinking coffee with more frequency than that can cause heart palpitations, insomnia, headache and other disorders. Therefore,
for those who consumed coffee that was not sleepy-such as lack of
sleep-advised to spread consumption throughout the day.Research on the relationship of coffee consumption with miscarriage does not provide uniform conclusions. However, for the safety of pregnant women are advised not to drink more than one cup of coffee a day.
