Coffee & Health

In coffee there is a substance that stimulates the central nervous system, reduces fatigue and significantly improves work efficiency… That is caffeine, a miraculous drug that humans have known for a long time. In addition to stimulating the nervous system, this drink is also really beneficial for health if you drink coffee in the right amount and in the right way. The amount of caffeine in coffee is much higher than in tea, so coffee has the effect of dilating the bronchi, affecting the cardiovascular system, increasing heart rate, and supplying blood to the heart. Therefore, coffee has a positive effect on low blood pressure or asthma. Coffee also promotes absorption and enhances metabolism in the body, especially beneficial for digestion. However, if you drink coffee that is too strong or drink more than 6 cups a day, it will cause your heart to beat too fast, your blood pressure will also increase, along with other symptoms such as feeling insecure, impatient, shaking hands and feet or feeling impatient. Scientists have proven that a cup of coffee makes us go from tired to completely awake right after you take a sip of coffee. At this time, caffeine begins to release dopamine – a stimulant in the gray area of the brain, responsible for alertness, problem-solving ability and relaxation. At this time, we will feel a feeling of euphoria in the mood, more active, more alert and more interested in working.

Harvard University researchers also confirmed that 3 to 4 cups a day will help a normal person be more alert and intelligent for life, in addition to reducing the risk of developing gallstones, preventing the development of colon cancer, improving cognitive function, reducing the risk of liver damage in people at high risk of liver disease, reducing the risk of Parkinson’s disease as well as reducing the risk of dying from heart disease by 53% compared to people who do not drink coffee all their lives.

The antioxidant content in coffee is also higher than that of grape juice, blueberries, raspberries and oranges, which play an important role in preventing the risk of cell inflammation, which explains the ability to reduce the risk of diseases as mentioned above. This result has been studied since 1992 and was recently published in the American journal The Archives of Internal Medicine.

The British have a saying: an apple a day keeps the doctor away. This is also true for enjoying 2-3 cups of coffee a day!
