A Life / / December 19, 2019
The new study, which was attended by more than 200 000 people, puts an end to the eternal confrontation between the coffee and tea lovers. According to the obtained data, the first was correct when selected drink every morning. Coffee prolongs life!
Scientists report: If you drink a day for three to five cups of coffee, can be great to reduce the risk of early death - by about 15%. However, the drink itself is not a panacea. He has a positive effect on the body, reducing the likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease, liver disease and diabetes, as well as the occurrence of psychological problems. In this case, the scientists excluded from the results of the experiment data of those participants who smoked or were frankly unhealthy lifestyle.
The team of researchers led by Professor Frank Hu (Frank Hu) is sure: the results of this experiment and previously conducted studies have shown the positive impact of coffee on health. The drink should be included in the diet, combining it with a proper diet, daily routine and regular exercise. Equally effective are regular coffee and dekaf.
To arrive at these conclusions, the researchers used data about the health of more than 200 000 people received during the three major clinical studies. Participants in these projects are regularly held surveys on their eating habits for long 30 years.
Over 30,000 people died during the experiment. Doctors examined the cause of death of each and concluded: among them very few coffee lovers. Comparing this information with data on the diet, scientists have learned that the optimal dose of the drink three to five cups a day.
By the way, if you drink more coffee, you can not bring your own death. But researchers say those who consume large doses of the drink, more likely to be smokers (simple statistics, nothing personal). Therefore, to investigate the effect of coffee on the participants in the experiment is difficult: it is necessary to take into account many factors at once. And so far, there were no organizations willing to invest large sums of money in such a complex comprehensive study.
Therefore, Frank Hu and his colleagues decided to exclude smokers from the main study, after which found that coffee prolongs the life of those who leads a healthy lifestyle. As for people with addictions who drank five or more cups of beverage a day - they also observed a positive effect. Smokers have reduced the risk of early death by 12%, smoking - all 15%.
Moreover, it was found that coffee reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases, neurological diseases and the development of suicidal tendencies. However, there has been no link between coffee and cancer.
Previously conducted dozens of studies on the relationship of coffee and health, the results of which are contradictory. But not all the findings of scientists were such Okra said Christina (Christina Bamia), Professor of Epidemiology and Medical Statistics Athens University. In her opinion, the relationship between coffee consumption and the condition of the human body becomes evident when investigating her for each disease separately.
Thus, the drink showed their positive effect on patients with liver problems, obesity and chronic diseases. Additionally, coffee has proven useful for patients with diabetes. It is composed of components which inhibit the patient's tolerance to insulin and stop the inflammation. Scientists also believe that coffee has a beneficial effect on blood vessels and heart.
We hasten to you a little upset: treatment of coffee to order, no one will. The effect of its use is shown in the long run. But you will agree, very nice for a cup of coffee in the morning to realize that taking care of yourself.
