The Healing Power of Coffee

I also heard that we need to drink 3 cups of coffee a day,to decrease the possibility of developing a number of different cancers and other age related illnesses.

Reading all this I really need my coffee.

We just got a new coffee maker, and we are enjoying a good cup of coffee.

According to a study done in 2005, "nothing else comes close" to providing as many antioxidants as coffee. While fruits and vegetables also have tons of antioxidants, the human body seems to absorb the most from coffee.

Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School followed 112,897 men and women over a 20-year period and, apparently, women who drink three or more cups of coffee a day are much less likely to develop skin cancer than those who don't.

Researchers from the University of South Florida and the University of Miami found that people older than 65 who had higher blood levels of caffeine developed Alzheimer's disease two to four years later than others with lower caffeine. Dr. Chuanhai Cao, a neuroscientist at the USF, and co-author of the study, said, "We are not saying that moderate coffee consumption will completely protect people from Alzheimer's disease. However, we firmly believe that moderate coffee consumption can appreciably reduce your risk of Alzheimer's or delay its onset."

There are more benefits of coffee found at this web-site

It may prevent liver cancer,lower your risk of type2 diabetes, prevent skin cancer,lower your risk of Altzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, etc.

It may lower your risk of death.

We're all going to die eventually, but coffee appears to lengthen the "when" for individuals with certain chronic conditions such as heart disease and diabetes, according to a large 2012 study. In fact, the study found that the more coffee (three or more cups a day), the lower the risk of death regardless of whether participants drank caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee. Findings were similar to another large study published in 2008

It helps make your reproductive systems happy.

Guys, if you're looking for a drink to lower your risk of prostate cancer, and ladies lower your risk of endometrial cancer, then keep that coffee habit going! A 2011 study found that men consuming at least six or more cups a day reduced their risk of prostate cancer by 20 percent! Another study published in the Journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention found that women who drank more than four cups of coffee a day had a 25 percent lower risk of endometrial cancer.

It could help you recover after colon surgery.

If you've ever had surgery, you know one big sign of recovery is the return of bowel function. One study found that coffee consumption helped to speed this recovery sign when compared to water drinkers.

It's great for your skin.

Drinking coffee may help you to ward off the most diagnosed form of skin cancer! A study in the journal Cancer Research that looked specifically at the caffeine in coffee demonstrated that coffee drinkers had a lower risk of developing basal cell carcinoma.

It may help to reduce your risk of oral cancer.

Although studies on coffee consumption and decreased risk of cancer are limited, a recent large study found that individuals who drank four or more cups of coffee a day had a 50 percent lower risk of death from oral cancers in a 25-year time frame.

It may help you strengthen your muscles -- and your DNA.

A study in the journal Cell Metabolism found that caffeine actually had a similar effect to our DNA molecules in our muscles as exercise (now, this does not mean you can stop exercising). The study looked specifically at DNA changes of muscles in sedentary individuals and found that positive effects from coffee were similar to effects derived from exercise. The most interesting factor in the study was the fact that these positive changes were seen rather quickly.

Earlier, I mentioned that consumption of loads of coffee is not recommended for everyone. While you may automatically think that patients with heart problems avoid the java, studies have actually been mixed. In fact, some studies actually show benefit of coffee consumption for heart patients. So who should lay off the beans? Individuals that are pregnant or going through IVF treatments should avoid consumption of coffee. Additionally, individuals struggling with insomnia or depression should also limit coffee intake. Last but not least, keep the coffee cup out of your children's hands and let them experience the wonders of coffee when they get older.

These are some newer studies:

“The caffeinated coffee did a much better job that the decaffeinated coffee in all of the studies.”

Caffeine is a stimulant that has been linked to lower weight and faster metabolism – two key factors in diabetes risk.

“The people [in the study] who were drinking more of the coffee were thinner, which is huge in lowering your risk for diabetes,” he said. “The fact that the coffee drinkers had a low BMI was likely the major reason for their lower risk.”

Here, I am sharing my experience about the health which is related to coffee section. A few days before, I am facing a problem with my overweight then with the suggestion of my doctor, I preferred to start a cup of green coffee in my daily diet plan for weight loss. After a few months, I knew the result of that. While using the green coffee, I didn't face any kind of side effects also. It will be a pleasure to share my experience in this community.

This will tell you more about the benefits of drinking some coffee.

Enjoy!

 

I love your cups Sue.

I keep hearing good news about drinking some coffee as well.

We can use one of the cups which will make the coffee taste even better.

Science-Backed Benefits of Coffee:

1. Heart: Based on 36 different studies with 1,270,000 participants, researchers conclude moderate long-term coffee consumption of three to five 8-ounce cups a day lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease. Those who consumed five or more had no higher risk than those who consumed zero.
2. Stroke: Another 11 studies with nearly 480,000 participants found two to six cups a day was associated with a lower risk of stroke compared to those who drank zero.
3. Type 2 Diabetes: Drinking at least six to seven cups of caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee a day was found to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by up to a third, while regular consumption decreased the overall likelihood of developing the disease.
4. Cancer: Drinking two cups of coffee day is associated with a 40 percent lower risk of liver cancer. Coffee consumption also plays no statistical significance in breast or prostate cancer risk. There is a link between coffee consumption and lung cancer, but only found among those who have the disease due to smoking. Meanwhile, coffee consumption has actually been found as a protectant for non-smokers diagnosed with lung cancer. Coffee has been found to lower the risk of liver cancer and death for those who have cirrhosis.
5. Brain: Coffee intake has been associated with lowering the risk of Parkinson’s disease, age-related cognitive decline, and a potential protective effect against Alzheimer’s disease.
6. Death: Two meta-analysis — one reviewing 20 studies with approximately one million participants’ medical data and a second reviewed 17 studies with more than one million participants — found drinking coffee is linked to a “significantly reduced chance of death.”

I am still enjoying my coffee.

I grew up with it in France, and will keep drinking my 3 cups a day.

Sometimes 4.

For immediate release: November 16, 2015

Boston, MA – People who drink about three to five cups of coffee a day may be less likely to die prematurely from some illnesses than those who don’t drink or drink less coffee, according to a new study by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health researchers and colleagues. Drinkers of both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee saw benefits, including a lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease, neurological diseases, type 2 diabetes, and suicide.

“Bioactive compounds in coffee reduce insulin resistance and systematic inflammation,” said first author Ming Ding, a doctoral student in theDepartment of Nutrition. “That could explain some of our findings. However, more studies are needed to investigate the biological mechanisms producing these effects.”

The study will appear online in Circulation on November 16, 2015.

Researchers analyzed health data gathered from participants in three large ongoing studies: 74,890 women in the Nurses’ Health Study; 93,054 women in the Nurses’ Health Study 2; and 40,557 men in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study. Coffee drinking was assessed using validated food questionnaires every four years over about 30 years. During the study period, 19,524 women and 12,432 men died from a range of causes.

In the whole study population, moderate coffee consumption was associated with reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease, diabetes, neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, and suicide. Coffee consumption was not associated with cancer deaths. The analyses took into consideration potential confounding factors such as smoking, body mass index, physical activity, alcohol consumption, and other dietary factors.

“This study provides further evidence that moderate consumption of coffee may confer health benefits in terms of reducing premature death due to several diseases,” said senior author Frank Hu, professor of nutrition and epidemiology. “These data support the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Report that concluded that ‘moderate coffee consumption can be incorporated into a healthy dietary pattern.’”
