Year by year, more and more coffee collects "adepts" - now people drink 400 billion cups per year.
And the joy of it, more and more research shows that caffeine has a positive effect on human health. In particular, it protects against the development of certain diseases.
It is found, scientists at the Harvard School of Public Health in a large study, which lasted for several years and which brought together the medical records of 130,000 coffee drinkers.
1. Diabetes
Coffee can be a protection against type II diabetes, scientists say, and explain: the habit of drinking a couple cups of beverage production increases protein binding steroid hormones testosterone and estradiol. And these hormones play a role in the development of diabetes.
In addition, coffee increases the sensitivity of the pancreas to glucose, which comes to us in the body with food. Due to the pancreas becomes more resistant to changes in blood sugar levels. The result - reduced risk of developing diabetes.
2. Heart diseases
More good news - coffee in moderation protects against heart failure. By "moderate amounts" scientists mean the equivalent of 8 ounces of caffeine (about 3-4 cups of coffee) a day.
People who in the course of the experiment drank four cups daily had a lower risk of heart failure (11%) compared with those who refused to coffee at all. The study authors noted that their results "show the real benefits of love for coffee."
3. Parkinson's disease
In the same study assessed the relationship between coffee consumption and the risk of Parkinson's disease: researchers concluded that "the increase in the consumption of caffeine in reasonable doses directly associated with a significant reduction in the incidence of Parkinson's disease, since caffeine blocks certain signaling pathways in cells through which information is transmitted, to run different processes. "
Due coffee inhibited transmission of such signals contributing to the development of senile diseases of the nervous system.
4. Liver cancer
It was also found that by using above mentioned respective blocking signaling pathways in the body is enhanced stability of liver cells to negative effects of alcohol. And thus reduces the risk of developing liver cancer: in the use of two cups of coffee a day - about 40%, and reduces the risk of three cups and even more - by more than 50%.
5. Colon Cancer
For the study, researchers also analyzed data from 5145 patients who had been diagnosed colorectal cancer and their medical records were compared with the data of 4097 people from the control group without it disease.
Also, the subjects had to fill out a questionnaire detailing them daily coffee consumption of three kinds - espresso, decaffeinated and filtered, and the consumption of other beverages.
In addition, participants indicated in the questionnaire about family history of cancer, about his diet, the level of physical activity, smoking habits and other factors that may affect the risk of colorectal cancer.
As a result, the researchers found that the risk of cancer decreased with increasing coffee consumption: 1-2 cups of coffee a day reduces the risk of colorectal cancer by 26%. More than three cups - 50%.
