1. Coffee is working
Coffee beans contain more than 1,000 bioactive compounds, the most interesting of which are caffeine, chlorogenic acid, cafestol. All of these compounds have potential beneficial effects. Coffee is one of the most abundant sources of antioxidants in the daily diet. What effect it will have on the body depends on many factors: the type of coffee (most commonly arabica and robusta), the burning of coffee beans, the method of preparation, the genes and the composition of a person's microflora.2. Coffee flushes out magnesium and calcium
Myth: Although studies have shown increased urine excretion of calcium and magnesium, this effect is achieved with more than 744 mg of caffeine per day (approximately 8 cups of coffee per day).3. Coffee raises your blood pressure
Myth: This effect can be seen in people who drink coffee occasionally -- drinking coffee for three consecutive days causes tolerance to develop, coffee stops affecting blood pressure.4. Coffee improves your concentration
The fact is, as long as it's not decaffeinated coffee, caffeine, depending on the dose, can improve alertness, reaction rate, concentration, mood, and even self-confidence, but the more rested you are, the less intense the effect, so coffee can be a lifesaver after a sleepless night.5. There are contraindications to drinking coffee
Although there are very few of them, coffee is not recommended for pregnant women and people with reflux disease or ulcerative bowel disease. Caffeine in coffee can increase symptoms by stimulating the secretion of gastric juice. It also increases gastric secretions, which in turn irritates the lower gastrointestinal tract, making it easier for stomach contents to pass from the stomach to the esophagus.6. He's addicted to caffeine
The DMS-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), the American Psychiatric Association's classification of mental disorders, contains the criteria for identifying caffeine withdrawal syndrome. Caffeine-related disorder has been identified as a problem requiring further research. Moderate caffeine intake, i.e. about 5 cups of coffee a day, is not associated with adverse effects in adults. However, it appears to be somewhat different in children and adolescents, where low doses (100400 mg) can cause adverse symptoms such as anxiety, nervousness, sleep disturbances.7. A few reasons to drink coffee
Coffee is likely to reduce the likelihood of premature death. Based on the results of current studies on the health effects of drinking coffee, it has been shown that the lowest risk is associated with drinking 3 cups of coffee a day. Compared to people who do not drink coffee in general, coffee is less likely to cause cardiovascular disease, especially coronary disease. However, the results show that an extra cup of coffee per day can reduce the risk of cardiovasculareal disease by 2%.8. Is it caffeine-free coffee at all or does it have similar effects?
The composition of decaffeinated coffee does not differ in the profile of the active ingredients except for caffeine, which contains trace amounts, from the natural coffee composition. It does not have as many beneficial effects as natural coffee, but its consumption also reduces the likelihood of certain diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, endometrial cancer.9. Summary
However, there is insufficient evidence of its harmful activity in the fetus, except for the period of pregnancy when caffeine should be restricted due to the developing body of the baby. During pregnancy, hormonal changes cause this compound to remain in the woman's blood for much longer. This is extremely important considering that caffeine is readily absorbed into fetal water. In addition, the activity of the CYP1A2 enzyme in the foetus is very low. However, this suggests that the child in the womb is exposed to caffeine for a significantly longer period of time than the average adult.
