What diseases will coffee have a positive effect on?
Heart failure
Coffee, naturally, in a very moderate amount, has a positive effect on the functioning of the cardiovascular system and prevents the development of heart failure. In the course of various experiments, it was found that people who consume 3-4 cups of weak coffee per day are 11% less likely to suffer from heart disease.
Liver disease
Two cups of coffee per day reduce the likelihood of liver cancer by about 25%.
Type 2 diabetes (non-insulin dependent)
Coffee will not harm diabetics, because it promotes the production of a protein that binds steroid hormones - estradiol and testosterone, these hormones provoke the development of diabetes mellitus.
Obesity
Caffeine contained in coffee, in addition to stimulating and stimulating effects, has a beneficial effect on weight loss. This is because it is caffeine that is involved in the breakdown of glycogen, breaking it down to glucose, which, in turn, enters the bloodstream and gives a feeling of satiety. Just one cup of moderately strong coffee increases calorie consumption by 30% during intense workouts.
It is believed that among coffee drinkers the percentage of suicides is much lower, and all because caffeine provokes the production of the hormone of happiness.
Coffee has a strong stimulating effect on the central nervous system, therefore, it is worth consuming a drink in moderation and only of proper quality.
