Over
the past few decades,coffee has been linked to an array of possible
health risk, ranging from stroke and miscarriage to high cholesterol and
even cancer-- particularly since it contains caffeine, a potent,
potentially habit forming stimulant.but now the news is good and
perky-significant authoritative scientific information is already
available to support coffee's positive effect on one health and
well-being.
IN THE WORK PLACE. Two
cups of coffee is all it takes to overcome fatigue and feel alert
again. the resulting increase in alertness may be especially beneficial
in certain situations (e.g when working at night or for prolonged
periods; also when we are deprived of sleep or are jet-lagged). Drinking
coffee also improves our performance when our level of alertness is low
(e.g. when we need to remain alert or undertake repetitive jobs).
FOR MENTAL PERFORMANCE.
The latest scientific evidence indicates that about 200mg of caffeine,
the amount typically found in 2 cups of coffee, will not only increase
your level of alertness but also help your short term memory. For exam
season or those important meetings and interviews, coffee drinkers
everywhere will be delighted to know that it helps to give them energy
to study and concentrate. drinking coffee will also help us memorize all
those little details that may give us an advantages at such critical
times, as coffee can also help boost short-term memory.
FOR EXERCISE PERFORMANCE. Exercise
plays a significant part in all our lives whether we are playing
occasional games with the kids, using exercise to help fight the battle
of the bulge, or, if we are elite athletes, hoping to emulate the
performances of the medal winners at the Olympics. So rejoice that there
are findings that states caffeine, at levels found in one cup of
coffee, can both reduce the sensation of fatigue as well as enhance
exercise performance.
FOR SOCIAL PLEASURE. Coffee
raises mood, improves our concentration and may even promote the
well-being of the immune system, thus enhancing our ability to cope not
only with life but to enjoy it.
FOR SAFER DRIVING. All
of us are very vulnerable to sleepiness if we have had too little or
poor quality of sleep. tiredness can easily affect our driving skills
and judgements, and if that happens in a built-up area, it can be
particularly dangerous. singing or listening to music to keep alert and
counteract tiredness is only a short-term benefit and may be a
distraction for drivers from being so aware of their sleepiness and poor
driving. Similarly the benefits of cold air on the face, is also a
myth. At this point the safe thing to do is to stop driving as soon as
possible, take a break for at least 30 minutes, drink one or two cups of
caffeinated coffee and take at least a 15-minutes nap. this is the
most effective combination and can increase alertness for several hours
but it can takes an average 20-30 minute to take effect.
FOR DIABETICS.Over
the past twenty years there has been a worldwide epidemic rise in the
incidence of this disease. the growing of body published research
suggest that, alongside other lifestyle measure such as weight control
and exercise, regular coffee drinking may also have a protective effect against developing type 2 diabetes, the most common form of this disease.
AS ANTIOXIDANT.
Antioxidant may be of great benefit in improving the quality of life by
preventing or postponing the onset of degenerative disease. protection
against free radicals can be enhanced by ample intakes of dietary
antioxidants, and this include drinking coffee.
PARKINSON'S DISEASE.
Parkinson's disease is one of the most well known of all neurological
disorders. there is growing evidence from animal and human studies that
not only can caffeine help relieve the symptoms associated with this
disease, but can also have a protective effect on nerve cells. It would
appear from many of these studies that coffee consumption also reduces
or delays the development of the disease, with caffeine being the most
likely factor.
LIVER FUNCTION. There
is increasing scientific evidence to show that coffee may also help
provide significant protection in many ways against the development of
liver disease.
So there, consuming up to four or five cups of coffee a
day will do no harm. It will even boost mood, alertness, and physical
performance; and yes, it may even help prevent certain disease, liver,
colon cancer, type 2 diabetes, parkinson's disease, and asthma, heavy
coffee drinkers, pregnant women, and possibly people with heartburn,
breast lumps, or anxiety disorders may nevertheless also benefit
provided, of course, they cut back on the brew.
Care for a cup now?
