Drinking Coffee Reduces Risk of Some Diseases

Drinking Coffee Reduces Risk of Some Diseases
By wahyu

Coffee is native to the East African tropics but is now cultivated in tropical areas worldwide. Coffee was discovered around 1000 AD when a flock of goats were observed jumping in excited fashion when they grazed on coffee berries (each of which contains two coffee seeds or beans). Fair Trade, Local and Organic Coffee
Coffee ranks among oil as one of the top export crops in the world. Coffee seeds are expensive but can be purchased online.

Because pesticide residue can be compounded when coffee is roasted at high temperatures, choosing organic coffee is worthwhile.
For the freshest coffee possible, grind whole beans immediately before brewing.
The canister then serves as a coffee pitcher. Now the spotlight is on coffee. Newly released studies reveal that coffee drinking lowers risk of stroke, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and dementia. Other recent research has shown that drinking coffee reduces the risk of diabetes.
Coffee drinking is major source of antioxidants for most people
People in the U.S. receive most of their antioxidants from the coffee they drink. Robusta coffee contains up to ten percent chlorogenic acid, and Arabica coffee contains an amount up to seven percent. American's coffee drinking averages more than one cup per day. Decaffeinated coffee has the same antioxidant content as regular coffee. Coffee consumption was assessed from 1980 through 2004. After adjusting for confounders, the correlation of coffee drinking with stroke fell by 20 percent in the group drinking the most coffee. The researchers concluded that coffee drinking moderately reduced the risk of stroke. The high concentration of chlorogenic acid in coffee reduces glucose concentrations.
