5 Reasons to Keep Drinking Coffee

Reasons to Keep Drinking Coffee
For some people, drinking a cup of coffee can be a powerful way to get rid of the sleepiness or even just to satisfy a hobby. But unfortunately, coffee also never be separated from the negative issues. Some research says that coffee can cause anxiety and insomnia in some people.

But beneath it all, the coffee actually has health benefits as a support. Beth Reardon, director of nutrition at Duke Integrative Medicine says that coffee contains important antioxidant compounds more potent than other sources, such as fruits and vegetables. Here are the five best reasons why you should drink coffee:



1. Cut the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Various research shows, the more often a person drinks coffee, the more likely they are affected by type 2 diabetes. For example, postmenopausal women who drank at least four cups of coffee a day were more likely to avoid type 2 diabetes, according to a study by researchers at UCLA School of Public Health and Medicine involving more than 700 women in 2011.

In fact, experts in Australia who published his research in the Archives of Internal Medicine noted, each additional one cup of coffee may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by 7 percent.

2. Protecting the ravages of cancer cells
In previous research, the coffee never "accused" as a cause of cancer. However, the findings were not truth, because the researchers did not take into account research other precipitating factors such as alcohol and smoking. But now, there is evidence that coffee may protect against certain cancers, by enhancing DNA repair.

Several studies have found an inverse association between coffee consumption and risk of liver cancer. Even in 2011, for example, researchers from Harvard found that women who drink several cups of coffee a day (caffeinated or decaf) have a lower risk of endometrial cancer. Another study also reported that in men who consumed six cups of coffee a day, have a lower risk of prostate cancer, which amounted to 60 a message.

Other studies have linked coffee drinking with reduced risk of colon cancer, rectal cancer, oral cancer and esophageal cancer.

3. Reduce the risk of dementia
The scientists have so far not fully understand what causes brain changes associated with the development of Alzheimer's disease. But they learn more about risk factors for dementia - and coffee drinking habits seem to have an influence in reducing the risk of dementia.

Researchers from Sweden and Denmark have been tracking the impact of coffee consumption in 1400 middle-aged people for an average of 21 years. They found a clear relationship that participants who drank 3-5 cups of coffee a day had a lower risk of developing dementia (65 percent).

4. Protect against Parkinson's disease
For men, it seems clear that coffee helps reduce the possibility of Parkinson's disease. Those who drank about 2-3 cups of coffee a day had 25 percent lower risk of Parkinson's than those who did not suffer at all. The findings are the result of the conclusion of the 26 studies that looked at the relationship between coffee consumption and Parkinson's. However, these researchers have not seen a strong influence for women to drink coffee.

5. Preventing depression
Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health to track 50,000 nurse in the Nurses Health Study for more than a quarter century. In 2011, researchers reported that those who drank four cups of coffee or more per day had a 20 percent lower risk for depression, compared with those who rarely or never drink coffee. Meanwhile, those who drank two to three cups a day had 15 percent lower risk of experiencing depression.
