Are you a coffee drinker?
April 15, 2010
I am definitely a coffee drinker. Hot, iced…all of it. My liking started not too long ago, and I must get it from my grandma because everyone else in my family hates it! But anyways, coffee has recently been showing some positive effects for drinkers. It’s rich in antioxidants, reduces the risk of Parkinson’s disease, and has the potential to protect against type 2 diabetes. It has also been said that coffee improves mental performance and reduces the risk of liver cirrhosis, and Alzheimer’s disease. This makes me feel better about my cup-per-day.
However, it is still controversial whether coffee plays a part in heart disease and high cholesterol. Unfortunately, it can cause high blood pressure, dehydration, and affect healthy sleep habits. And don’t forget about caffeine. Although it was proven safe in 1958, caffeine causes addiction to coffee.
Just keep all of these things in mind before you pour your next cup!
