Someone thinks coffee is a real drug, while others cannot live without aromatic morning dope. Scientists of all countries do not get tired of proving the usefulness of a popular drink, then its harm. Real coffee lovers are deeply indifferent to all these data, but what about those who begin to get used to coffee, but are afraid for their health?

Of course, everything needs a measure, but there are at least 11 reasons not to deny yourself the pleasure of drinking an invigorating drink.

Russia is not included in the top of the most "coffee-drinking" countries, the leadership here belongs to the Scandinavian countries (Finland, Denmark, Norway), followed by Western Europe. Tea, so beloved by Russians, is not inferior to its position, but coffee is gradually catching up with it in popularity.

Over the past 10 years, the growth in coffee sales in our country has been stable at the level of 6-8%.

Most of all, coffee is loved by residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg, where they consume about ⅔ of all coffee drunk in Russia. According to other statistics, about 62% of Russians drink coffee at least twice a day, and 47% of office workers drink coffee to work normally.

There is nothing catastrophic in these numbers, and 11 reasons to love coffee will prove it.

Coffee is a source of antioxidants

Coffee contains 4 times more antioxidants than green tea.

In addition, roasting coffee beans does not reduce their quantity at all, but rather increases it.

Antioxidants Eliminate Wandering Molecule Harm- free radicals that destroy DNA and harm the cells of the body.

Free radicals cause premature aging, brain damage, immune and nervous systems, and other health problems, and coffee helps neutralize stray molecules and avoid all of these troubles.

The smell of coffee relieves stress

Researchers at Seoul National University studied the brains of rats after sleep deprivation and found that the smell of coffee caused positive changes in it. Coffee only relieves the stress of not getting enough sleep, so if that's your problem, buy a bag of beans and sniff them periodically after a sleepless night.

Coffee helps with Parkinson's disease

In 2012, Science Daily published data on the benefits of coffee for people with Parkinson's disease. Ronald Postuma, M. D. and author of the study, reported that people who use caffeine are less likely to develop the condition. Moreover, his research showed that people who already have Parkinson's disease can use caffeine to better control their movements.

Coffee helps your liver, especially if you are a drinker

In 2006, a study was published in which 125,000 people over 22 years of age participated. The results showed that in people who drink at least one cup of coffee a day, the risk of liver cirrhosis is reduced by 20%.

Arthur Klatsky, lead author of the study, explained that coffee consumption induces protective properties against alcohol-induced liver cirrhosis.

The more coffee a person consumes, the lower the risk of rapid cirrhosis, hospitalization, and death.

In addition, a study by the NUS Graduate School of Medicine showed that coffee helps prevent the development of fatty liver. So by drinking more than four cups of tea or coffee a day, you are insuring yourself against fatty liver disease.

Coffee for happiness

Research by the National Institutes of Health found that those who drink four or more cups of coffee a day are 10% less depressed than those who dislike the aromatic drink.

And high levels of caffeine have nothing to do with it. Coca-Cola is also high in caffeine, but its use has no effect on depression. Study author Honglei Chen claims that coffee provides us with great health benefits through antioxidants.

Anti-suicide coffee

Research from the Harvard School of Public Health found that two cups of coffee a day reduced the risk of suicide in both women and men by 50%. The alleged reason for this property of coffee is its antidepressant qualities, which help produce neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine.

Coffee protects women from skin cancer

Harvard Medical School, jointly with Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) Medical Center in Boston, conducted a study involving 112,897 women and men over the age of 20. The results showed that women who drink three or more cups of coffee a day are less likely to develop skin cancerthan those who prefer other drinks.

Coffee helps in sports

The New York Times reports that many athletes drink a cup of coffee before training to improve their performance. This is especially helpful in sports where endurance is important, such as cycling. Scientists explain that caffeine increases the amount of fatty acids in the bloodand. These substances are used as fuel by the muscles, which conserves carbohydrate reserves in the body and helps to last longer.

Coffee Reduces the Risk of Type 2 Diabetes

According to a study by the American Chemical Society, people who drink four or more cups of coffee a day reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by 50% … Further, with each additional cup, the risk is reduced by another 7%.

Coffee keeps the brain working longer

Research from the University of South Florida and the University of Miami showed that people over 65 who consumed more caffeine began to develop Alzheimer's disease later than those who did not have such high levels of caffeine.

Dr. Haunhai Cao, a neuroscientist at the University of South Florida, says: “We are not saying that moderate consumption of coffee will completely protect people from Alzheimer's disease. However, we are confident that coffee significantly reduces the risk of this disease, or at least delays its onset."

Coffee makes you smarter

You usually drink coffee when you need to cheer up, for example, late at night when there is a lot to do. It turns out that coffee not only helps to invigorate, but also makes the brain more productive.

Michael Lemonik, TIME reporter claims that during forced deprivation, caffeine improves brain function: shortens reaction time, increases attention, logical thinking and alertness.
