It is true that coffee should not be abused. This drink contains caffeine and may be contraindicated in certain people. But if you are a healthy individual, coffee can provide you with some kind of benefit, even if you are already of an age.
For example, a study published in the Journal of Nutrition by the CIBER of Physiopathology of Obesity and Nutrition and the Pere Virgili Health Research Institute linked coffee consumption with a lower risk of cognitive impairment in people at high risk of cardiovascular disease. . The study affirms that this is related to some of the bioactive components of coffee, beneficial for people, for example, with Alzheimer's.
Likewise, another study carried out in 2019 by a group of scientists from the Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, assured that coffee helped people reduce the risk of suffering from type 2 diabetes. And another in which only women participated and developed by Anglia Ruskin University concluded that those who drank a couple of cups of coffee daily had less body fat.
Coffee, in addition to the bioactive components that help people with Alzheimer's, also contains different types of antioxidants that serve as a shield for people suffering from neurodegenerative diseases, as well as serving as a 'cleaner' for clogged arteries. Research by South Korean scientists announced that drinking three to five cups of coffee a day could help certain people prone to clogged arteries, which can cause coronary heart disease.
Despite all the advantages that drinking coffee every day can bring, we must also take into account that not everyone feels the same way about this drink. The habitual consumption of coffee can cause insomnia (it is never advisable to drink a caffeinated coffee between five and six in the afternoon so that it does not affect it), it is not an advisable drink for pregnant women and we must be careful with it if we have the high cholesterol, especially with unfiltered coffee. Of course, always discard the roasted coffee, since 15% sugar is usually added to the normal grain to enhance its flavor. It is also not convenient to consume blended coffee: always choose natural coffee.
