Adults who consume up to 1.5 to 3.5 liters of coffee per day have a lower chance of dying as compared to non-coffee drinkers.

Previous studies observing coffee’s health effects found that coffee consumption is associated with a lower risk of death.

However, studies did not distinguish between unsweetened coffee and coffee consumed with sugar.

Hello everyone welcome back, this lesson is on coffee and the associated health benefits and health risks of coffee.

We see that there are associations between coffee consumption and certain health benefits and risks.

So, First of all, Let’s know

What is coffee?

Coffee is actually derived from the coffee bean which is a seed of the caffeine plant so it's a very popular beverage utilized around the world. Coffee contains over 1000 bioactive compounds. There are many health benefits and risks associated with coffee consumption.

How does coffee lowers the risk of death rate?

1. Increased levels of energy body fat have decreased.

2. Physical activity should be increased.

3. Type 2 diabetes risk is reduced.

4. Liver disease risk is reduced.

5. Reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease

1.Increase level of energy

"Caffeine may raise your energy levels when consumed gradually since it enhances your metabolic rate and the production of adrenaline, the brain hormone responsible for energy.

"Caffeine may also promote a healthy weight by supporting gut health and modifying fat storage, both of which are associated to weight management.

3. Promotes more physical activity

In a study, researchers found a correlation between coffee consumption and increased physical activity. They discovered that women who drank one to two cups of coffee per day were 17 percent more likely than those who drank less to reach prescribed physical activity levels.

4. Type 2 diabetes risk is reduced.

Type 2 diabetes is a long-term disorder that impairs the body's sugar metabolism. When blood sugar levels remain high, it can lead to major health issues. Coffee consumption may assist to lower the risk of getting this illness.

When comparing a high-consumption coffee group (median 5 cups per day) to a low-consumption coffee group (median 0 cups per day), a study indicated that the risk of getting Type 2 diabetes decreases, regardless of whether the coffee drunk is caffeinated or not.

Coffee may have this impact because it protects the function of the beta cells in the pancreas, which create the insulin that controls blood sugar levels. Coffee also includes magnesium, which aids in the breakdown of sugar in the body.

5. Lowers the chance of liver disease

Cirrhosis is a life-threatening health complication that can result from liver disease. Coffee, on the other hand, appears to be beneficial to liver health.

According to a study, a daily cup of coffee can reduce the chance of dying from chronic liver disease by 15%. Coffee drinkers will be thrilled to learn that four cups per day equals a 71 percent lower risk of heart disease.

6. Reduces the chance of Alzheimer's.

Alzheimer's disease is a degenerative brain illness that causes memory loss and cognitive impairment. Although there is presently no cure, early detection and therapy can help to limit the disease's course.

The results of a study of studies involving over 29,000 people revealed that the more coffee people drink, the lower their chance of acquiring Alzheimer's disease

Parkinson's disease is a degenerative neurological disorder that causes movement and balance issues. There is no cure for Parkinson's disease, although there are therapies that can help reduce the disease's course.

According to a 2020 assessment, habitual coffee users appear to have a much decreased risk of developing the disease. It may also help to delay the progression of the condition.

8. It improves heart health.

Coffee may aid in the prevention of heart disease and the improvement of heart health. Cardiovascular disease is the world's biggest cause of death. Coffee may lower the chance of mortality by protecting heart health.

According to a study, persons who drink three to five cups of coffee each day have a 15% lower risk of heart disease. Another big 2021 study with over 21,000 participants confirmed similar findings, concluding that greater coffee consumption reduced the risk of heart failure considerably.

It also has the potential to lower blood pressure. In a study, researchers discovered that drinking 7 cups of coffee per day lowered the incidence of hypertension by 9%, with an additional 1% reduction for each cup.

According to a 2005 study, coffee consumption boosted average sperm motility. Guys who drank more than six cups of coffee per day had better sperm motility than men who did not. Coffee consumption has also been linked to a lower incidence of prostate cancer. Men who consumed normal or decaffeinated coffee were shown to have a lower risk in one study.

Coffee is also good for your skin. Caffeine and polyphenols such as chlorogenic acids (CGA) are found in coffee beans, and they may have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties as well as protect against photoaging.

3. Coffee's next drawback is that it raises blood pressure.

Coffee's disadvantage is said to have more than one probable basis, according to speculation.

The first is coffee's potential to inhibit hormones that keep arteries wide and open for blood to flow freely. This could raise blood pressure by increasing the pressure imposed by blood on the artery walls.

This places strain on the blood vessels, resulting in pounding headaches.
