Follow the caf é (Wechat official account vdailycom) and found that Beautiful Cafe opened a small shop of its own.

Scientists have found a new reason for us to drink PDF! Recently, a team of experts from South Korea conducted a special study on the effects of coffee on cardiovascular health. Today, cardiovascular disease threatens the health of about 16 million American residents, while it is estimated that about 54% of American adults (over the age of 18) drink coffee every day.

More than 25000 41-year-old volunteers without symptoms of heart disease took part in the study, most of them men who drank 1.8 cups of coffee a day. Among the subjects, 13.4% showed signs of vascular calcification, which refers to calcified plaques on the walls of cardiovascular vessels and is considered to be an early symptom of cardiovascular disease.

Studies have shown that people who drink 3-5 cups of PDF a day are the least likely to develop signs of vascular calcification, and trends show that the risk of cardiovascular disease decreases with the increase of coffee drinking. especially in the range of 1 cup to 3-5 cups a day, but once the consumption exceeds 5 cups, the risk of cardiovascular disease increases.

The study, published in the journal Heart, reveals how baristas improve insulin sensitivity and reduce LDL oxidation. According to experts, the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein can make vascular calcification more dangerous.

In addition, the results showed that the effect of drinking regular coffee was exactly the same as that of caffeine.

The significance of the success of the study is that coffee has rarely been associated with arterial calcification. The study also provides an important basis for the discussion of coffee safety in the 2015 American Dietary guidelines. The guidelines point out that drinking 3-5 cups of coffee a day can maximize the health benefits of coffee, and studies have shown that coffee can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

In addition to coffee, people can also choose healthy drinks such as water and tea, the researchers added. Remember, don't add cream and too much sugar when drinking coffee, or it will counteract the health benefits of coffee.
