Academic Exchange Program: the physiological effects of Coffee drinking on people

Coffee and cardiovascular disease

The team of experts from Spain focused on the cardiovascular effects of drinking coffee. Their research shows that coffee has a long-term beneficial effect on cardiovascular system.

In healthy people

If you drink 4 cups of coffee per day, the risk of cardiovascular disease will be reduced by 15%.

Heavy coffee consumers also do not increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

And drinking coffee has no effect on people who already have cardiovascular disease.

Coffee and stroke

A 24-year study of coffee and stroke shows:

Eating more than 3 cups of coffee a day can reduce the risk of stroke by 20%.

Compared with people who don't drink coffee.

People who drink 5 cups of coffee a day can significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke.

Coffee and diabetes

A professor who specializes in diabetes in Finland drinks coffee and concludes that the more coffee he drinks, the lower the risk of diabetes.

Adding sugar to coffee does not have much effect on the effect of coffee.

There are 600 million diabetics in the world.

Under the current situation that China accounts for nearly 100 million

The data given by him is very encouraging.

Coffee and exercise

Research from the research team of Yunnan Agricultural University shows that coffee can partly replace exercise.

Caffeine is the most widely used central nervous system stimulant in the world. Caffeine is absorbed quickly and produces LI-6 in muscle, which in turn promotes the release of free fatty acids in fat and muscle tissue, which is a partial substitute for exercise.

Animal tests found that caffeine in drinking three cups of coffee a day increased the effect of exercise by 30%.

In addition, caffeine can relieve depression

Industrial prospect

China in the future:

The world's largest consumer of coffee

According to reports, after more than 20 years of development, Hougu Coffee has grown into a key leading enterprise in national agricultural industrialization. With the continuous maturity of the domestic coffee market and the domestic coffee industry chain, the planting area and output of Yunnan coffee are also increasing. Xiong Xiangren, chairman of Yunnan Dehong Hougu Coffee Co., Ltd., said that China's coffee consumption base is very small, indicating that we know too little about coffee. However, with the opening of Sino-European international freight trains of "Yunnan New Europe" and "Chongqing New Europe", Yunnan coffee has realized the parallel transportation of foreign trade goods by sea and land, and promoted the rapid growth of Yunnan coffee export trade. Yunnan coffee earned more than 400 million US dollars, accounting for 80% of the total foreign exchange earned by China's coffee exports. "in the future, China will be the largest consumer of coffee in the world. Our dream is to make coffee the pillar industry of Yunnan and one of the pillar industries of China." Xiong Xiangren said.
