The best way to live a long and healthy life may be to drink coffee, and you'd better drink more! As early as May 2012, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) published the results of the study on the effect of coffee on mortality in the authoritative New England Journal of Medicine. The study concluded that coffee drinkers were much less likely to die from any cause than non-coffee drinkers.

Doctors believe that the reason why coffee can reduce mortality is closely related to the following factors:

Many scientific studies have confirmed that coffee not only does not worsen cardiovascular disease, but has a protective effect. As we all know, the earliest and main cause of cardiovascular obstruction is not cholesterol, but inflammation that impairs the function of endothelial cells in the inner layer of blood vessels.

Endothelial cells produce nitric oxide (Nitric Oxide), which acts on blood vessels to prevent relaxation and relaxation (this is how Weiergang works). If the endothelial cell is injured, the function of producing nitric oxide is reduced, resulting in blood vessels being blocked by cholesterol. Every time we eat a high-calorie, high-fat or high-sugar diet, endothelial cells face a lot of damage, leading to vasoconstriction, which is at high risk of stroke or myocardial infarction.

Coffee's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties have been shown to protect endothelial cells from damage caused by a poor diet, both regular and low-calorie coffee.

Many studies have confirmed that people who drink one to three cups of coffee a day are 50 percent less likely to cause high blood sugar than those who do not drink coffee. In addition, people who drink 1 to 3 cups or even more than 4 cups a day also have less abdominal fat. In addition to the above-mentioned antioxidant and anti-inflammatory reasons, coffee can enhance the regulation of fat metabolism of hormone adiponectin (Adiponectin), presumably is also an important reason.

In 2014, two subjects both reported more than 1 million people, and one of them found that drinking one to six cups of coffee a day reduced the incidence of diabetes by 8%, 15%, 21%, 25%, 29% and 33% respectively. The results of another study were similar, finding that people who drank more coffee were about 30 percent less likely to develop diabetes. You can find that the more coffee you drink, the healthier you are.

The study found that people who drank three cups of coffee a day reduced their risk of Parkinson's disease by about 30 percent. For people with mild cognitive impairment, which is thought to be an early symptom of dementia, drinking more coffee can also reduce the risk of developing true dementia.

In animal research, coffee reduces the accumulation of abnormal proteins in the brains of older mice (a focus in the brain of dementia), reducing or even reversing the symptoms of dementia. In addition, coffee also reduces the amount of inflammatory hormones in the brain and protects brain cells responsible for memory function.

In addition, about 26% of Taiwanese adults suffer from fatty liver, and the most common age group is between 40 and 60 years old, but there is also a tendency to be younger. Patients with fatty liver are not only more likely to suffer from hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis at the same time, but also increase the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke. But studies have confirmed that if the weight can be reduced by 8%, fatty liver will disappear; basically, as long as the weight can be controlled, fatty liver can be improved.

The Japanese Society of Hepatology, which specializes in Dr. Hayashi Hayashi, spent five years tracking 492 men without fatty liver and found that people who drank more than 2.5 cups of coffee a day were less likely to develop fatty liver associated with obesity. Coffee contains a large number of coffee polyphenols "chlorogenic acid" (coffee tannic acid), chlorogenic acid can improve the function of digestive organs, not only protect the liver but also reduce body fat.

If you want to increase fat burning, you can also add some black pepper to your coffee. Heparin in black pepper can promote blood circulation, as long as metabolism increases, it can help promote fat burning. If it is a black pepper with large particles, it will enhance the overall flavor.
