How many hours does sedentary usually mean? The new efficacy of drinking fine black coffee reduces the risk of stroke

I believe that most of the urban beauties and handsome men here are ruthless diners who can't afford to sit for a long time. In the past two days, there has even been a hot search on Weibo that "sitting for eight hours a day without exercise increases the risk of stroke by seven times."

As proletarian strivers who fall in love with their work every day, they drag their tired bodies home from work to lie down and have fun with sand sculpture videos, and then think about going to bed early and waking up the next day to fight again. This kind of two-point and first-line life, if the commuting walking period can not be regarded as exercise, the heart is really tight.

When it's too late, it's fast. Surfing the Internet saw an article about how drinking coffee every day is good for heart health and can also reduce the incidence of stroke and cardiovascular disease.

The new study, presented on Aug. 27 at the European College of Cardiology (European Society of Cardiology Congress 2021), examined the coffee drinking behavior of 468000 people in the British Biological sample Bank study (UK Biobank Study). The participants recruited in the study showed no signs of heart disease, with an average age of 56.2years and 55.8 per cent of women.

Participants were divided into three groups according to their usual coffee intake: no drinking (22.1%), mild to moderate (0.5-3 cups / day, 58.4%) and high (more than 3 cups / day, 19.5%).

The results showed that among people with undiagnosed heart disease, compared with those who did not drink coffee, people who drank coffee from mild to moderate levels had a 12% lower risk of all-cause death, a 17% lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease, and a 21% lower risk of stroke.

To study the underlying mechanisms, the researchers analyzed the relationship between daily coffee intake and heart structure and function during an average of 11 years of follow-up. To do so, they used data from 30650 participants who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Study author Dr. Judit Simon (Dr. Judit Simon) also said: "Imaging analysis shows that people who drink coffee every day have a healthier heart and better function than those who do not drink coffee regularly."

Dr. Simon also concluded: "the results show that drinking more than three cups of coffee a day is associated with good cardiovascular health, although further research is needed to explain the underlying mechanism. but the observed benefits may be partly explained by positive changes in the structure and function of the heart."

It should be noted that there will still be cutie holding a cup of milk coffee with syrup in hand and showing off to non-coffee drinkers that drinking coffee is good for their health. It is important to know that many studies on coffee only focus on black coffee, that is, coffee liquid extracted from coffee powder with only water without any addition.

The addition of dairy products, sugar and cream will increase the calories, sugar and fat that people who eat grass and lose weight care about, which may offset the positive effects of coffee on heart health.

Speaking of which, I have been sitting for almost 8 hours today. Although it's getting dark, it's almost time for dinner. But do not delay to make a cup of rosy summer coffee, take two more sips, one cup is not enjoyable enough to have two cups. Of course, exercise is still necessary. After all, there are some things that can only be achieved through exercise. For example, the speed needed to meet your beloved station faster every day.

All right, it's time for Rose Summer Addiction, bye~.
