On October 17, Shenzhen Business Daily-Wanren Survey Group, a joint professional survey agency, released the results of a questionnaire survey on consumers in Shenzhen coffee market.

According to the report, more than half of Shenzhen consumers spend more than 300 yuan a month on coffee, and most people believe that coffee is a refreshing "artifact" for daily work. Nearly 1 consumers start their day with coffee in the morning.

Among them, the frequency of drinking coffee gradually increased with the increase of age. the average monthly coffee drinking frequency of consumers under 18 years old was 3.81 cups, 4.04 cups at 18-25 years old, 4.63 cups at 26-35 years old, 4.56 cups at 36-45 years old, 4.13 cups over 45 years old, and began to decrease after 45 years old.

From the above data, it is not difficult to see that coffee has become an indispensable drink in many people's daily life.

October 20 is the International Osteoporosis Day, and experts point out that excessive consumption of caffeine and carbonated drinks can increase the risk of osteoporosis. So is coffee a healthy drink? CCTV-10 Science and Education Channel pointed out in a drink Truth reversal program: freshly ground pure black coffee or coffee beans ground coffee is healthy, moderate consumption of coffee is good for the human body. In the program, four guests expressed their positions on "whether coffee is a healthy drink". Guest 1 thought that drinking coffee can promote metabolism and is beneficial to health, and that he must drink a cup of coffee every afternoon. Guest 2 thinks that drinking coffee is a kind of petty bourgeoisie behavior, but coffee contains caffeine, and the heart will show a "sudden" performance (heart beat faster) after drinking coffee, so drinking coffee is not healthy. Guest 3 thought that apart from petty bourgeoisie, coffee was also a refreshing agent that could regulate stress. Guest 4 thought that excessive drinking of coffee would lead to diarrhea, so drinking coffee was not healthy. To sum up, a dietitian at Peking University pointed out: coffee itself is a healthy drink, and drinking coffee in moderation is good for the human body.

But the "coffee" here refers to freshly ground black coffee and coffee ground from coffee beans (coffee with milk is also a healthy drink), that is, coffee without any additives, such as instant coffee on the market is unhealthy.

Dietitians at Peking University believe that drinking a moderate amount of coffee is good for health for the following reasons: caffeine speeds up metabolism when caffeine enters the body, it promotes the secretion of dopamine and epinephrine, which makes people feel happy and temporarily eliminates fatigue. Caffeine speeds up metabolism for people who need to lose weight, drinking coffee properly can speed up metabolism by about 10%. Coffee contains polyphenols, polyphenols have antioxidant effect, long-term moderate consumption of coffee can indirectly play an antioxidant role. But it should be noted that coffee is a healthy drink on the premise of moderate consumption of coffee, excessive drinking coffee will have adverse effects on the human body. The safe range of moderate intake of caffeine should be controlled below 400 mg per day, in addition, the best time to drink coffee should be after breakfast or noon, and the type of coffee should not add plant fat powder and other coffee as far as possible. drinking coffee should not exceed 600 ml a day.

In the past, many studies have shown that coffee is good for human health, including drinking coffee can reduce the risk of death; drinking coffee can reduce the risk of heart failure; drinking coffee can help protect the liver; drinking coffee can inhibit excessive immune response, strengthen the body's defense mechanism against free radicals, etc.; if you drink it in moderation, you shouldn't drink more than 600 milliliters of coffee a day! * Image source: Internet
