Experts "rectify" coffee 101 reasons why coffee is not guilty

In China, due to the far-reaching influence of the traditional "tea culture", there is a kind of resistance to the "foreign"coffee culture". Coupled with the previous negative reports about coffee, most people have misunderstandings about coffee. However, in the last decade, many scholars and researchers have cleared the "grievances" of coffee, and people have gradually learned about coffee, and coffee has only begun to be "rectified".

According to a book, 101 reasons for Coffee's innocence, as long as you drink it properly and regularly, coffee protects the heart better than wine. This book is compiled by Professor Hu Dayi, a famous cardiovascular expert in China, in cooperation with Mario Malario, former president of the World Heart Federation. Li Weimin, vice president of the first affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University and director of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, also said: "caffeine can improve the contractile function of the left ventricle and the blood flow of the coronary artery, so drinking coffee in moderation can protect the heart and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease." For those who are worried about a faster heart rate, he also recommends one or two cups a day, and one for the elderly. Not too strong, with or without sugar as much as possible.

In addition to being favored by cardiovascular experts, coffee is also respected by many other medical experts. Liu Jinying, deputy director of nutrition at the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, said: "the polyphenols in coffee are strong antioxidants. Drinking some coffee every day has a certain effect on both cancer prevention and cancer treatment. " Liu Jinying also suggested that hepatitis patients can drink some coffee every day, which is good for hepatocyte repair. Thus it can be seen that coffee plays a certain role in preventing cancer and protecting the liver.

Tao Lin, deputy director of the Department of Gastroenterology of the Beijing traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital affiliated to the Capital Medical University, suggested that meat eaters had better have a cup of coffee after meals, which has a good effect on relieving grease and helping digestion. Because coffee contains more soluble dietary fiber than orange juice, caffeine can stimulate the intestinal tract and accelerate intestinal peristalsis, so coffee can help digestion and relieve constipation to a certain extent. In addition, numerous studies have shown that coffee drinkers have a lower incidence of type 2 diabetes than non-coffee drinkers. Because coffee contains certain substances that can reduce the absorption of glucose in the intestines and change the location of glucose absorption.

The research of many researchers, scholars and experts shows that coffee has a certain positive effect on human health. With the gradual deepening of people's understanding of "coffee culture", I believe that coffee culture will set off another wave in our country in the future.
