Scientists say coffee is the "most effective medicine" 2-3 cups a day

According to international statistics, coffee is a popular drink second only to water in human society (tea ranks third), and there are a lot of disputes about the advantages and disadvantages of coffee. It is well known that on the one hand, coffee is a perfect brain stimulant, on the other hand, it can cause vasospasm.

The new data restored the reputation of coffee, which has reduced mortality after more than 13 years of observation of more than 40,000 people between the ages of 50 and 71, according to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine. During this period, those who did not drink coffee at all and are now dead are 10% more than those who drank two or three cups of coffee a day.

Jean Constantt, academician of the French Academy of Medicine and Pharmacology, said: "Coffee is a good medicine." It makes people dependent. But the good thing is that it has no side effects, and unlike smoke, it is non-toxic and does not cause serious diseases. Coffee drinkers are usually more optimistic and have a positive lifestyle. Although they get older, they will remain young in mind. "

French nutritionist Jean-Paul Blank said: "Coffee is first of all a pleasant thing, if it is not abused, or when the stomach acid is high during pregnancy, and do not drink coffee when taking certain drugs, then coffee is harmless to the human body."

Professor Laurence Chevalier believes that we do not recommend coffee as a means of improving health: we must be careful because acrylamide, a potential carcinogen, is formed when coffee beans are roasted.

Natalya Grydasova, a mental endocrinologist, suggests that coffee is a potent substance, but it is well known that the stronger the force, the stronger the reaction. Of course, coffee is a very effective stimulant. It can also relieve stress, speed up metabolism and strengthen blood vessels. And it may contain bioactive substances that can help tissue regeneration. Therefore, it may be related to the reduction of mortality. But pregnant women are not allowed to drink coffee and drink at most one cup a week. It is also not recommended for children under the age of 10 to drink coffee, because it may affect the child's psychology and make the child dependent on psychological stimulation. Therefore, it is best to give children cocoa or hot chocolate. In addition, people with palpitations or arrhythmias should not drink coffee, while perfectly healthy people drink up to 150 milliliters of cups and two to three cups of coffee a day.
