Expert: coffee helps to resist various diseases and is good for physical and mental health.

According to Russian media on November 22, American scientists have conducted an experiment that shows that drinking 3-5 cups of coffee a day can help reduce the risk of death from a variety of cardiovascular and neurological diseases. Scientists believe that moderate consumption of coffee can reduce the risk of early death.

According to statistics, the world consumes 2.25 billion cups of coffee every year. Coffee itself is a complex chemical compound, including caffeine. In addition to caffeine, coffee also contains a series of interesting chemicals. It contains more than 1000 different compounds, including caffeoylquinic acid, chlorogenic acid, diterpenes, ferulyl quinic acid and 4-methylimidazole, just to name a few. Scientists spent a long time (about 30 years) observing the health of 16000 nurses and 41000 doctors.

After the experiment, the scientists found that the people who took part in the experiment (drinking five cups of coffee a day) were healthier. Scientists say the active compounds in coffee help reduce systemic inflammation and insulin resistance. This and other effects may to some extent explain the health benefits of coffee that we found in our experiments. Scientists also point out that further research is needed to understand how coffee works. Currently, coffee is planned to be included in official diets developed by health agencies, American social services and other countries around the world.
