Coffee: fragrance between pros and cons

Some people say that coffee is a panacea, others say that coffee is black poison. A new study by Finnish researchers shows that drinking coffee regularly reduces the risk of diabetes, which seems to be a good footnote to the former, but in fact, whether it's Russian coffee made from jam, or milk-flavored cappuccino, or slightly tipsy Irish coffee. What people care about is the mellow, sweet taste.

As one of the three major drinks in the world (tea, coffee and cocoa), coffee has an unusual effect on the body. The main advantage of coffee is refreshing and relieving physical fatigue. It is said that there was a shepherd in Ethiopia in the 16th century. One day he found his sheep suddenly bouncing there. He thought it was very incredible. After careful observation, he realized that the sheep had eaten a kind of red fruit-coffee. He also felt refreshed after tasting it, and the fruit was later used as a pick-me-up.

Losing weight is becoming fashionable now. If you want to be slim, drinking black coffee can achieve this effect. Caffeine can speed up the decomposition of fat, combined with a lot of exercise can burn off excess calories. Coffee also has a wonderful effect on antioxidants. Tea is regarded as a healthy food because it is rich in antioxidants and can resist the harm of free radicals to the human body. Coffee contains four times more antioxidants than tea and is more resistant to cardiovascular disease. Foreign reports point out that coffee drinkers are significantly less likely to suffer from dry eyes than those who do not drink coffee. This is, of course, good news for computer users who love coffee.

But no matter how good coffee is, you can't overdo it, or it will become poison. It is appropriate to drink coffee no more than 2 cups a day, which is similar to eating the same dose of stimulants, which will cause nervousness. Take large amounts of caffeine for a long time, if you already have high blood pressure, using large amounts of caffeine will only make your condition worse. Blood pressure can rise for up to 12 hours after drinking a cup of coffee, according to a study. In addition, if you drink a lot of coffee for a long time, it is easy to cause bone loss, which will adversely affect the preservation of bone mass.

Of course, drinking coffee should also pay attention to the time, preferably after breakfast and lunch, because this can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, help digestion, can decompose the high-calorie, high-fat food eaten, and will not cause irritation to the intestines and stomach like drinking coffee on an empty stomach.

For better or worse, the pleasure of coffee lies in its taste, utility and atmosphere. Tasting coffee is nothing more than to enjoy the mellow beauty.
