Coffee Health Facts: What is Good and What is Not? |
Thursday, 10 January 2008 | ||||
Coffee is my favorite beverage. I really love it. “Coffee is the best thing to douse the sunrise with.” ~Drew Sirtors The morning is not the morning without hot coffee cup and delicious coffee aroma! But is coffee as good to the health as it is to the taste? There are a lot of different facts about health hazard of coffee. But I believe that there are some health benefits! I decided to rehabilitate its reputation! So what is good and what is not about coffee?
Let’s see some scientific facts about caffeine: Caffeine is a substance that exists naturally in certain plants. It can also be produced synthetically and used as an additive in food products. It is a central nervous system stimulant and a diuretic. Caffeine is absorbed and distributed very quickly. After absorption, it passes into the brain. Caffeine does not accumulate in the bloodstream nor is it stored in the body. It is excreted in the urine many hours after it has been consumed. Caffeine will not reduce the effects of alcohol, although many people still believe a cup of coffee will "sober-up" an intoxicated person. Caffeine may be used as a treatment for migraine headaches and in relieving, for a short time, fatigue or drowsiness. Excessive caffeine intake can lead to a fast heart rate, excessive urination, nausea, vomiting, restlessness, anxiety, depression, tremors, and difficulty sleeping. Moderate caffeine intake, however, is not associated with any health risk. Three 8 oz. cups of coffee (about 250 milligrams of caffeine) per day is considered an average or moderate amount of caffeine. What about coffee addiction? Recent research suggests that drinking some amount of coffee each day can result in addiction. Coffee addiction can hurt you in more ways than one. Caffeine is a drug and your body will adjust to it. Coffee addiction can cause loss of sleep, depression, chronic headaches, increased blood pressure and blood sugar, and more. But here is the good news. If you decide to quite caffeine and kick your coffee addiction for good, then the withdrawal symptoms generally last only between seven and nine days.
Drinking coffee appears to lower the risk of developing skin cancer. The caffeine and exercise seemingly work together in killing off pre-cancerous cells whose DNA has been damaged by UVB-rays. So if you like coffee and take a little exercise as well, it sounds like you’ll be protected.

Quotation
"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." Albert Einstein
