Morning coffee for most people is as natural as the morning toilet. Many people throughout the day cannot do without a cup of coffee, so fragrant and invigorating. There are very different opinions about the dangers and benefits of this drink. Let's consider the most popular ones.
Most often, coffee is said to increase blood pressure. It is not true that this drink causes hypertension. Of course, if a person with hypertension already abuses coffee, then the tonometer readings may be higher than usual, but not significantly, only because the caffeine that has entered the body maintains the pressure at the level familiar to a person, preventing a decrease. That is why coffee is not recommended for pregnant women.
At the same time, coffee has a slight diuretic property, therefore, it can lead to a slight decrease in pressure. If we talk about hypotension, then again, coffee can raise blood pressure to normal levels, but no more.
In the event that a person does not suffer from either hypotension or hypertension, coffee, especially natural coffee, can only be beneficial. Coffee beans contain substances useful for humans such as mineral salts, fats, proteins, carbohydrates. Caffeine, the main component of coffee, is responsible for increasing performance, increasing concentration and improving memory.
A common misconception is the belief that frequent coffee consumption leads to yellow tooth enamel. This is not true, the color of the teeth depends primarily on the condition of the teeth. The claim that coffee can cause insomnia is controversial. It directly depends on the characteristics of the organism of a particular person. Someone after a cup of aromatic coffee feels a surge of strength, while someone, on the contrary, relaxes.
The beneficial qualities of coffee include such as improving reproductive function in men, preventing a number of diseases, for example, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, heart attack, asthma, migraine, liver cirrhosis. Helps with diseases of the nervous system, infectious diseases, vasospasm, digestive disorders.
Negative qualities can be called such as addiction and, therefore, dependence, with abuse, excessive excitement is possible, in the presence of certain diseases, damage to the blood vessels and the heart can be caused. Such useful substances as calcium, potassium, sodium and magnesium are washed out of the human body.
It is unlikely that any other product causes so much controversy about its benefits and harms at the same time, but this does not prevent coffee from beckoning us with its wonderful aroma and divine taste.
