After analysis of the impact on human beings of different foods (including fruits, vegetables and nuts), researchers found that their benefits are significantly less than 1.2 cups of coffee. “Antioxidants contained in this drink are able to resist diseases such as diabetes and successfully combat the free radicals that deplete the structure of cells, say the authors of the publication in the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine. Antioxidants are natural or nature identical compounds which prevent oxidation of the active compounds in the cells of the body, which reduces the risk of developing various diseases, including related to the chemical, physical, radiological, bacteriological and other environmental factors. Is another interesting fact from the published research – that are equally useful and coffee with and without caffeine. According to statistics daily average use grown-up 1299 mg antioxidants from coffee (drank an average of 1.64 cups of coffee). His closest “rival” is tea in one cup of which contains 294 mg, followed by bananas (76 mg), mature beans (72 mg) and maize (48 mg). Scientists indicate the recommended daily norm coffee – a cup and a half and warned that it should not replace other products needed for the organism.
This is the first study in favor of coffee. Some time ago Japanese scientists showed that a cup of coffee a day reduces the risk of diseases such as liver cancer, Parkinson’s disease and some varieties of diabetes. Simultaneously, experts agree that excessive use can lead to the emergence of heart disease, insomnia and high blood pressure.
