Experts continue to argue about the benefits and harms of one of the most popular drinks - coffee. Some argue that coffee is not worth getting carried away with, as it harms the gastrointestinal tract, increases blood pressure and is dangerous for people with heart disease, while others believe that a cup of invigorating drink is good for everyone. Dr. Alexander Myasnikov called coffee the drink of long-livers.
Coffee is a popular beverage that gives vigor in the morning. However, opinions about its harms and benefits differ. Thus, according to some doctors and scientists, coffee is dangerous for people with a number of chronic diseases, such as people with GI and cardiovascular problems, while others argue that drinking four cups of coffee during the day will only be beneficial.
For example, a recent study conducted by Chinese scientists has revealed the ability of the drink to reduce the risk of premature death from all diseases. So, according to the scientific work, the experiment involved ten people, and observation of them was conducted for ten years.
At the end of the study found that the use of up to three cups of coffee a day compensates for the harm caused to the body from a sedentary lifestyle.
Commenting on the results of the study, physician, TV presenter Alexander Myasnikov said that he agrees with the conclusions of Chinese scientists and firmly states that coffee is harmless.
Moreover, Myasnikov reminded that this drink is officially included in cancer chemoprevention, as it reduces the risk of liver cancer.
The doctor also reminded that coffee fights arthritis, diabetes, arrhythmia, gout and Parkinson's disease.
Meanwhile, earlier about the benefits of coffee also told gastroenterologist Tatyana Zamożnia. According to the doctor, the invigorating drink has a beneficial effect on the work of the liver.
Also earlier experts told about green coffee.
