Is Coffee good for you [ 5 Things you must know about coffee ] 2018
Coffee is good for you, a new study says. Wait, no, coffee is actually not that good for you, a newer study says. It seems like research on coffee keeps contradicting itself: It is simultaneously the cause of and the cure to everything.

The good news
Coffee has been shown to lessen the risk of some of the country’s most common illnesses. Moderate coffee consumption – one to three cups a day – have been associated with a lower risk for heart attacks, especially in women. Some studies have shown a lower risk for cancers like endometrial, prostate and some breast cancers. And coffee has also been linked to a lower risk of Parkinson’s disease.
It’s also been shown to lower your risk of diabetes.“Most of our research has been on diabetes – there are 35 studies now on coffee and diabetes,” van Dam says. “These have been quite consistent – people drinking more coffee have a lower risk of diabetes. It is remarkably consistent. It’s hard to imagine another factor that coffee drinkers have that would be so effective.”
And it may help reduce the risk for developing depression. Women who drank two or three cups of coffee a day were 15 percent less likely to develop depression when compared to women who drank just one cup a day, one study found.
The answer is, as the answer often is: You be you. If you don't like coffee, the evidence of its benefits isn't strong enough for nutrition scientists to recommend that you start drinking it. If you do, the evidence of its harms isn't strong enough for them to recommend that you stop.
Unfiltered coffee is not great for you.
That means Turkish coffee or coffee made with a French press.
“We know that if you have unfiltered coffee, that there is a substance called cafestol that increases your cholesterol level,” van Dam says. “So if you drink it throughout the day, it can increase your risk of heart disease.” But if you use a filter, or drink instant coffee – or if you only drink French press coffee or Turkish coffee every once in a while – you’re OK, he says. “But if you drink it every day in huge amounts, it may have an effect on your cholesterol levels.”
The caffeine in coffee may be harmful during pregnancy.“We have concerns that high caffeine intake may be detrimental to the fetus,” van Dam says. “Because the fetus can’t metabolize caffeine very well – they don’t have the ability to make it dissolve from the blood stream.” And that can mean the fetus is taking in less nutrition.
“So, for women who are pregnant, although the evidence is not conclusive, we do suggest limiting coffee consumption at this stage of life,” van Dam says.
Lots of cream and sugar in your coffee is not doing your health any good.“The coffee-shop kind of coffees are high in calories because they’re large beverages and they have lots of cream and sugar. It seems obvious, but it’s something to consider,” van Dam says.
Coffee is good for health.But you can consume 2–3 cup of coffee a day. Here are benefits of coffee…
Drinking coffee will lower the risk of type-II diabetes.Drinking coffee will prevent from stoke!!
- Caffeine is the main ingredient found in coffee. It is the common fat burning supplement found in many items. Caffeine is a natural substance that has the power to burn the fat from our body. It helps to boost the metabolic rate by 3-11%. Caffeine helps to burn the fat for about 10% for those who have excess weight and 29% of lean people.
- It fuels the nervous system by sending signals to fat cells to break the fatty cells. It also increases the Epinephrine level in the blood. Epinephrine is the hormone which helps our body to do intense physical exertion. Caffeine helps to break the fatty cells from our body and release them into the blood as free fatty acid. It can improve the physical performance by 11-12%. Do you know this make it sense to have a coffee half an hour before going to gym? Though, it can extremely improve the physical performance .
Coffee bean contains an essential nutrients in it. Do you know a single cup of coffee contains the below nutrients:
- Magnesium and Niacin (B3)- 2% of the Recommended Dietary Allowance.
- Riboflavin (Vitamin B2)- 11% of the Recommended Dietary Allowance.
- Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5)- 6% of the Recommended Dietary Allowance.
- Magnesium and Potassium- 3% of the Recommended Dietary Allowance.
Drinking coffee will lower the risk of type-II diabetes which is affecting over 300 millions of people over the worldwide. Studies have proven that significant coffee drinkers nearly about 23-50% have lower risk of diabetes and 67% of the people have a higher risk.
Coffee contains caffeine which stimulates the central nervous system and in turn helps to reduce fatigue and increase alertness,some people take coffee and still sleep for longer hours than they normally do while others take it and it works for them.Really I think it works differently in various person. Coffee can also be used to cure diseases such as cancer,gallstones, diabetes,stroke,Parkinson's disease and so on. Coffee can also be used to boost physical performance,loose weight,burn excess day and fight depression.
But a high consumption of coffee on a regular basis can have a negative effect on the body. Coffee can cause anxiety,insomnia, nausea,vomiting, stomach upset,increased heart rate and effects.
Excessive consumption can also lead to irregular heartbeats and headache.For those with heart diseases,it is advised that they should not take more than 2-3 cups of coffee per day.
Blood pressure
Caffeine can also increase blood pressure drastically even for those with a normal blood pressure. Therefore, it is advised that those with a high blood pressure should reduce their coffee intake so as not to increase the blood pressure further.
Cholesterol
Unfiltered coffee can increase the serum and LDL cholesterol levels in the body. It contains cholesterol raising substances which increases total cholesterol level in the body.Persons with high cholesterol should abstain from unfiltered coffee and take filtered ones instead.
Gastric problems
Consumption of coffee by patients of gastritis, peptic ulcers and ulcerative colitis can lead to the irritation of their gastric lining. This is because coffee inceases the production of gastric acid and weakens the gastrick lining making it easier for bacteria to penetrate.
These are the major things I've gathered from my research on the effects of coffee. Coffee should be taken moderately so as to prevent these negative effects on our health.
The Department of Nutrition, Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, MA has excelled in high quality nutritional studies for decades. But this study is particularly important, because it is so large giving it more statistical power; secondly, the observation time of an average of 22.5 years is longer than most coffee studies in the past. Add to this the removal of the noise (called confounding factors) that interfered with the objective of the study and you end up with a very meaningful result.
The important findings were that both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee have the same effect of saving lives. Perhaps you want to drink not more than 5 cups of coffee per day. That lowers your risk of premature death by 15%. It is most likely that it is the effect of lowering the rate of diabetes and heart attack rates that is responsible for the risk reduction. At least this was the opinion of the chief investigator. Cancer rates were not lowered by coffee consumption.
I sleep better when I drink decaffeinated coffee, so for me the notion that decaffeinated coffee had the same effect as regular coffee was important.

Conclusion
Here is a study that is large enough, went long enough, and showed decisively that both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee will reduce the death rate by 15% up to 5 cups of coffee per day. This finding was true for both males and females. Coffee seems to also reduce the suicide risk by a mechanism that has not yet been determined. If you want to live 15% longer than your previous life expectancy would have been without coffee, you may now have your coffee and enjoy it!
