Coffee, a drink with great benefits

Should I give up coffee?

Consistently associated with a reduction in cardiovascular disease, improve cerebrovascular function, cognition and neuroplasticity, for high level sports performance, even as protectors for type 2 diabetes and so-called cancer diseases....MORE REASONS ? CHECK BELOW ...

But, what does coffee contain?
Coffee has different properties,
 due to different components, two major groups of components, caffeine and its benefits and properties, and coffee-specific antioxidants

What is caffeine? 

Pure caffeine

Caffeine, which is precisely this very important component for health, that coffee has, has multiple benefits or multiple effects and functions for the body.

Caffeine is a stimulant, we have all experienced the effects of the nervous system when we consume coffee, the effects of caffeine. It enters the stomach and is assimilated very quickly, in 30 minutes. The dose of caffeine also depends on two things: 

– The dosage,

– The level of sensitivity of your metabolism, there are people who are hypersensitive to caffeine or coffee and others who require a higher dose.
They are more or less slow or fast “metabolizers”. 

How does coffee make me alert

The stimulus that coffee has on us, actually, just sits on our central nervous system and also on the peripheral nervous system.

How?

Caffeine stimulates neuron activity in the brain in which neurons send messages to the pituitary gland to stimulate the adrenal glands, which then produces adrenaline and cortisol, what is happening is that these hormones cause a state of stress, they slightly stress our body.

Is this process bad? 
Not necessarily however this is going to be very important because anchored to this “some” people should give up coffee for a while.
So when I apply small stressful stimuli to my body, I allow it to foster a series of adaptive responses, that will be very positive for my health, so this effect of caffeine is very powerful.

Does it help for exercise?
Another advantage of coffee is that it helps the physical performance of many people and it can be very useful as supplements for sportsmen drink coffee before starting training for greater performance and considerably increase resistance in activity and resist better to fatigue during physical training we will say that coffee becomes a propellant.

For physical training, especially if I consume it in the morning because remember that after I wake up I have a window of more or less 30 to 45 minutes where my body loads all the cortisol levels and the cortisol burns off little by little during the day it is as if it allows us to surf on a wave, or a natural physiological curve, this same wave will help me to take advantage of coffee in the morning, this is how coffee acts as a stimulant and that is why the best time to consume it is precisely in the morning. 

What are the cardiovascular benefits? 

With all these benefits we experience from coffee, can coffee also help us reduce heart disease? 

Reducing heart disease when coffee causes tachycardia…isn’t it dangerous? well “NO”, a moderate consumption of coffee of 5 or 6 cups per day reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease because of the advantage that we will call: Cardioprotective. What antioxidants does it contain? We come across antioxidants in coffee. Chlorogenic acid with antioxidant, hypoglycemic, antiviral, protective liver, pancreas, gallbladder and nutraceutical properties, among others. Melanoidins: have shown antioxidant, anti-radical and antimicrobial activities, among others. Every day, the population consumes about 2 to 10 grams of melanoidins and are mainly found in coffee and cereals. Trigonellin, which may help protect against oxidative (pancreatic) stress damage, has been shown to inhibit cancer cell invasion in in vitro tests. At the same time, this molecule has shown its ability to regenerate the dendrites and axons of nerve cells, which suggests that it helps memory. There are also polyphenols as can be found in many foods in red fruits and the amount of polyphenols in coffee including lignans and flavonoids which are also linked to the reduction of chronic diseases and cardiovascular diseases and of course in diseases like cancer.

So those are the two big groups we want to focus on, one is caffeine and the other is the potential of antioxidants.

What does science say?
Cardiovascular benefits, some studies have shown the benefits that coffee has on cardiovascular risk and one might think, but no, if coffee generates hypertension people should avoid it, for this reason we have already said that coffee can increase the production of adrenaline and cortisol and that of course can increase blood pressure and heart rate, but that’s a transient effect, it’s exactly the same with the effect of climbing stairs,  is it risky? For sure It’s going to cause high blood pressure, just for a while, if you’re climbing stairs, or riding a bike, or playing football.  At this moment, your heart rate and blood pressure are monitored, they will be a little high, and that’s normal and can be slightly compared with coffee effect.

How does coffee help the brain?

Studies that have demonstrated at the level of meta-analysis comment on coffee can act on neurodegenerative diseases known as Parkinson’s disease and degenerative diseases known as Alzheimer’s disease. Coffee is definitely a great ally for improving cognitive performance. A lot of people drink caffeine before an entry before they start working before they take an exam before they start making YouTube videos precisely because of the effect it has because the stimulus it has on the system The central nerves will increase the concentration of creativity, you will have a bigger beautiful mind. However, when you act slightly slightly more intensely, you cannot feel confused when you feel confused, precisely because you have to think very quickly, which in psychiatry is called tachypsychia, just as there is tachycardia, you can . have tachypsychia, so you have very fast thoughts. This is why it is very important to know the dose at which you have the real benefit.

Is coffee effective against CANCER?
♣COFFEE AND CANCER PAGE♣
A very important benefit is the reduction of cancer simply because antioxidants don’t talk about the potential to reduce DNA damage and prevent the occurrence of tumor cells which on everlasting growth which absolutely never stops and they don’t have the signal that the tissue has to die, that’s why a tumor forms.

What’s the best way to drink coffee?

To take advantage of the complex and benefits of coffee, #1 get Arabica coffee, #2 Specialty Grade,  then it is best to consume it as fresh as possible… best 5 days after roasting, in grain, grinding, and brewing it,  so you get the real sensory attributes of your beverage…more tips here 

If your coffee is tastier cold… you are getting advanced coffee lover.

We do not recommend decaffeinated coffee, as Arabica coffee has a really  low amount of caffeine which has poor effects even on hypersensitive metabolisms compared with Robusta coffees which have 3 times more caffeine, the quality of coffee than you drink This is the most important and we recommend that you be careful with the coffee you consume, unfortunately a significant amount of Robusta coffees are imported into Colombia. 

When is the best time to drink coffee?
The time to drink coffee, between the time you get up, and more or less, half an hour for the cortisol spike to set in, until three o’clock in the afternoon and from there you “should” lower your consumption because your body has lowered the production of cortisol, has lowered the production of adrenaline and we don’t want them to go up.
It is therefore important to reduce its consumption in the afternoon, because just as we like this hot and stimulating drink, we must correctly respect our biorhythms and our circadian cycle

What about diabetics and insulin? (*Click on the image to read the study) Consumption of antioxidants and coffee in a type 2 diabetic. A meta-analysis of 28 studies that commented that regular coffee consumption is associated with an antioxidant-driven decrease in inflammation pattern and improved insulin sensitivity. Remember that in diabetes, the cellular insulin receptor often becomes inflamed and does not allow insulin to work properly, which prevents sugar and glucose from entering the cell properly and for this reason it remains a little outside, which causes the body to produce more insulin and generate insulin resistance, this Insulin resistance, when we consume anti-inflammatories and antioxidants, many studies show that it serves as a cure

Then…Can pregnant women drink coffee? 

Remember, everything you eat or drink goes to the baby…   but,  Yes, coffee can be consumed by pregnant women, there were many doubts in the time, that coffee could cause abortions, but today there is already a lot of literature showing that coffee is absolutely healthy that, coffee can be consumed, but in moderation or intelligence.

Can children drink coffee?

Yes, the same with the same intelligent moderation, children can consume doses of up to 100 milligrams of caffeine a day, and wholeheartedly replace Cola for coffee, always respecting their biorhythms and their circadian cycle correctly, it i.e. a cup of coffee in the morning and ideally a specialty coffee to develop their sensory senses and talk about how they feel about flavor, aroma, appearance, appearance etc.
