The medical world is abuzz with the recent findings that coffee can indeed be good for you. Apparently, drinking coffee is especially good for cutting the risk of strokes in women. Other sources say drinking coffee every day during our middle years can reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s and dementia. As always, there is a catch. After years of hearing that we shouldn’t drink coffee at all, or we should only drink two cups a day, and then hearing those two cups should be decaf – whew! – now we read that we should drink coffee every day to reduce the risk of stroke. The catch? We need to drink four or more cups of coffee a day! According to an article on WebMD, “the study shows that women who drank four or more cups of coffee a day had a 20% reduced risk of stroke compared to women who had less than one cup per month. Drinking two to three cups per day reduced risk by 19%. Drinking a cup five to seven times a week reduced risk by 12%.” For those who may be at risk if they drink too much coffee, the article goes on to say, “The beneficial effects of coffee can only be applied to healthy people,” she says. “Anyone with health problems that can be worsened by coffee ( insomnia, anxiety, hypertension, or heart problems) should talk to their doctor about their specific risk.” Other recent articles regarding coffee addresses the fact that drinking large amounts of coffee in middle age decreases the likelihood of Alzheimer’s or dementia later in life. Apparently, drinking moderate amounts of coffee can reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s and dementia by 65%. All of this is great news for coffee lovers, but not so good news for those who get the shakes after a cup or two. Obviously, discretion is key in the amount of coffee one should or could drink. Be sure to check with your health care provider before making such a drastic change in your coffee drinking habits. Are you a coffee drinker? How many cups a day? Will these articles change your drinking habits? Related Posts:

Kava ne uzrokuje aritmiju srca Osobe koje piju četiri ili više šalice kave dnevno imaju 18 posto manje šanse da budu hospitalizirane zbog problema srčane aritmije Usprkos uvriježenom mišljenju da kava odnosno kofein može uzrokovati probleme sa srčanim ritmom, nova studija ukazuje kako pijenje umjerenih količina kave u stvari može umanjiti rizik od nastanka dotičnih problema. Ranije studije pokazale su kako kofein doista može pogoršati situaciju kod osoba koje već pate od poremećaja srčanog ritma, a ispijanje kave bilo je povezivano i s povećanim rizicima od ateroskleroze, zadebljanja stijenki krvnih žila te srčanih bolesti. No, prema studiji predstavljenoj na 50. po redu godišnjoj konferenciji organizacije American Heart Association on Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention, osobe koje piju četiri ili više šalice kave dnevno imaju 18 posto manje šanse da budu hospitalizirane zbog problema srčane aritmije. Kod onih koji piju jednu do tri šalice kave dnevno taj rizik je umanjen za sedam posto, navode američki znanstvenici. Ovi pozitivni učinci kave ni po čemu nisu 'diskriminirajući', kažu liječnici, pa tako od njih podjednake koristi imaju i muškarci i žene, a isto vrijedi i za sve rase.
