Although the health benefits of coffee are more commonly known these days, it is probably still surprising to find that most adults in the United States get their antioxidants from this beverage.
Coffee is the number one pick for breakfast beverages around the world. It is also the number one selling beverage in the United States. Coffee is often misunderstood because of the caffeine found in the beverage.
Coffee and Disease
Recent studies have shown that drinking a few cups of coffee per day can actually lower your risk of heart disease and many forms of cancer. This is good news for those senior coffee fans.
Studies from the Harvard School of Public Health have shown that coffee drinkers are less likely to suffer from Parkinson's Disease, dementia, and Type II Diabetes than people who do not drink coffee.
All three of these diseases are most likely to affect seniors. Coffee drinkers are also less likely to have certain types of cancers including prostate cancer. Coffee drinkers are less likely to have heart rhythm issues that lead to stroke.
Stroke is actually the third leading cause of death among seniors in the United States and in many European countries. Drinking a few cups of coffee per day is now considered beneficial to any diet, including the diet of a senior.
The same Harvard study has shown that the combination of drinking coffee and avoiding a high fat diet is what allows the absorption of the antioxidants that are found in coffee.
This means that the beneficial chemicals in coffee are readily absorbed by the body as long as your diet does not include large quantities of saturated fat.
To really appreciate the health benefits of coffee, the recent studies have focused on both caffeinated and decaf varieties.
It seems that whether or not the caffeine is present really has no effect on the nutrition when it comes to coffee.
Decaf coffee offers the same quantities of chromium and magnesium that are found in caffeinated versions. These two minerals help your body to fight disease, and it has been determined that up to 4 cups of coffee per day can be beneficial for seniors wishing to fight the onset of certain brain diseases like Parkinson's.
Filled with antioxidants and routinely found on daily menus, drinking coffee is one of the easiest ways to add nutrition to your diet.
Enjoying your daily cup of coffee does not have to be a guilty pleasure any more!
