Therefore, today we are talking about 7 useful properties of coffee that you might not know about.





Coffee will help you lose weight 

If your goal is to lose a couple (or a little more) kilograms, then we recommend adding this drink to your diet . After all, coffee helps improve metabolism. And chlorogenic acid (an ester of caffeic acid), which is found in greater quantities in Robusta and Arabica varieties, reduces the amount of visceral fat. This is the fat that is inaccessible to our eyes. It is located in the abdomen and envelops the internal organs, protecting them from damage. But too much of it can also be hazardous to health. For example, it can lead to breast cancer or the development of non-insulin dependent diabetes (type 2 diabetes). 


It contains many nutrients 

For example, B vitamins (B-2,3 and 5). And also manganese, potassium and phosphorus. All these elements are needed to maintain the work of our body. For example, riboflavin (aka vitamin B-2) is responsible for the condition of hair, skin and nails . And phosphorus is needed for the health of our bones and teeth. 


Helps to live longer

Thanks to a cup of coffee at breakfast, you can extend your life. The work of scientists shows that those who regularly consume this drink have a lower risk of premature death. And this is due to the fact that coffee prevents the occurrence of many diseases. 


Reduces the risk of stroke 

For example, it reduces the risk of stroke. It is believed that coffee can cause diseases of the cardiovascular system (due to the effect on blood pressure and heart rate). However, scientists say the opposite . Coffee not only does not increase the risk of developing heart disease, but also helps to cope with them. For example, with diabetes, hypertension and the already mentioned stroke. In addition, coffee is an excellent antioxidant (even better than tea and red wine). And all thanks to chlorogenic acid, which we talked about earlier, as well as ferulic acid. It works as an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agent. And helps prevent blood clots.


 Helps your liver

Coffee drinks can also help protect the liver. Those who drink coffee regularly are less likely to develop liver fibrosis. This is a disease in which scar tissue accumulates on it. Such a process can cause the organ to malfunction and lead to a chronic disease - cirrhosis. 


Coffee may reduce cancer risk 

Namely , cancer of the liver, colon and female breast. Liver and colon cancers are the 3rd and 4th leading causes of cancer death worldwide. Studies show that coffee can reduce the risk of liver cancer by 40% and colon cancer by 15%.





And prevent Alzheimer's and dementia

Unfortunately, science has not yet come up with a cure that would completely cope with Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, it is important to have time to take preventive measures. For example, add some coffee to your menu. It has been proven that coffee drinkers are less at risk of developing dementia (up to 65%).
