Benefits-Of-Drinking-Coffee
Coffee can protect you against dementia and Alzheimer's disease, according to a few studies. Alzheimer's disease is currently the leading cause of dementia, and is the most common neurodegenerative disease in the world.
Despite there not being a cure for Alzheimer's disease, there are ways to reduce the risk of suffering from it. Apart from exercising regularly and eating healthy in order to prevent this disease from attacking you, it's worth noting that drinking coffee can help you as well. According to a study conducted by the Faculty of Medicine of Lisbon, caffeine can lower the risk of Alzheimer's disease by as much as 65%Coffee improves motor function and muscle co-ordination.
Motor function refers to the efficiency with which we are able to perform tasks with our limbs, such as performing repetitive tasks with hands, such as working on a keyboard, or doing data entry on a computer.
It is for this reason that coffee/ caffeine rules the roost when it comes to improving efficiency from doing repetitive tasks, but not necessarily tasks that require technical processing.
Your metabolic rate is the amount of calories burned by your body at rest. It is sometimes also known as basal metabolic rate or resting metabolic rate, and differs based on lean muscle mass and other factors.
What if you could eat or drink something that could raise your metabolic rate, while doing absolutely no extra physical activity? It would be a weight loser's dream because it's like exercising - without leaving your couch! That salvation is coffee.
A study published by the American Journal Of Physiologyii compared differences in metabolism between younger and old men, and found that both groups of men experienced similar thermogenic outputs following consumption of caffeine.
However, the group of younger men experienced increased release of free fatty acids, translating to higher metabolisms. And if they were overweight, the chances of melting away fat stores is higher.
Coffee may even help people who already have cancer. While many studies focused on the reduction of risk that coffee can give a person for getting cancer, one unique study looked at the effects of coffee on those who already had cancer.
This study followed people who were in stage III colon cancer. It found that in those who had remission from their cancer, drinking two cups of coffee daily was associated with a reduced risk of cancer recurrence and even death from colon cancer.

Top 5 -benefits -of -Decaf-Coffee
- Reduced Risk of Type 2 Diabetes
- Better Sleep and Reduced Anxiety
- Antioxidant Properties

1. Reduced Risk of Type 2 Diabetes
According to many studies, decaf coffee can help prevent a lot of conditions including Type 2 diabetes. As a matter of fact, it can be as beneficial as your common black coffee. And you don't need to have caffeine regularly either.
2. Better Sleep and Reduced Anxiety
Often, coffee is the first thing that most people have first thing in the morning. Most people drink coffee to get rid of exhaustion. The fact of the matter is that caffeine is so powerful that it can disturb your sleep. In some cases, it may cause insomnia.
But if you switch to decaf, it can help you reduce insomnia, which is triggered by excessive consumption of caffeine. But having decaf coffee in the morning can help you keep your energy levels high throughout the day.
Another great benefit of having a cup of decaf coffee is that it can help you bring your anxiety down, especially if you have an anxiety disorder.
3. Antioxidant Properties
If you drink coffee for its antioxidant properties, switching to decaf can be a great solution. The reason is that it still offers enough antioxidants just like common coffee. But it's important to keep in mind that decaf contains a lower amount of antioxidants because of the lack of caffeine.
4. Less Acidic
Since coffee is acidic, it may cause acidic effects like heartburn. Therefore, people mix it with dairy products like milk in order to reduce the acidic effects. Among other benefits, decaf coffee has a much lower acidic content because of the lower amount of caffeine.
If you suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), you may go for this alternative. This will help you prevent a lot of side effects including acid reflux.
5. Reduced Risk of Cardiovascular Diseases
Although regular coffee can help reduce the risk of a lot of diseases, decaf may be a good choice when it comes to preventing cardiovascular diseases. The problem is that caffeine is not good for your health. Therefore, opting for decaffeinated coffee is a stroke of genius, especially if heart disease runs in your family.
Long story short, decaffeinated coffee offers a lot of benefits. Therefore, if you suffer from heart disease or acid reflux, we suggest that you go for decaf as it's an ideal alternative. Plus, it's free of caffeine. So, you don't need to worry about anything.
Is It OK If I Drink Coffee

In my chiropractic office I get asked many questions. Usually, I am asked about how to help with musculoskeletal problems. I personally, have an interest and have studied a good bit about nutrition. Many of my patients know this and will ask me questions on the subject.
Recently a patient asked me:
"Is it OK if I drink coffee?"
Since I drink coffee a couple times a week, I didn't see any harm in it, but I wasn't sure if there was a nutritional benefit, so I did some research. This article will discuss nutritional benefits of moderate coffee drinking.
Coffee is one of the most popular and consumed beverages on the planet. I found that there is quite a bit of scientific documentation on the benefits of drinking coffee. Most of the studies noted that moderate coffee drinking (one to three cups/day) was optimal. However, some showed that drinking more than 3 cups a day was even better.
I was surprised to find a 2015 study showing the association of coffee consumption (decaffeinated and caffeinated) linked to increased life longevity. The study included tens of thousands of men and women and found that regular coffee drinkers (one to five cups a day) had less risk for an early death. I found it interesting that those who consumed more than 5 cups of coffee a day did not necessarily show increased longevity.
The Journal of the American Medical Association Oncology, September 2020 found that caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee seem to benefit patients with colorectal cancer. This study of 1171 patients tracked their coffee consumption for five years. It was observed that those who consumed 2 to 3 cups of coffee per day had not only an increased survival rate but that their cancer was less likely to progress.
In 2019 scientist used MRIs of the brain to look for amyloid plaque build-up, which is a feature found in dementia and Alzheimer's disease. The study involving 411 seniors, without cognitive impairment, found that those consuming two or more cups of coffee per day had lower brain levels of amyloid. This suggests a reduced risk for dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
There were also studies showing that moderate coffee drinking may benefit those with type 2 diabetes, liver cancer, endometrial cancer, prostate cancer and cardiovascular disease.
I believe everyone should take these findings and adapt them to their personal preferences and benefit. I know that if I drink coffee every day I do not do well. I get jittery, and don't sleep well.
I seem to do just fine with green tea (which has its own benefits) and alternate days of coffee with days of tea. I also periodically like to take some days without any caffeine consumption.
Take this article and utilize it in whatever way you feel is optimal for you. Don't be afraid to do your own research on the benefits of coffee and other caffeinated beverages. Also, if you are interested in other topics on nutrition there is a plethora of science research that you can investigate. Have fun with it!
The-Story-of-Turkish-Coffee

In 1540,
the Ottoman Ruler of the country of Yemen, Ozdemir Pasha, inquired about a hot liquid that the locals produced from the beans of a plant. He became the first Turkish ruler to taste coffee. But, was it what we know today to be "Turkish Coffee." Probably not. Still, the aroma, if not the taste, intrigued the man enough for him to order his servants to tinker with it. Some unknown servant discovered that the flavor of coffee became more powerful if the beans were roasted, then very finely ground. No one thought to filter the grounds then, nor is that done for Turkish Coffee today.
The art of having coffee developed about how it was served as much as on how it was created. On or about the year 1555, Pasha felt that the coffee was perfected well enough for him to have his servants to serve it to Suleiman the Magnificent, the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. This was a risk, but the Sultan was delighted with the flavor and aroma of this exotic new drink made from the beans of a plant that thrived in lands that he controlled. He ordered more serious effort into perfecting the processing of the beans, and we can attribute today's Turkish Coffee as an outcome of this effort. Remarkably, Ottoman royalty, for the most part, saw no reason to deny coffee to the populace. Note: A later Sultan did suppress coffee cafes when his rule became tenuous, and he learned that men gathered to drink coffee also discussed taking him out of power.
Coffee houses sprang up all over the Ottoman Empire, creating a new reason for people to gather socially, while the elite turned to serving their coffee in small gatherings, making the drink look sophisticated by serving it in fine cups made of china, gold, silver, and cradling the cups in ornately carved wood or setting them upon matching little saucers. The elites of other countries acquired that habit in their courts too. Someone added sugar to the coffee and that won over legions of new connoisseurs who had balked at coffee's bitter taste.
Coffee did not make it to the common people of Europe until 1615, after a Venetian merchant introduced it. Web search the scramble of European powers to acquire and grow their own coffee plants in order to prevent the Ottomans from cutting off the supply of coffee beans or to dramatically raise the price of the beans. All of the East India Companies got in on the hunt for and capture of coffee bean plants. Interestingly, one of the companies determined that the plants would grow in most places on Earth along the latitude of where it grew naturally in Yemen. Web search Proverbs 31:6. This is the only Christian Biblical verse that I found to support coffee, a drink that lay undiscovered until after the time of Jesus' ministry, sacrifice, and resurrection.
