New data from scientists reveal the additional benefits of a popular drink - coffee. This drink is recognized not only for a pleasant taste, but also beneficial to our body, as confirmed by Healthline experts.
Increasing energy: caffeine contained in coffee activates the central nervous system, overcomes fatigue and increases energy. This is achieved by blocking the receptors of adenosine neurotransmitter, which leads to an increase in the level of other neurotransmitters, in particular dopamine.
Reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes: regular use of coffee in the long run significantly reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes. Coffee helps to preserve the function of beta-cells of the pancreas that produce insulin responsible for blood sugar. Antioxidants in coffee increase insulin sensitivity, reduce inflammation and promote metabolism.
Brain health support: Studies indicate that coffee protects against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Moderate coffee consumption is also associated with reducing the risk of dementia and improving cognitive functions.
Weight control: coffee can affect the increase in fat and maintain bowel health, facilitating weight control. It has been studied that more coffee consumption is associated with a decrease in fat deposits, especially in men.
