Millions of people all over the world wake up each morning with a cup of coffee. Even though everyone knows about the stimulating properties of coffee and how they can keep people awake, there are a few other health items that could develop from heavily drinking coffee. Research has told us that that some of the side effects of drinking coffee in moderation may be beneficial. But on the other hand, some other effects of drinking a lot of coffee may be more harmful to your health than good. This article will look at a few of the other health effects that drinking coffee might have. By the way, I enjoy drinking green smoothies with my Vita Mix 5200 nearly as much as coffee. Here is a Vita Mix coupon if you are interested.
Too much coffee has been linked to infertility and problems with birth. Women who admitted to drinking coffee everyday had higher incidences of still birth deliveries. Research studies prove that drinking 2 or more cups of coffee per day more than doubles the risk of spontaneous abortion in the first trimester. Coffee drinking mothers can also find that their newborn babies have a lower than average birth weight. Switching to decaffeinated coffee may not offer a solution, as the chemicals present in the decaffeination process may still be present in trace amounts. Research also proves that drinking an excessive amount of coffee increases the LDL or low-density lipoproteins in the human body. High LDL is commonly associated with high cholesterol which often indicates cardiovascular disease. The risk of vascular disease, heart attack, and stroke are greatly increased with higher cholesterol. Researchers did find that coffee brewed using proper paper filters can reduce and even remove most of the harmful elements that increase cholesterol levels. Harmful components like cafestol and kahweol, which can only be found in coffee beans, actually bind to the paper in the filter rather than getting into the coffee. Using a plunger filter or a pressing pot by comparison is not as safe as using a paper filter.
In women patients who drink coffee, studies have shown that drinking too much coffee can lead to iron deficiency and anemia. Drinking too much coffee hampers the ability of the body to properly absorb iron. Maintaining a proper iron balance is important for the human body. Iron isn’t limited to transporting oxygen back and forth between the lungs and blood it also happens to be important for several different enzyme reactions. Iron also works to help control infections within the body. People suffering from iron deficiencies can have a very negative effect on these important functions. Anemia and constant fatigue are common results of prolonged iron deficiencies. Research does indicate that drinking coffee in moderation is good for your health. Drinking too much coffee though can have a negative impact on your health. Stay safe and healthy by limiting yourself to two or three cups of coffee daily. Limiting your coffee consumption to two or three daily cups will help you enjoy all the benefits without any of the risks. Last but not least, don’t forget to read these Vitamix 5200 reviews.
