Live longer and disease free with coffee

Normally, health professionals will tell you that coffee is a bad thing, and it should be consumed sparingly.   However, Sheridan Genrich, a nutritionist gives us some insight with new research.  It seems through multiple research projects, that the magic number of cups is between 2 and 4, consumed before noon.

1. Coffee can reduce the odds of cognitive decline,
2. Coffee can reduce oxidative damage to brain cells,
3. Coffee can improve in insulin sensitivity,
4. Coffee can lower incidence of Parkinson’s disease,
5. Coffee can reduce stroke risk,
6. Coffee can lower the risk of death from all causes.

I thought this sounded too good to be true, but the research is there.  However, there are some conditions and times that should be considered:

1. Drink filtered coffee to remove diterpenes. Diterpenes cause elevation in cholesterol levels.
2. Avoid added sugars.
3. Drink coffee black, or nearly so. Cow’s milk reduces polyphenol absorption by nearly 30%.
4. Fresh is best!

These people should avoid over consumption of coffee:

1. People who are subject to panic and anxiety attacks
2. People who cannot control their blood pressure,
3. Pregnant or breastfeeding women,
4. People who suffer from epilepsy.
