Coffee and Health

For most people a breakfast without coffee would be inconceivable. Statistically, we each drink nearly 4 cups daily. And while people think they should not drink so much coffee, the latest research proves that, for healthy people, drinking a lot of coffee need not be a problem.

Caffeine is the most well known substance in coffee. Caffeine makes the tired lively, awakens the spirit, energizes the metabolism, and increases concentration, ability and attention.

Passionate coffee drinkers are convinced that coffee accelerates the thought process, That's why they gladly call it the "think drink". Caffeine energises the central nervous system. It also increases calorie consumption and with zero calories is no problem for the figure (as long as it's drunk 'black'). Many sports people (especially in endurance sports) take caffeine to improve their performance.

Scientific studies prove that coffee drinkers are less likely to suffer from gallstones and are also at a lower risk of diabetes as well as kidney stones. Roasting materials in the coffee work as antioxidants, i.e., as free radicals that can 'mop up', aggressive materials in the body, bind to them and defuse their strength. In addition, the materials used in roasting can energise the decontamination function of the body. Like all of life's luxuries - which you may consume in great quantity - the simple rule is, if you are unsure, ask your physician.
