\u2705 1. Reducing the risk of civilisation diseases<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

\u27a4 Type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular disease<\/h4>\n\n

Regular coffee drinking (2-5 cups a day) is associated with:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • lower risk of type 2 diabetes<\/strong> <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • reduced risk of neurodegenerative diseases (<\/strong> Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s),<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • lower mortality from cardiovascular disease.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
    \n\n

    \u2705 2. Support mental performance and mood<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

    \u27a4 alertness, attention, mood, depression<\/h4>\n\n

    Caffeine:<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    • stimulates the central nervous system, increases attention, reaction time, mental alertness,<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • can help alleviate symptoms of depression and<\/strong> improve mood (thanks to dopamine and serotonin).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
      \n\n

      \u2705 3. Antioxidants and anti-inflammatory effects<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

      Coffee is the largest source of antioxidants in<\/strong> the Western diet. It also surpasses fruits and vegetables (source: American Journal of Clinical Nutrition).<\/em> <\/p>\n\n

      ? The main health benefits of coffee<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

      1. Caffeine<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n
        \n
      • Improves concentration, physical performance and mood<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Increases metabolism and<\/strong> fat burning<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • May have a protective effect on the brain<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

        2. Chlorogenic acids (CGA)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n
          \n
        • Strong antioxidants<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Help regulate blood sugar levels<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • They have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

          3. Diterpenes (cafestol and kahweol)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

          (especially in unground coffee such as French press or espresso)<\/em><\/p>\n\n

            \n
          • Support liver detoxification<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • May have anticancer effects<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

            Note: in larger amounts, they can raise cholesterol – especially in unfiltered coffee.<\/p>\n\n

            4. Polyphenols<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n
              \n
            • Help reduce inflammation in<\/strong> the body<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Protects cells from oxidative stress<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • May have a positive effect on the gut microbiome<\/strong> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

              5. Trigonelline<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n
                \n
              • Substance with antibacterial effects<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • When roasted ,<\/strong> it is converted into niacin (vitamin B3), which promotes<\/strong> metabolism and healthy skin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
                \n\n

                ? Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n

                Coffee is more than caffeine. Thanks to its rich content of bioactive substances, it can be a daily dose of natural disease prevention<\/strong> if drunk in moderation. <\/p>\n\n

                The recommended daily dose of caffeine according to the Mayo Clinic is<\/em> up to 400 mg per day (<\/strong> approximately 3-5 cups of coffee).<\/p>\n\n
