Fascinating Coffee
Coffee facts – did you know?
There are so many misconceptions about coffee like it accelerates heart disease, gives you stomach ache, makes you put on weight, causes cancer, etc – the list goes on, but these are generally misconceptions and myths, especially if coffee consumption is solely blamed for these conditions. Recent research has proved otherwise and just like at the beginning of the coffee journey when coffee was seen as a great blessing, you will be glad to know that it still is. So for example did you know that ….
A cup of well prepared coffee has more anti-oxidants than a bowl of fruit – OK ! you’re asking what are anti-oxidants – a simple explanation, they are one of the many elements used to help fight cancer so rather than causing cancer, coffee might help you fight it.
Coffee accelerates the impact of paracetemol (headache pills for some), which means that if you have a headache and you take a headache pill which contains paracetemol and follow it with a cup of coffee, it can help get rid of your headache faster, provided you don’t go banging your head against the wall. In general, follow the rule of life for most things – “too much of anything is bad for you”. True, some people might feel nervous and unable to sleep if they have one cup of coffee, and true too, some people might down 20 espressos a day and not feel anything – it’s all about tolerance. I like coffee but I don’t have more than 5 cups of any type of coffee a day. However, I also have a double espresso an hour before I go to bed and it won’t keep me from falling asleep. However, for some people, any type of caffeine after midday affects them for the rest of the day. You’ve just got to know yourself and not push the boundaries, so to take it out on coffee, is just a simple excuse – what else did you eat and what kind of lifestyle do you lead ?
