The habit of drinking coffee has been integrated into modern people's lives. In addition to enjoying the aroma and taste of coffee, many people also think that drinking coffee can help themselves refresh themselves. Moreover, compared to soda, rare milk or sugary drinks, coffee seems to be healthier. Japanese gastroenterologist and health instructor Seiji Ishiguro shared a video on his Dr.Ishiguro channel to remind everyone of the impact of coffee on health.

No filtering coffee increases cardiovascular disease risks?

Dr. Ishiguro said that unfiltered coffee may increase cardiovascular disease risks than coffee that has been filtered. A Norwegian study found that people who have not eaten filter coffee (such as: condensed coffee, Turkish coffee, French filtered coffee, etc.) have a risk of heart disease 18% higher than those who have eaten filter coffee.

This is because coffee contains cafestol and cafédol, which increases the risk of cardiac disease, and filter equipment can absorb these oils. In addition, unfiltered coffee also has a higher content of caffeine. Too much caffeine will increase blood pressure, insomnia, and cause pressure on the cardiovascular system.

Are caffein pros and cons to health?

The doctor further explained "caffol" in the video. He said that although biological experiments showed that caffol can increase insulin secretion and regulate blood sugar levels, when the subjects of the study moved from animals to humans, there was no significant change in blood sugar and insulin sensitivity in people who took caffol supplements for 12 weeks. Therefore, from the perspective of avoiding risks, doctors suggest that drinking filter coffee is more beneficial to health.

Drinking more than 4 cups of coffee a day increases by 37%

In the past, many studies have pointed out that drinking coffee can help reduce risks such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, dementia, etc. The polyphenols in coffee have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, can prevent sclerosis and improve blood vessel function.

However, new research shows that if you drink more than 4 cups of coffee every day, the risk will increase by 37%. Ishiguro doctors suggest that coffee is not an unhealthy drink, but you must understand the impact of coffee on the body, and don’t drink more than three cups a day at most.
