The benefits of coffee for diabetic, stroke, cancer, parkinson, kidney stones, colon cancer

NEW YORK - Never underestimate a cup of coffee. According to a study from American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, coffee may reduce risk of type 2 diabetes. The content of substances in coffee, according to them, can help regulate glucose levels in blood, and therefore, diabetes was begone.

A study involving hundreds of patients they do, whether it has a family history of diabetes or not. Study participants who drank five cups of coffee a day had fewer internal inflammation - a risk factor for type 2 diabetes - than those who do not drink coffee.

According to a report in the journal, coffee can increase the concentration of adiponectin, a protein in the body that helps regulate glucose. The researchers speculate that drinking less than five cups a day may also be useful, although more study is needed to support these findings. "At least, these are preliminary findings that carry clues about the benefits of coffee for the prevention of diabetes," the cover of the report.

Twenty previous studies conducted worldwide indicate that coffee reduces the risk of diabetes type 2 by 50 percent. The researchers speculate that the cause is klorogenik acid in coffee acts to slow the absorption of sugar in digestion. Chlorogenik acid also stimulates the formation of GLP-1, a chemical substance that increases insulin (a hormone that regulates the absorption of sugar into the cells). Other substances in coffee that is trigonelin (pro-vitamin B3) is also thought to help slow the absorption of glucose.

This is not the first research about the benefits of coffee. Previous research shows, coffee was also beneficial for preventing the formation of kidney stones, colon cancer, Parkinson's disease, liver damage (cirrhosis), heart disease, as well as inhibit the cognitive decline in brain power.

Research consistently shows that coffee reduces the risk of liver cancer and breast cancer. Coffee also protects the liver from cirrhosis, particularly cirrhosis due to alcoholism.

Coffee has also been identified to reduce the risk of stoke. A study of more than 83 thousand women over the age of 24 years showed those who drank two to three cups of coffee a day had a stroke risk 19 percent lower than those who do not drink coffee. Studies on a number of men in Finland showed the same results.

A study of 4197 women and 2820 men in France showed that drinking at least three cups of coffee a day can prevent cognitive decline in brain function due to aging up to 33 percent in women. However, the same benefits not found in men. This may be because women are more sensitive to caffeine.
