I believe that coffee has more positive effects than negative effects. How often do you drink coffee? Coffee is a very familiar drink, and many people around the world drink coffee. So I was interested in the influence of drinking coffee. Some people say that drinking coffee is bad for health. Coffee contains caffeine. Because of this, it is said that if you drink too much coffee, you will be addicted to caffeine. However, for three reasons, I came to the conclusion that coffee is good for your health from various points of view.
First, coffee can make your risk of some diseases lower. I learned “last year, Medical News Today reported on a study suggesting that consuming three cups of coffee a day may reduce the risk of liver cancer by 50%, while another study suggests that drinking four cups a day could have the risk of mouth and throat cancer.” This fact shows coffee can protect us from some types of cancer. It’s remarkable, but it’s not only about cancer. According to an article, “participants who reported drinking more than 6 or 7 cups of coffee a day were 35% less likely to have type 2 diabetes, compared with those who reported drinking under 2 cups a day.” So these results may lead to the conclusion that drinking coffee can prevent some serious illnesses.
Second, coffee may help your life to be more efficient. Many people drink coffee in order not to sleep, and the fact that caffeine improves brain function is well known. Moreover, according to an article, “caffeine can increase adrenaline levels and release fatty acids from the fat tissues. It also leads to significant improvements in physical performance”. So coffee influences not only brain, but also whole body. In addition, I learned that “several studies show that caffeine can increase fat burning in the body and boost the metabolic rate”. For three reasons, coffee is good for you physical function.
Third, coffee may make your lives longer. I learned that “in a Harvard study published in 2011, women who drank 4 or more cups a day had a 20% lower risk of becoming depressed”. I think this result shows coffee can relieve stress, and improve mental health.In relation to this, “study with 208,424 individuals found that those who drank 4 or more cups per day were 53% less likely to commit suicide”. Therefore, coffee make your lives longer, because your state of mind will be more stable.
I found that coffee is helpful in prevention against serious illnesses, in physical function, and in mental health. Because of these reasons, drinking coffee has a lot of merits in your health. It is true that there is an addiction to caffeine, but if you drink moderate amount of coffee, that doesn’t matter. So I believe coffee has more positive effects than negative effects.
