Coffee 45 g +1.9 years

Do you remember your first cup of coffee? In my childhood home, the pan was always simmering with Skånerost, and friends and acquaintances came to visit for good conversation over coffee and coffee spontaneously.

Originals with nicknames such as Bosse-lampa, Målar-Rud, Helldovs, and Berra told stories of ancient times. Many have driven past a coffee roaster where the aroma rests heavily over the streets. Scent memory is the emotional memory that lasts the longest and evokes nostalgia.

It’s better to be a shareholder in Starbucks than a customer there. Do they sell the most tonnes of coffee, sugar, or milk? Instead of going to a café, you can go into nature or the park with a thermos. Make your pure organic coffee and invite colleagues and friends to a cup. Instead of regular milk, try almond milk, soy milk, or to make weaker coffee.

Coffee beans are berries that grow on a bush. It is believed that a herder discovered coffee’s refreshing taste in Ethiopia during the 16th century. He noticed that the goats gained energy and did not sleep at night after eating berries from a coffee bush. The shepherd told it to monastery monks, who made a potion from coffee beans, with which they stayed awake all night praying. The news spread to more monks and out into the world.

The astronauts on the International Space Station get coffee sent up into space. At first, they drank coffee out of bags to avoid spillage until the University of Portland invented a new coffee mug that could withstand weightlessness.

In one day, the world consumes 2.25 billion cups of coffee. Finland is the world champion in coffee drinking per capita, and coffee is the most traded commodity after oil.

Positive effects: A study of 450,000 people for 12 years was published in the European Journal of Preventative Cardiology by Professor Kevin Mc-Conway. Coffee drinkers were, in terms of mortality, 2.5 to 3.5 years younger than their actual age compared to non-coffee drinkers. “It’s not quite the same as saying that they will live between two and a half and three and a half years longer, but it’s pretty close to that.” Using the precautionary principle, we credit ourselves with an extra 1.9 years thanks to the coffee.

A study with 200,000 participants was followed for up to 30 years. People who consume 3-5 cups of coffee daily have a lower risk of premature death due to various factors, including cardiovascular disease and Parkinson’s disease, compared to non-coffee drinkers. The risk of early death is reduced by an impressive 15% for regular coffee drinkers. Both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee have advantages. Coffee’s bioactive compounds interfere with disease development and reduce inflammation.

500,000 people were followed for ten years. A connection was found between more significant amounts of coffee and lower death rates from all causes. Compared to non-drinkers, drinkers had 6-7 cups daily, with a 16% lower risk of early death. Instant coffee and decaffeinated coffee showed a similar health benefit.

A 20-year study of 45,335 people with type 2 diabetes found an association between lower risk and the number of cups of coffee drunk. Compared with no coffee, reduced risk ranged from 8% less with 1 cup a day to 33% less for 6 cups a day.

One study compared the highest intake of coffee (10 cups a day) with the lowest (under 1 cup) and found a 30% lower risk of type 2 diabetes in those who drank the most coffee.

Research shows that natural polyphenols in coffee can act as antioxidants and reduce harmful oxidative stress and inflammation in cells. They may have neurological benefits and be antidepressants.

A study of 263,923 people found that consumption of four or more cups of coffee a day had about a 10% lower risk of depression than those who did not drink any.

A study in the USA found a reduced risk of suicide with increased coffee consumption. Compared to non-coffee drinkers, the risk of suicide was 45% lower in those who drank 2-3 cups and 53% lower in those who drank at least 4 cups per day.

Low dopamine levels primarily cause Parkinson’s disease. Studies found a 25% reduced risk of Parkinson’s with a greater intake of caffeinated coffee.

Tip: Pat yourself on the back for all the coffee you’ve drunk throughout your life, and look forward to every cup in the future providing health benefits. Coffee has more than a thousand chemicals, and the taste is affected by the coffee bean, roasting, grinding, and brewing. Coffee tastes good and does good!
