Coffee And Health

Coffee can likely contribute to greater health of the consumption of fruits and vegetables,
according to the results of scientific research by experts of the United States (U.S.).
The scientists counted the number of anti-oxidant content (anti-free radical ingredient red) in more than 100 types of food including vegetables, fruits, nuts, various spices, oils and beverages.
The findings are then combined with existing data on the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the contribution of each type of diet the average American.
Coffee proved to be the source of the largest anti-oxidants from every time and level of consumption.
After coffee the following sequence is black tea, bananas, dry beans, and corn.
The American people have a source of anti-oxidants than coffee consumption compared to the type of food or other drinks, and so far there was no food or drink that matched the coffee, "said chief researcher Professor Joe team Vison from Scranton University in Pensylvania.
Both caffeinated coffee or decaffeinated both contribute the same anti-oxidant levels.
Meanwhile in the UK coffee consumption was lower than in the United States, recorded only 47 percent of British people who regularly drink coffee or instant coffee powder, according to market analysts Mintel body.
Anti-oxidants help the body dispose of substances harmful to the body radicals, destructive molecules that damage cells and DNA (blue print of the smallest living cells).
Anti-free radical element is associated with a number of benefits and health benefits including protecting a person from the get cancer or heart disease.
The results of these studies shows Coffee may reduce the risk of liver and colon cancer, type II diabetes and Parkinson's disease.
But Vinson suggested that coffee consumption was fixed at the level of one or two cups per day. But, he said again, it is also important to keep attention to the benefits of fresh fruits and fresh vegetables.
"Unfortunately, consumers take advantage of vegetables and fresh fruits in the amount less, a far better health than other foods viewed from the side with the nutritional value of vitamins, minerals and fiber," Vinson said at the time the results of his research at the annual meeting of the union American chemist (States) in Washington DC.
The results also showed that compared with other food ingredients, "date" also contain the highest antioxidant.
But because Americans consume dates in a very small amount of the contribution to the U.S. public health standards are not so great.
Cranberry fruit and red wine also contain anti-oxidants are high.
A spokesman from the British Society of coffee drinkers said: "The results of this research has emphasized the fact that coffee consumption in the current amount, approximately four to five cups a day not only safe, but also provides many benefits for health.
