Nine "secrets" about coffee, each one is a reason to love it more

Drinking coffee is good for your skin

Coffee can accelerate the metabolism of the skin, accelerate the excretion of waste keratin from the skin, and reduce dark circles caused by poor circulation. In addition, it has an antioxidant effect. Drinking coffee regularly can keep skin cells full of vitality and prevent cell oxidation, thus fighting aging.

Drinking coffee can prevent cancer

The polyphenols contained in coffee are a strong antioxidant. Drinking some coffee every day has a certain effect on cancer prevention and treatment.

Women who drank more than three cups of caffeinated coffee a day had a 21% lower risk of basal cell carcinoma than those who drank less than one cup a month. Caffeine can also inhibit tumor growth.

If women drink 4-6 cups of coffee a day, the incidence of breast cancer will be reduced by 25%-70%, even for women with a family history of breast cancer. This is because coffee can reduce the production of estrogen, which has a carcinogenic effect.

Drinking coffee after meals can nourish the stomach and aid digestion

Drinking coffee after a meal is good for stomach health. But on the other hand, if you drink coffee on an empty stomach, the secreted gastric juice will damage the gastric mucosa, thus damaging stomach health.

People who love meat are best to drink a cup of coffee after a meal, which has a good effect of removing greasiness and aiding digestion. In addition, the content of soluble dietary fiber in coffee is higher than that in orange juice, and caffeine can also stimulate the intestines to speed up peristalsis. Therefore, drinking coffee has the effect of relieving constipation.

Drinking coffee protects your liver

In recent years, there is increasing evidence that coffee can reduce the risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer. The polyphenols rich in coffee also have a protective effect on the liver. It is recommended that hepatitis patients drink some coffee every day, which is very beneficial for the repair of liver cells. Drinking coffee can also help people who are alcoholics, overweight, have diabetes or iron overload reduce the risk of liver disease, but there is no evidence that coffee and tea can reduce people's risk of chronic liver disease due to fatty liver or viral hepatitis.

Drinking coffee can protect against radiation damage

Radiation damage has become a prominent pollution and hazard at present, especially the radiation from household appliances, such as computers, microwave ovens, and televisions that are operated for a long time. Studies have clearly shown that coffee can help prevent radiation damage.

Drinking coffee can relieve exercise soreness

Drinking two cups of coffee after exercise can help relieve muscle soreness. A research report pointed out that drinking coffee can help people relieve muscle pain caused by excessive exercise. It is worth noting that although caffeine has the effect of relieving exercise pain, it is often only effective for people who do not drink coffee often.

Drinking coffee can help you sober up

Chlorogenic acid in coffee can prevent alcohol poisoning. Drinking a moderate amount of coffee after drinking alcohol can quickly oxidize acetaldehyde converted from alcohol, decompose it into water and carbon dioxide and excrete it from the body.

Drinking coffee can prevent gallstones

Some studies suggest that caffeinated coffee can stimulate gallbladder contraction and reduce the cholesterol in bile that is prone to form gallstones, thereby reducing people's risk of developing the most common gallstone disease.

Drinking coffee can prevent depression

People who drink coffee regularly feel happier, less irritable, and better in mood. Studies have shown that drinking a cup of coffee can really calm you down when you are irritable or depressed.
